Bicycles and motorcycles are the worst and I love telling humans to "GET OFF OF THEM!!" My mom is working on it with me. I used to run away all the time chasing squirrels, but I'm getting better. I love to sniff and explore.“

But what she lacks in physical ability (due to injuries and her size) she makes up for in her curiosity and playful yelps! Her injuries as a pup have kept her from getting to explore much outside of our Denver neighborhood, so Matilda is very eager to finally get the chance to explore new places!“

  — Mackenzie M.

• “My name is Matilda, and I am a sweetheart rescue dog! I was found as a stray, and we don’t know much about my history. I am reactive, and it’s because I’m very easily frightened. My family is working with a trainer to help me become more relaxed and friendly!“

I love to play furry with friends big and small, but I am a boxer so I like to paw at my friends and pretend I’m Mike Tyson, so little friends are sometimes overwhelmed by my awesome energy!“

  — Sarah P.

• “A pittie/boxer mix with personality and energy for days. She's the life of the party. She's extremely smart and stubborn. She is utd on her vaccinations and takes a monthly preventative.“
