Story
Meet Cosmo: Your Future Furry Companion
Hello, future pet parents! My name is COSMO, and I'm on a quest to find my forever home. I recently found myself in the care of Just Paws and my amazing foster dad because my previous owner could no longer take care of me. But no worries, I'm ready to bring love, joy, and companionship to a new family!
**About Me:**
- **Breed:** Cockpoo Mix
- **Age:** 2 years old
- **Weight:** 27lbs.
**Groomed and Ready:**
I may have arrived as a long-haired, matted mess, but check out my fabulous post-grooming photos! I was a good boy with the groomer. Thanks to the care of my foster dad, I'm feeling refreshed and looking forward to my next adventure. My new family will need to keep me groomed as I’m the type of dog who needs it.
**Health Update:**
I was neutered on March 18. I received a good health check from the Vet – vaccinated and microchipped as well. The vet staff said I was a sweet boy. I have recovered from the surgery and ready to find my forever home.
**Living Situation:**
- **House Training:** Is good with only just a couple of accidents. Don’t expect perfection, especially as I adjust to my new forever home – it takes time and patience.
- **Kids:** I would probably be best in an adult only home. I’m still going through some puppy nipping at times so I don’t want to upset the kids plus I have lots of energy, so much older kids is better.
- **Leash Skills:** Getting there, with a touch of nervousness around other dogs (but probably due to my lack of walking/socialization in the past). Leash training is a must as I also like to pull.
- **Sleep Habits:** I'm a champion sleeper, and I love a good cuddle session. I’m used to sleeping close to my humans.
- **Crate:** I’m just OK in my crate with the door left open but I prefer not to have a crate. I get very upset if you close the crate door and I only like to go in the crate when I’m ready. I like to be close to my people but I’m good on my dog bed.
**Energy and Playtime:**
I'm a medium-energy pup who adores chasing and playing in the backyard. My foster dad thinks I'd do well with another friendly dog (but not necessary) and an active family. While I'm still getting used to walks and socializing, I'm eager to learn and explore the world with you. The more walks and playtime I get, makes for a happier and well-adjusted dog.
**Ideal Home:**
For now, a house with a secure fenced yard would be perfect for me. I am not suited for the apartment lifestyle as I do bark – and that would be very annoying to your neighbours. My foster dad believes I'll thrive in a loving home where I receive attention, playtime, and, most importantly, lots of love. It would be great if you don’t leave me for long periods of times – when my foster dad leaves I only bark for a minute or two – I eagerly await his return and excited to see him. Experienced dog owner is probably best for me as I do need some training (unless you are willing to invest in a Trainer). I get very excited and barky when new people come into the home to visit but will settle. I went for a playdate with 3 other dogs at the home and I did OK.
**Final Thoughts:**
There's still much to discover about but I'm already looking forward to finding a family that will cherish me forever. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a cuddly, friendly, and playful companion, I might just be the perfect match for you! My foster dad thinks I’m an amazing little guy. It is going to take time for me to adjust to a new home but if you got the time, love and patience I’m sure I will be happy as I have been through a lot of change in my young life – I need some stability to know I have found my forever home.
