Matilda

Matilda was brought to Happy Doggo land after being hit by a car late at night. She was in terrible pain and suffered a broken hip, dislocated ankle and damaged knee. Poor Matilda wasn't able to stand up on her hind legs at all, it was very frustrating for her and she tried to drag herself around. Her recovery has been long and challenging but after 2 visits to the big hospital and operations on her legs Matilda is now walking again, slowly and with a limp.

She is no longer in pain and is enjoying being able to move about again by herself. She will always walk this way and won't require any more operations. A quiet household would suit Matilda, where she could relax (which is her favourite activity!) and go on gentle outings. She will need encouragement with her walking everyday to keep up strength in her legs but can only manage short walks. Matilda's new owners would also need to be able to pick her up such as to help her get into the car.

Despite her ordeal, Matilda is a sweet, gentle and good natured dog who loves attention from humans. She would be suited to people who are at home a lot, perhaps working from home or retired. Matilda must be the only dog in the house, she would not welcome dog visitors to her home!
