Meet Cosmo, a terrier pit bull mix, that arrived as a stray on 3/22 at the Mesquite Animal Shelter. He weighs 62 pounds, is one year old and is neutered. This is a youngster who is on the move! Places to go, people to see, and things to do! He was so excited to be in the yard, that he ran and played and exhibited typical puppy enthusiasm and energy! He is high energy and will jump on you. However, he does respond to a firm voice correcting his behavior. Obedience classes would be a wonderful idea for this pup just like any other puppy. He ran around the yard chasing balls, but not returning them. He loves treats, and seems quite treat-motivated, which should make it somewhat easy to train and teach him some commands. Cosmo is playful and enjoyed playing with toys. He pottied in the yard. He walks fine on a leash. He is a-OK with receiving loving attention. That is once he slows down! This is a boy who would not want to live outside in the backyard. Rather, he wants to live inside with his people and be an important part of their lives.
