Rescue senior red setter


MAtilda was left by is own owner to be euthanised in a local county shelter in the north of portugal - Maia.
She has a small mammary Tumor, her overall condition is bad and she seems to be around 12 wich turns her to be a good candidate to the perfect homeless!!! or at least put her in the most difficult group of dogs to be adopted - seniors dogs - unfortunatly!
Matilda needs extra care and a caring owner who understands she is on her last months with luck maybe years.
Matilda has developed a strange behaviour: sometimes if off the leash she starts to walk and walk and walk panting in stress. We need to stop making her sit and calm her down. Poor dog!
Today i took her to Aveiro in the north, where she finally found a house to relax a bit!!!
my friend Leonor is a caring person and understands well how much Matilda will need extra care on her last years.
Leonor prefers to call Matilda - Maggie so it will bring her new luck.
it was incredible how Maggie settle in so fast and how happy she was to have a bed for herself!
thank you so muchLeonor.

Such a lovely old lady, I am so glad she has a comfortable bed of her own. In this 'throw away society' why do people think that dogs are 'throw away' she gave her life to them the least they could have done was see her through her old age, but it seems to me that she has ''fallen on her paws'' good luck to her and her new family

Thanks God, there are good and wise people who can care for Matilda-Maggie.
Each dog deserves to live till his lasts days with his owners, but somebody a human being not deserves to be a dog owner.
Thank you Eduarda and Leonor for your goodness and heart.
Many, many nice days for Matilda-Maggie in safe home:)))
