Matilda is a nearly three-year-old double dapple dachshund, predominantly white with just a few golden sand colour patches.
Little Matilda suffers from almost complete deafness and blindness, with micro eyes, which makes her respond inconsistently to high or very low pitched sounds and see only vague shadows.
Matilda has lived with her current owner since she was rescued as an 8-week-old puppy experiencing hardships, she has been loved dearly.
Recently Matilda  has been involved in intense fighting with another dog, possibly due to her tendency to guard and protect the owner and also the loss of another dog which has affected hierarchy among the remaining, (Matilda is now bottom dog in the hierarchy and dominated by the another).
Matilda is highly strung and stressed in the current situation leading to owner seeking a new home for Matilda, preferably with humans only or paired with a gentle male dog.

Matilda is not toilet trained and is primarily an outside dog, although she has indoor access when she feels like being social or for sleeping. Matilda can reacts to visitors, other dogs, and smells on her home turf, but rarely making contact due to spatial unawareness.
Despite her challenges, Matilda is described as beautifully tempered, cute, energetic, smoochy, loving towards humans, demure and quiet when outside pottering around.
To meet Matilda’s needs she requires a dedicated family with time to help her, train her, and provide constant love compassion and  company.
Matilda has been living on an acreage and navigates herself perfectly by smell and slight shadows.
