Cosmo

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 4 mos
Milford, IA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs,
Story
Cosmo is a guy who's always eager to learn new skills. He already knows "sit" and "down", but is hoping to learn more in his adoptive home! Cosmo can be timid when entering social interactions with other animals. He may like cat friends in his adoptive home and has proven to be interested in dogs since being in our care. We would recommend a slow intro to cats and a dog intro to resident dogs prior to being adopted to ensure compatability! Cosmo enjoys long walks, bouncing around the yard, and soaking up all the love from his people.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ready to bring adventure and snuggles into your life! I'm energetic and packed with personality. Mae knows many commands like sit, down, and sit pretty. Mae might be interested in other dogs but can be dog selective at times. We would recommend a dog intro prior to bringing her home. She can be unsure of new people but warms up quickly with treats. Mae loves to hug, kiss, and sing to you when she's excited.
