Matilda - Adopted

Name: Matilda

Age: 7 months

Breed: Australian Shepherd

Sex: Female (altered)

Location: North Fentress County, TN

Vet Info: Matilda is confirmed spayed.  She is up to date on vaccines and on heartworm preventative.  She weighs approximately 35 - 40 pounds.   Her rescuer writes that she appears to be completely blind, but can hear.

Owner Info: Matilda is a beautiful and very sweet girl who was brought in to a vet's office to be PTS because she is blind.  The vet's office could not euthanize her!  Instead, they contacted a local rescue who paid for her vetting and is trying to find her proper placement.  They are a small rural rescue and do not have a foster home for Matilda, so she is currently in boarding.  They are very much hoping we will have a place for her.

Matilda is not yet housebroken but is almost leash trained.  Her rescuer gave us more details:  "... walks on a leash but not fine tuned.  She do not potty in her kennel so she appears to have good potty habits. This is a dog that I would expect would

house trained easily."

Matilda is good with both men and women, and male and female dogs.  She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has not bitten or snapped.   Other than her blindness, her rescuer tells us she appears to be happy and healthy.

Her rescuer wants us to know what a very sweet girl Matilda is and how she wishes Matilda had a place to go!   "I hate seeing this sweet girl up there in boarding but it's the best we have right now."
