Cosmo

MALE | BORN APPROX JULY 2022 | SHEPHERD X

LOCATED IN AUCKLAND

Hi, I’m Cosmo. I’m a very loyal 2-year-old shepherd cross, living with my foster family, in Auckland.  

I’m a guy that’s happy in his own company.  

I LOVE my walks but when my foster dad is at work, I’m a good boy. I’m quite happy just chilling out in the yard.  

And when he gets home, I’m always up for some fun!  

I’ll just go grab my ball or rope toy. 

I’m even quite happy playing with it on my own – running round with it on the deck – woohoo! 

I’m a giant pup who loves exploring and going on adventures.  

Play fetch with me and I’m the happiest man alive! 

My foster dad thinks a quieter home for me would be best – a place without too many comings and goings. 

When visitors come, I’ll might growl a little – just to say I’m feeling a bit worried.  

My foster dad understands. You see, when I was very young, and first rescued, I contracted parvovirus, so I missed out on meeting lots of new humans.  

It takes me a little while to learn to trust new people, but with the right introductions, I’m fabulous with them… and I’ve come a very long way! 

I’d be fine in a home with dog savvy kids. I’ve lived with children previously and we were great friends. They were always respectful of me. 

My foster dad keeps me out and about socialising, so I’m building my confidence every day.  

I’ll probably always feel a little overwhelmed in crowded places full of people though. 

My foster dad thinks I’d be fine living as a solo doggy.  

I’d also be fine with a calmer older dog too. That might help me settle in well and build more confidence, seeing a sibling meet new people.  

I’d be best in a feline-free home. I’ve met a few cats round the place and I’m not really a fan. 

I’m certainly a boy that bonds strongly with my human though.  

I’m super affectionate with my foster dad. I’ll climb up on the couch with him at night and cuddle in, licking his face.  

When I’m wanting to play, I’ll look up at him with my head tilted or do a play bow.  

And when I see him coming towards me, I get SO excited I’ll do a little dance – stomping my paws back and forth! 

I’m really loving life and I’m very excited bout what the future holds for me. 

So, if you’re looking for a playful loving and very loyal friend – grateful for even the smallest of things – I hope you’ll pick me!
