Matilda

Matilda is a 4-month-old Lab/Husky mix bursting with puppy joy! At 23 lbs, she is so sweet and adorable, especially when she catches her reflection-she always wants to play with the "other dog."She adjusted beautifully into her foster home, not missing a beat. She loves wrestling with dog pals, playing tug-of-war, and playing her own version of fetch: she chases after it, shows you, and then runs around with it in her mouth. She will probably be happiest with frequent play sessions (either with another dog or her people), and a decent walk each day.Matilda does great with other dogs, acting curious and excited to make new friends. She would likely do best in a home with another dog already, or plenty of time with her humans. She has not met cats yet, so a proper introduction is recommended. She loves being picked up and cuddled by kids, though like all puppies she mouths when excited so it's good to have chew toys handy. Matilda likes to nap in her crate, and spends a few hours a day confined to the crate. She settles after a bit but will require a home without shared walls due to barking when left alone. She is making steady progress with house training-she struggled with cold weather but can use puppy pads. If you're looking for a playful, sweet, slightly dramatic puppy, Matilda is ready for you!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
