Cosmo D6071
Cosmo, his mom and siblings were found as strays and left at a distant shelter (4 hour drive for transporter). Homeless guardian reclaimed mom (shelter spayed her) but left the puppies. Mom is a med size Shep/Husky mix. Dad was a chi x. We rescued in 6 puppies. All are social friendly and adorable. Cosmo is adorable with his blue eyes. More info. to come as they learn at their foster homes.
Update from his foster home: Cosmo is the curious, social one. Always the first to stop what he's doing to investigate an interesting sound or smell. He is the social butterfly of the trio and goes with the flow. He is just as happy playing with his siblings as he is getting cuddles from his people. The pups have the intelligence of a German Shepherd, the spirit of a Husky, and the portable size of a Chihuahua.
Cosmo: The Curious Socialite Cosmo is the quintessential "go-with-the-flow" guy. While his sisters are busy plotting, Cosmo is busy making friends. He is a social butterfly who stops everything to investigate a new smell or a funny sound with wagging-tail enthusiasm.
Personality: Social, inquisitive, and incredibly balanced.
Special Talent: Seamlessly transitioning from a high-energy wrestling match with his siblings to a quiet cuddle session on your lap.
Ideal Match: A home looking for a versatile companion BFF who will be just as happy at a dog-friendly cafe as he is lounging during a movie night.
