Meet COSMO
Hi! I’m Cosmo. I am almost 10 years old and lost my long-time owner several months ago. I have been in foster care since May 31st, 2025. My foster parents have learned that I do very well with routines and schedules. I love to cuddle & would absolutely sleep in bed with you if allowed! I am always hungry, and my foster parents have worked hard to help me slim down and become extra strong and healthy. I go on daily walks and would absolutely chase squirrels and cats if I was not leashed. I do like to beg for food, and can be whiny about it, but I’m extra cute, so you’ll absolutely have to resist giving in to me! I do exceptionally well on car rides & will lounge with you and then maybe get the zoomies. I know basic commands like, sit, speak, lay & paw. I love lounging on the couch with my foster parents; and love snuggling in the blanket I stole from my foster mom. Though I can get along with other dogs, I like to be the boss and am protective, I wouldn’t do great with another dog in the home-I want to be completely spoiled.
