Matilda: A Cheerful Puppy with a Heart of Gold


Matilda is a two-month-old puppy who was just brought to a shelter after being found as a stray dog. Despite her difficult circumstances, she remains a cheerful and affectionate pup, with a gut full of parasites and chafed skin. Teresa Bowles-Chiofalo, the founder of Pibbles & More Animal Rescue, says Matilda is "nothing less than wonderful."

According to Santina Sanders, a volunteer at the Georgian Douglas County Animal Shelter:

"She also delivered the most adorable kisses. She had never seen anything more adorable than her."

On Wednesday, Teresa went to the shelter to pick up Matilda and transport her to a foster family. Matilda was following closely behind with her tail wagging "a mile a minute" and a bright smile on her face. Teresa remarked:

"She rocked her the entire 1.5 hours."

Teresa was so moved by Matilda's kindness that she made a few stops along the way to spoil her. Currently living with her adoptive mother Kerrie Rich, Matilda has developed into an even more endearing and delightful dog in only a few short days.

Matilda's Playful Personality

Despite being abandoned, Matilda always has a smile on her face. She tries to play with Kerrie's other dog by giving out lots of licks and a little bark (sometimes successfully). She loves playing with toys, and when she's happy, she "bounces like a bunny." Kerrie added:

"She walks funny because she wags her tail so much."


When Kerrie attempted to put a collar on Matilda, it was the only time she truly stopped wagging her tail. Given how inflamed Matilda's skin is, Kerrie surmises that the necklace must have caused some discomfort. So when her skin starts to feel better, she will try again.

Up for Adoption

Matilda will be up for adoption when she receives her collar, and some very fortunate family will be able to enjoy this tiny puppy forever. Despite her difficult start in life, Matilda remains a happy and affectionate pup, with a heart of gold and a tail that never stops wagging. She is a reminder of the resilience of the canine spirit and the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds.

In Conclusion

In the words of Teresa Bowles-Chiofalo:

"Matilda is nothing less than wonderful."

We couldn't agree more. Matilda is a shining example of the unwavering resilience and unconditional love that dogs are capable of, and a reminder of the importance of providing love and care to animals in need.
