Matilda
County ID A5170010
Deadline: Monday, September 21.
Matilda is a four-year-old girl who has been friendly and willing with handlers since the day she arrived, but she has been fighting a respiratory illness that won't clear. She's been marked urgent medical because of it, and time is short.
Already applied? Call or text 602-834-4911 and tell us it is Matilda.
What the shelter has seen
- Came to the front of her kennel with a relaxed body and fast tail wags when handlers approached, allowed petting
- Walked on leash and loaded into kennel without issue, allows all handling
- Soft, wiggly body—sought attention from staff right away
What Matilda needs
She needs a foster who can get her out of the shelter and into a quiet place where she can finally shake this thing. Staff recommend proper decompression time and careful dog-to-dog introductions after she's settled.
Everything here comes from Matilda’s Maricopa County Animal Care and Control record. We leave out the parts that belong between the shelter, the rescue and the vet, and we do not soften what a dog needs. If something changes at the shelter, this page changes with it.
