Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rico Suave is about 6 years old and weighs 5 pounds. He is a sweetheart to those who have earned his trust and confidence but it takes time. Because of this, he would not be the best candidate for a home with children. He does great with other dogs, male and female. Rico is quite feline in nature and prefers his independence. He is not very vocal, but will bark when someone comes to the door. He is crate-trained and walks well on a leash. He is not recommended for inexperienced adopters. He needs a calm, patient home that will not expect to much from him too soon and can let him have his independence. He needs a home that will not require him to socialize with strangers or visitors. His adoption fee is $175 and covers the cost of his neuter, all core vaccines (Rabies and Distemper/Parvo), deworming, microchip, and microchip registration. If you are interested in being considered for adoption, please complete an application, available on our website, poochmatch.com, under the adoption tab and please read the paragraphs below for more details on our process.
If this listing is still posted, we are still accepting applications for him/her. We do not do out-of-state adoptions on highly adoptable dogs; we would only consider out-of-state adoptions for dogs that prove hard-to-place locally. We cannot hold dogs, please submit your application when you are ready to adopt.
If you are interested in meeting any Poochmatch dog at our weekly adoption event on Saturdays at the Petsmart in Yorba Linda, CA (5521 Mirage St.) between 1-5 PM, please fill out an application from our website, poochmatch.com, and submit it no later than 11 AM on Fridays. Upon receipt AND approval, the dog you are interested in meeting will be made available to meet on a Saturday. Due to the high volume of dogs and puppies in our foster homes, it is impossible to bring them all every Saturday. The only way to ensure that the dog that you are interested in will be at the adoption event is to FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AND BE APPROVED. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that the dog you are interested in will be at our adoption event. If you cannot make the time frame of our events, appointments can be made at another time and location solely at the discretion of the foster parent. Please understand that private appointments will be coordinated to meet the convenience of the foster parent/transporter. We cannot hold dogs, please submit your application when you are ready to adopt.
All adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, full sets of core vaccinations (rabies and 1 set of distemper/parvo for adults, 4 for puppies) and deworming. Adoption fees vary based on age, breed, size and the costs incurred on the dog's behalf by us i.e. medical, behavioral training, etc. and they range from $225-$495.
