Matilda - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Oakland, California

• Hi, I'm Matilda, an approximately 2-year-old long-haired Chihuahua mix looking for a patient and understanding home.
• I can be very shy and fearful when meeting new people, and I need time, space, and gentle introductions to feel safe.
• Once I trust someone, I can form strong bonds and enjoy having a special person in my life.
• My friends at the shelter have seen me steadily build confidence and expand my social circle when I'm allowed to move at my own pace.
• If you're willing to give me the time I need to blossom, you'll have the opportunity to watch a shy little dog grow into a devoted companion. Primary Color: Blonde Weight: 10.6lbs Age: 2yrs 3mths 1wks Animal has been Spayed
