Cosmo

My story

Cosmo is a great example of why people love Schnauzers! Cosmo is 3 years old (such a great age..young enough to be a sponge that soaks up new information with a strong desire to please while being old enough to be past his babyish behaviors) and a perfect 33 lbs. This irresistible guy is a great medium size to accompany his family everywhere a well-behaved dog is welcome. He is a very sweet and loving guy. Cosmo is believed to be a Standard Schnauzer. We do not DNA test our rescue dogs, but he does have a cropped tail which makes us suspect that he could be a purebred. Of course we just cannot say for sure. Cosmo has a spirit about him that caught the attention of a compassionate Texas rescuer. She saved him from certain euthanasia at a scary high-kill shelter due to a lack of space, and fell in love with his sweetness and kind nature. She knew that Cosmo would be a natural companion for a Colorado family. While initially a bit shy, with some yummy treats and kindness, he absolutely blossoms. Cosmo's joy at spending time with kind and supportive dog-lovers is a joy to watch. He's filled with nothing but good-will and shares it with them 1000%. Since being released from the shelter, Cosmo has been enjoying backyard play, learning about leash skills and at day's end snuggling close. Farfel's Rescue feels that Cosmo would be a wonderful best friend for active dog-crazy retirees or a younger couple or individual that enjoys including a sweet fuzzy guy in their activities. Cosmo would be overjoyed with the time spent and togetherness, becoming a loyal best friend and a very important member of the family. Cosmo will also thrive with a family with dog-loving older kids who enjoy fun activities with their pup. They would be able to participate in positive reinforcement group training classes to teach Cosmo the skills to be able to accompany his family out in the community with excellent behavior. Farfel's will provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force free trainers in your area. Cosmo can be relied on, once confident in his surroundings, to share his love and best behavior with his humans. He is a devoted best friend who wants nothing more than to share time, play and learning new skills with a kind and committed family. We feel that a full-time workday outside of the home for his family won't work for Cosmo. He thrives on family-time and being at home alone while his people work full-time isn't in the best interest of this devoted companion. Cosmo will be very in-sync with a family that includes him in dog-friendly adventures, backyard fun, exploring the Colorado mountains or window shopping on Pearl Street to learn urban skills is perfect for Cosmo. A walk around the neighborhood socializing with neighbors would be an excellent way for this people-friendly pup to fine-tune his social as well as leash skills. Cosmo has a stunning and cottony-soft coat (appears to be non-shedding but we'll never swear to it) that will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming (approximately every 8 - 10 weeks) and great nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are recommended for general longevity and coat care). With this regimen, Cosmos coat will always be cottony-soft, shining and gorgeous with excellent health. Cosmo is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet, silly and absolutely wonderful best friend. Adoption apps can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Cosmo please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cosmo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
