Matilda

Meet Matilda, a 2-year-old brindle beauty who proves that patience truly pays off. At 24 pounds, she’s a little larger than your typical chihuahua, but that just means there’s more of her to love once she decides you’re worthy of her affection. And trust us—being “picked” by Matilda feels like winning the lottery, because when she bonds, she bonds for life.<br/><br/>Matilda is a gentle soul who doesn’t rush into new friendships. Treats help (because who can say no to snacks?), but mostly she just needs a little time to see that you’re the real deal. While she’s building her confidence, she takes cues from friendly, confident canine companions, so a resident dog could be her perfect partner-in-crime.<br/><br/>Don’t mistake her shyness for aloofness, though. Matilda’s got plenty of love to give—it’s just wrapped in a slightly mysterious package. Once she lets you in, you’ll see her sweet, loyal side that makes her a true gem. Spayed, chipped, and UTD on vaccines, Matilda is ready for her very own happily-ever-after. After all, just like her name suggests, she’s a little magical.<br/><br/>Want to meet her? Please fill out our application at azhartt.org/adopt<br/><br/>Requirements include meeting everyone in the household, dog intros (if applicable), and a home check. <br/><br/>Adoption applications are approved on a best-fit basis. <br/><br/>We do not do out-of-state adoptions.
