My story

All About Me Name: Cosmo Age: 8-9 months old Gender: Male Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Mini poodle Colour: Black Weight: 5kg / 11lb Microchipped: Yes   My Health Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) I’ve been neutered and have no known health issues.   MY RESCUE STORY Hi there! I’m Cosmo—a brave little soul with a big heart and an even bigger story. I was rescued from a puppy mill, where I had been left tied up and neglected in the freezing winter. I was just 3 to 4 months old and in critical condition, fighting for my life. But thanks to the kindness and quick action of compassionate rescuers, I was given a second chance.   Today, I’m healthy, full of hope, and ready to start a brand-new chapter. I may have had a rough start, but I’ve never stopped believing that love is out there—and I can’t wait to find a forever family to call my own.   MY PERSONALITY Just like my name, I’m full of sparkle and joy! Life didn’t start easy for me, but you’d never guess it from how much I love people and pups. I’m a bubbly, friendly guy who greets everyone like a longtime friend, with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. I adore making new dog friends, playing, and soaking up attention from humans—snuggles and kisses are my specialty! I’ve been told I light up every room I enter, and I think they’re right. I’m just looking for a forever family to orbit around with all the love I’ve got to give.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS - With People: I’m great with people—everyone I meet is a new friend in my eyes! I love greeting strangers with a happy wag and soaking up all the pets I can get. I trust easily and have a gentle, open heart that makes connecting with others feel effortless. I’m also wonderful with kids and don’t mind being scooped up for snuggles—it's one of my favorite things!   When it comes to food or toys, I’m all about sharing. I don’t guard my things because I believe love (and treats!) are meant to be shared. With me, you’ll always have a loyal, affectionate companion who just wants to be by your side.   - With Dogs:  I’m also great with other dogs! I love meeting new furry friends and enjoy playtime with pups of all sizes. I’m a total peacemaker at heart—if another dog gets a little pushy, I’d rather walk away than stir up any drama. I just want everyone to get along and have fun! I also don’t guard my food around other dogs—there’s no need for fuss when sharing and kindness come naturally to me.   - With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, but with a slow and thoughtful introduction, I think I could learn to live peacefully with a feline friend.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I’m a high-energy pup who loves to stay active! I thrive on playtime, walks, and outdoor fun—and once I’ve had a chance to burn off that energy, I’m happy to settle down and relax calmly at home by your side.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m still brushing up on my leash skills, but I’m getting better every day with a little guidance and patience. I’m a curious explorer at heart, so I tend to pull when something interesting catches my nose—there’s just so much to see and sniff! Sudden noises or fast movements can startle me, and when I’m scared, I might try to hide or run. That’s why I’ll need a secure leash and a martingale collar to keep me safe on our adventures. I feel most comfortable in calm, quiet environments where I can take things at my own pace.   When it comes to potty time, I know how to go both indoors and outdoors. I might need a bit of guidance while I adjust to a new space, but I’m eager to learn. I’m also working on settling quietly in my kennel—it’s a work in progress, but I’m making strides every day. With consistency, love, and a little patience, I know I’ll continue growing into the calm, confident companion I’m meant to be.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with:   - A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. - A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. - A family that can shower me with love and attention. - A family who understands that, because of my rough start, I may be a little unsure at times—and is committed to guiding me with patience, love, and continued training as I grow into a confident and well-adjusted adult.   SPECIAL NOTES The volunteers and staff always say I’m a smart boy—I learn quickly and love discovering new things! With gentle guidance, consistency, and love, I know I’ll grow into a wonderful, well-mannered adult. Because of my difficult past, I may need a little extra patience as I learn the world is a safe and loving place. I’m naturally friendly with both people and other dogs, and I open up quickly, with so much potential inside me. Like any growing puppy, I can be a bit wiggly and energetic at times, but with the right support, I’ll happily become your loyal little shadow, always by your side.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!
