Meet Rico, a charming Pom mix who is looking for a fresh start.

Sadly, his previous human could no longer care for him—a situation we see too often, especially when seniors adopt young dogs without considering the long-term commitment.

The truth is, puppies and adolescent dogs require a level of energy, training, and care that can be overwhelming. As much as we love our furry companions, life circumstances can change, making it difficult to provide for them. If you’ve followed Animatch for a while, you’ll know that we often have dogs needing rehoming for this very reason. That’s why having a backup plan is essential—it’s an act of love and responsibility to ensure our pets are never left without a home.

At Animatch, we believe there’s a perfect dog for everyone, no matter their age. We encourage adoption at all stages of life, but it’s important to find a dog that matches your lifestyle and abilities. Our priority is always the well-being of the dog, ensuring they find a home where they’ll never be homeless again.

Rico is now waiting for his forever family. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate and playful side shines through. As a Pomeranian mix, he does shed and requires regular brushing—but remember, Poms should never be shaved!

If you’re ready to offer Rico a loving, forever home, please fill out the application form. He’s eager to start his next chapter with you!
