Cosette was born on December 22, 2023—your classic Capricorn, thoughtful and steadfast under pressure. This soulful, tricolor Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull mix puts her whole heart into everything, especially bonding with her people. She’s happiest with a family to call her own, a cozy spot to curl up, and plenty of affection flowing both ways. If you pause too long, she’ll be nudging in for more kisses. Built for activity, Cosette needs space to burn off energy. A securely fenced yard is a must, or someone who can promise regular walks and outdoor play. She relishes time outside, and she’s making progress with leash skills and confidence around cars—she never got much practice before. She’s working on housetraining too and does best with frequent outdoor breaks or quick yard access. At home, Cosette settles in well, sleeping soundly in her crate through the night and thriving on predictable routines. She’s gentle and loving with kids—her affectionate, sensitive side shines through in a family setting. She does best in homes without cats due to her prey drive. With other dogs, she prefers friendly males and needs patient introductions; she’s less comfortable with female dogs and likes her toys and food all to herself. Given her past, it’s understandable she’s protective of what’s hers. Cosette is resilient, loving, and just waiting for the right home—a patient family who’ll let her blossom into the loyal companion she’s meant to be. Her adoption fee covers spaying, a microchip, up-to-date vaccines, and parasite preventatives. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
