About Cosmo

Cosmo is currently at Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center, where he's been learning to build his confidence through a special program. He’s a bit shy, so patience is key when getting to know him. Cosmo enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion to guide him. His adoption includes a complimentary 30-minute private training session to help him adjust to his new environment. If you want to meet Cosmo, be sure to bring your dog along so they can see if they click. He prefers a calm, familiar setting, especially around children; therefore, those aged 9 and younger should meet him first. For safety, he’ll need a martingale collar, which you can find at Wayside’s retail store. Let’s help Cosmo find the loving home he deserves! Click apply to start the adoption process.
