Story
Meet Matilda Woodworm — proof that resilience and love can completely transform a life. At just 9 months old and around 35–40 lbs, this mixed breed sweetheart has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. Matilda came into rescue nearly hairless from neglect and mange, but with proper treatment, good nutrition, and lots of love, she’s blossomed into a beautiful girl with a soft, full coat and an even more beautiful spirit.
Despite her rough beginning, Matilda absolutely adores people. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happiest when she’s near her humans — whether that means following you from room to room, curling up for snuggles, or simply keeping you company. She has a joyful, gentle personality that makes everyone fall in love with her.
Matilda is also a social butterfly with other dogs. Fostered with both another puppy and a 100 lb dog, she happily plays with dogs of all sizes, ages, and genders. If another furry friend is ready to wrestle or romp, Matilda is all in! After playtime, she’s perfectly content to settle down with a favorite bone to chew.
She is crate trained, highly food motivated, and eager to learn, which makes training fun and rewarding. She’s currently working hard on mastering potty training and continues to make progress every day.
Matilda is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $275.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
