Story
The cosmos (the concept) contains everything. Cosmos (the dog) works on a similar scale.
This little teddy bear is smart, alert, curious, eager to please, and deeply, completely devoted to his people. He wants to be by your side and will return any love and attention given to him approximately ten-fold. He looks like a walking stuffed animal. He does not shed. He is, by his foster's account, the cutest, most lovable, best boy there is . If that’s not enough, you should know that his foster parents delayed giving us this info because they weren't ready to come to terms with him leaving.
He's very puppy: He plays, wrestles, digs, chews, romps around, and occasionally helps himself to whatever treat his brother has, because sharing is a concept he supports only in theory. He's been great with a chaotic household full of kids and adults, responds well to training, and has made real progress on separation anxiety with consistent work.
A few things to know going in: he'll need someone committed to continuing that training work, ideally as the star of the show rather than part of a big dog pack, and he'll need regular grooming (the teddy bear look requires some upkeep). He's people-oriented to his core, and a family or person who wants to invest in him is going to get a companion who makes them laugh every single day and loves them with everything he's got.
His foster is going to miss him so, so much. Whoever gets him next is going to understand why!

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:
✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.
✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).
✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.
The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.
Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.
Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
