🐾 Meet Kosmo: Your Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold! 🐾
Are you ready to welcome 123 pounds of pure love into your life? Say hello to Kosmo, the four-year-old gentle giant who’s here to melt your heart and maybe raid your fridge. With Kosmo by your side, you'll have a loyal companion who’s equal parts goofy and gentle.
Kosmo's Cool Credentials:
* Gentle Giant: At 123 pounds, Kosmo is a whole lot of love wrapped in fur. He’s a big boy with an even bigger heart.
* Medical Marvel: Kosmo has had seizures, and is currently on medication to reduce the frequency of these episodes. He’s a champ at taking his meds, especially when they're disguised as gourmet "meatballs" with grated cheese.
* Leash Pro: Kosmo walks gently on a leash. He might amble a bit—he’s probably still getting the hang of it—but he’s a polite walker.
* House Trained & Well Mannered: No accidents here! Kosmo is house trained and knows his manners, though he does have a penchant for checking the fridge, freezer, and ice cube maker. (He’s just making sure everything is safe for you, of course.)
* Treat Taker Extraordinaire: Kosmo takes treats gently and will even sit and give you his paw. He’s all about those belly rubs and back scratches too.
* Calm Companion: Give him time and he’ll settle in, ready to relax with you.
* Car Enthusiast: Kosmo loves car rides! Sometimes he enjoys them so much he might not want to get out. A snack usually does the trick.
* Quiet but Mighty: Kosmo doesn’t bark often, but when he does, you’ll know it.
*Friend to all: He’s good with dogs of all sizes, kids, and cats, too.
* Pup Cup Connoisseur: Kosmo has a taste for the finer things, like pup cups and chicken. Treat him to one of these, and you’ll be his favorite person.
Ready to add a giant dose of love and laughter to your life? Kosmo is waiting to be your gentle giant and loyal companion. Come meet him today, and prepare for the best protection detail and fridge inspection services around! 🐶❤️

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
