💙 Foster Note

Matilda is a curious little lady who has been enjoying her 1-3 mile walks around Central Park. She's keen to say hello to other pups and needs to chase a squirrel, so I indulge and run with her. At home: she likes to nap on the couch or next to our desks, chase squeaky toys, and chew on her minty bone.

She's happiest next to you and likes to sleep in the same bedroom. If she had it her way, she would like to sleep in your bed. She's potty trained, a good guard dog (against the other small dogs in the building) ;)

Matilda would do great in a household with other dogs and kids. She will choose a favorite caretaker and neighbor!
