My story

Original intake 1/29/22Your new pint-sized shadow and professional snuggler! Cosmo is a 5.5-year-old Chihuahua and King Cavalier Spaniel mix with a heart full of love and a perfectly portable 13-pound frame. This sweet little guy absolutely adores people and thrives when he’s near his humans—whether that means curling up next to you on the couch or bouncing around in a playful mood. Cosmo isn’t a fan of leash walks, so he’s hoping for a home with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors on his own terms. He gets along just fine with other small dogs, but big dogs aren’t really his vibe—he prefers a gentler crowd. Cosmo wears a belly band in the house, as he occasionally still marks—something that's easily managed and may continue to improve with routine and consistency. Truth be told, Cosmo would be perfectly content as your one and only—he’s all about the one-on-one companionship and would happily soak up all the love and attention for himself. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate buddy who’s happiest by your side, Cosmo might be your perfect match. Apply to meet him today—he’s ready to be your little forever friend! The adoption fee of $250 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. If you are interested in adopting Preston and Cheeko as a bonded pair please let us know! IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 16, 2025, 4:55 pm

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.
