About Cosmo

Cosmo is a charming baby Border Collie who excels during walks. He’s mastered the "heel" command and walks by your side like a pro. His playful spirit shines through as he enjoys games of tag with his foster siblings, a peekapoo and a havanese. While he’s warming up to little dogs, he approaches bigger dogs with a bark, showing his need for some extra trust-building. Cosmo is fully crate trained and potty trained, signaling you with a squeak or bark when he needs to go out. He loves his grooming sessions, often relaxing during nail trims. This affectionate pup thrives on physical touch, and he simply adores cuddling close to his human. He’s also an excellent running companion, having completed 2 miles effortlessly. Gentle around children of various ages, Cosmo isn’t fazed by loud noises like lawnmowers or thunderstorms, which adds to his laid-back charm. Playing calming music while he’s in the car or alone helps him relax. Cosmo is eager to learn and aims to make his future family proud. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
