Dumped at the shelter with back leg deformities.....he was so scared and alone!
Meet our handsome boy Cosmo! He is a 2 year old, 16lb, Maltipoo that was dumped at a local shelter with back leg deformities. The shelter reached out to us to see if we could help by bringing him into our rescue and we said yes! Cosmo has been to the vet and a very good orthopedic specialist who basically feels that he was born like this and surgery on his legs is only a 60% chance of success. For now, with our vets input, we feel that he is doing so fine on his own that we are holding off on surgery and he may never need it....all we know is this little guy can get around just fine! He can keep up with all his doggy friends like you wouldn't believe! He cannot go on long walks though as it could put a lot of stress on his legs, but he absolutely LOVES the backyard and has so much fun just walking and trotting along with his friends. We are looking for a committed foster home, foster to adopt home, or better yet....a forever home for our sweet boy! Cosmo needs a single level home with no deep stairs. He is fine with a couple porch stairs, but not more than that. A home with owners that are not gone long hours during the day would be ideal as he absolutely loves being around people. He could be your one and only dog in the home getting all the attention or he could go in a home with a sweet, calm dog. He does not do well with dominant dogs that will growl or bark at him. Cosmo is getting the hang of getting potty trained and needs a patient and loving home that will be understanding if he has an accident. He is a quick learner and will get it in no time! Cosmo is a young dog who we feel didn't get the love and attention in his prior home, so we want to find him the best forever home out there!
Cosmo is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered
We only adopt in Southern California as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial are required.
