My name is Cosmo!

We took Cosmo as a foster puppy when he was less than 10 weeks old. He had been left a local vet's office with fishhooks stuck in his feet. They had nicknamed him Fish, so we still often call him Cosmo Fish. He is about 9-10 months old right now. He is a ball of energy and is really too much for us to handle with our 2 other dogs and 4 kiddos at home. He is great with kids but does get a little too excited and will knock down smaller kids and sometimes tries to jump up on people. He gets along great with other dogs. He is also starting to show that he's a guardian breed and barks for attention, or protection of his territory, when people walk by and he's in the yard.

Unfortunately, he is just too much for us. We cannot give him the time, attention, and exercise he needs with the kids and other dogs at home. We did not witness this, but our neighbor also reported that he jumped our shared 3 foot fence and jumped up on him unexpectedly and has asked us to rehome Cosmo.
