Little bit about Matilda

Hi there! My name is Matilda, and I’m a sweet, energetic red Australian Cattle Dog ready to find my forever family. I’m still young and full of energy, and as a working breed, I’m always looking for ways to keep my mind and body busy. I thrive when I have tasks to do, whether it’s running, playing, or learning something new. I need a family who can provide me with plenty of mental stimulation—whether through puzzle toys, obedience training, or fun games like fetch—that will keep my clever mind engaged and happy.

I absolutely love being active, so if you enjoy outdoor adventures, I’ll be your perfect companion for long walks, hikes, and playtime. But, because I’m such an energetic and intelligent girl, I’ll need a family who understands my breed and can give me the structure I need to succeed. I do well with children over 12, as I can be a bit too much for younger kiddos. I’ll also need to meet any other dogs in the home before we make it official to make sure we’re a good match.

I’m looking for a home that can give me a mix of indoor and outdoor space to burn off my energy, and one where I’ll be able to continue my training as I grow. I'll need tall fencing as well please! I've never tried to escape my house buuuut I am able to jump very high so just in case! If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and loving companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your life with joy, I’d love to meet you! Let’s see if we’re the right fit.
