She is an all around good dog. Her adoption fee has been reduced to $20. We really want to find Matilda a home because she has been here for a while,” said shelter director Emmaly Bennett.

“If you are interested in adopting Matilda please check out the adoptable pet’s link on our website at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/to fill out an application and see her picture and we will call you to come in and meet her.
