My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, pals! The name's Cosmo, and boy, do I have a tail to wag for ya! Picture this: a snow white poochie with teefers so cute, they could melt even the iciest heart. Yep, that's me!

Now, let me tell you a bit about my journey. I started off as a wanderer, just me and the open road. But then, life took a turn, and I found myself in one of those not-so-friendly places they call a kill shelter. Yikes, right? But hey, I'm not one to let the ruff stuff get me down!

See, despite the tough breaks, I'm all about spreading joy and love. I mean, who wouldn't be happy with a tail that wags like a windshield wiper in a storm? I'm a social butterfly, folks! I love other dogs, and I'm always up for a game of fetch or a cozy snuggle session. I love rolling in the grass on my back and getting belly rubs from my people. Into dog parks? ME TOO!

I LOVE hanging out with furry pals and doing “dog stuff”. I’m the kind of pooch that would love a doggie day care too! I’ve never met a stranger and despite being where I am and currently homeless, I’m always looking on the bright side and smiling!

But here's the thing, pals: I'm ready to trade these Georgia shelter walls for a cozy home up in Wisconsin and officially be "Homeward Bound." Can you blame a pup for dreaming big? So, if you're looking for a furry friend with a heart of GOLD and a smile that lights up the room, look no further 'cause I'm your guy!

I HOPE someone will pick me to come to Wisconsin. I’m the best boy (that’s what the people here tell me!). Kennels are filling up fast here at the shelter and soon I may have to give mine up. I hear something about being “out of time”?

FEE INCLUDES: Adopting an adult dog (6 months or older) includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, deworming, flea & tick prevention, heartworm testing, and microchipping.

For dogs under 6 months, they receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick prevention, and microchipping. All dogs are spayed/neutered by 6 months, covered within the adoption fee. The procedure must be done at one of our partner clinics.

To begin the adoption process, please submit an application on our website: www.hbwi.org/adopt. Once approved, you'll have the opportunity to meet our available dogs. Following the meeting, you can initiate a 5-day Adoption Trial, allowing you to take the dog home. This trial period is designed to ensure the dog is a match for you and aligns with your lifestyle. After the 5-day trial, if all goes well, the adoption will be finalized. Additionally, we require a home visit once the dog is settled in its new home to ensure a smooth transition for both the dog and the adopter.
