My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, folks! I'm Cosco, and I'm ready to be the apple of your eye at the checkout line of life!

Let me tell you, I'm one smart cookie. I love nothing more than soaking up attention from my favorite humans, and I'm always eager to show off my impressive repertoire of tricks. Sure, I may be a bit energetic and strong-willed, but hey, that just means I'm bursting with personality, right? With a little bit of leash training, I'll be strutting down the aisle like a pro in no time.

Now, speaking of treats, I'm a big fan of milk bones and any other small treats you've got to offer. Trust me, nothing gets my tail wagging faster than the promise of a tasty snack! And while we're on the topic of food, let me just say that I'm like a can of beans - full of energy and ready to fuel all our adventures together.

I may have come from our local Animal Control, so my backstory is a bit of a mystery. But hey, that just means I've got a blank canvas ready to be filled with love, laughter, and plenty of playful moments. With your guidance and support, I know I'll be the star of the show in no time.

So, what do you say? Ready to take me home and let me be the MVP of your family? I promise to bring endless joy, cuddles, and maybe even a few surprises along the way. Let's embark on this shopping spree of life together - I guarantee it'll be a cart full of fun!
