Meet Cosmo! This handsome brown Newfoundland started his life on a chain in a back-yard without any interaction with other dogs or people. Thankfully, he was surrendered and can finally learn how to be a dog.
Cosmo is very eager to please his people, but he is still quite scared of strangers. His foster mom notes that with encouragement, strong leadership and praise he warms up quickly... and treats always help!
Cosmo has already learned to walk nicely on his leash, and even responds to commands. For example, if you stop during the walk Cosmo will look to you for guidance on how to proceed. He is such a smart boy that he has also learned "sit", "down", and is working on "stay". Cosmo has been crate trained, and sleeps through the night without any accidents! What a good boy he is!
His ideal forever home would be a large yard to run and play in, preferred with an older female dog who can help guide him to continuing to become a confident and wonderful dog. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, he must be in a home with a fully-fenced in yard without small animals or small children. Cosmo does not yet realize his size, so an owner with knowledge of large-breed dogs, patience, and lots of love to give will be best for him.
Cosmo was recently neutered, and is microchipped and fully updated on his vaccines. If you think you're a match for this beautiful boy- don't wait! Apply today!

We are in Rochester, NY, we adopt to people who live in the Rochester area. We do not ship our dogs and require home visits. Must live in area to adopt, will not respond to out of area/country requests. Additionally we require physically fenced yard for dog/pup to play in safely. Exceptions are sometimes made to this requirement but is up to the foster and more often done for the small breed dogs.
All our dogs have been treated with de-wormer; heartworm tested (if age appropriate -7 months or older); treated for fleas/ticks; microchipped; and examined by veterinarian plus given age appropriate vaccinations. We take every effort to ensure the health of the animal and you will receive a copy of all vet work performed at time of adoption. Dogs will be spayed/neutered thru us prior to finalizing any adoption.
We provide information on dogs age and breed based on what we are told by person surrendering dog or vet's best guess. While we try our best we cannot guarantee that this information is 100% accurate and can often be best guess in case of our lovable mutts.
