Matilda
German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · Baby · Female · Medium · Oakland, CA
Notes from Oakland Animal Services
Meet Matilda, a sweet, gentle puppy who’s still discovering the world! At 8 months old and 35 pounds, she can be shy around new people and is still learning how to walk on leash. Once she feels comfortable, she’ll approach people for pets and is tolerant of gentle handling. She may need time and patience to feel safe in a new home, but she has lots of room to grow with positive reinforcement and encouragement.
Matilda has also been a lovely, gentle presence in playgroups, enjoying the company of other dogs while checking in with her human friends. She could be a good match for a compatible canine companion or enjoy making dog friends as a solo pup. Matilda will need a patient adopter ready to help her build confidence, learn the basics, and explore the world at her own pace.
