About Matilda

Hi all my name is Matilda but my foster family calls me Tilly for short, they say the nickname is as cute as I am. I'm a sweet little Maltese only 7 pounds & 7 years old. I spent my life as a puppy mill dog caring for my puppies all this time so I can be a little timid when meeting new people as I haven't met many in the past. I'm now learning what it means to be a real dog in a real home & there's lots of things that I love. Let's see�'�| love having a soft bed, blankets & throw pillows to rest my head on, definitely love other dogs & cats even though most are much bigger than I am. I'm getting the hang of playing with toys which I never had before & my foster mom thinks I walk very well on my leash & praises me all the time. I almost have potty training down but just in case I can't hold it overnight I have a wee wee pad for emergencies but I'm confident that's temporary because I'm also extremely smart. I do get nervous sometimes when I'm picked up but I do want to be close to my foster family & love TV time on the couch with them. If you're looking for someone little, sweet & well behaved to take on adventures then I'm the girl for you�����%8F Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit. Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.
