Let me introduce you to this little cutie pie. Cosmo is approximately 4 months old and about 30 pounds. (I got a feeling he will be a big boy). He can be a little shy/unsure when he first meets someone, but who doesn’t get a little nervous when meeting new people? Once he feels comfortable and gets to know you, then watch out, because he becomes a wonderful and loving pup and will come to you for love and attention. All he needs is a family who is willing to give him a little time, love and patience and then watch this boy blossom into the sweet boy he is. Cosmo is house broken and does very well with free rein 24/7 with his foster sibling even when the folks are gone. His favorite place to sleep is under the bed.  (He is going to be so disappointed when he gets too big to go under it ).  He loves to play with his toys and his foster fur bud, Casey. He enjoys going for walks, exploring the great outdoors and getting in the water.  He might be a water dog in the making. He will sometimes pick up his water and food bowls and tote them around. Even with his puppy nature, he is not as mouthy as a lot of pups are. Cosmo is a smart boy and is already learning some of his basic commands which he  normally picks up in a few tries. He is food motivated so that is always a bonus.  He will need someone who will continue with his training so he can continue to grow into the amazing pup he is. He does well with other dogs and even though he hasn’t been around them, I believe he would do okay with dog-savvy cats. Cosmo would love to have a family who understands that he is a bit shy and needs a little time to know he is safe. He needs someone who is willing to give him just a little time, love and patience. Believe me, it is so worth it!!! You couldn’t ask for a more loyal companion. He will need a companion pup and a fenced yard. So, do you think this adorable pup might be the one for you? If so, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, then please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. Cosmo is being fostered outside of Charlotte.
