Cosma

Description

This 3-year-old Pitbull/Pointer mix is an energetic and inquisitive pup! At about 54 lbs, Cosma “sings” a little “OOOOoooOOO” instead of barking when she’s extra happy to see you.Cosma is house-trained, crate-trained, and currently thriving in apartment living with a solid potty routine of four-ish outings a day. She’s a quick learner who already knows how to sit and roll over, and she’s working on polishing her manners (mostly keeping those paws off the counter). She will require a fenced yard in her future home due to safety concerns.She loves staying busy—whether she’s people-watching through the window, squeaking a toy, or carefully hiding a treasured cheese bone. Cosma enjoys walks, chasing toys, and any food she can get her paws on, freeze-dried meat treats are a favorite! She can be a little unsure when meeting new people at first, but does well with a few treats and some patience. She lived with a male dog previously, but has been dog selective, so she is currently working with a trainer. Cosma will require a dog-free home for now. She hasn't met any cats or kids yet, so a proper introduction is recommended.Cosma is lightly vocal, quick to alert to hallway noises, and sometimes wary of people in bulky winter gear, but overall she’s a well-adjusted, loving dog. If you’re looking for a smart, expressive, food-motivated pup with a cosmic name and a heart of gold, Cosma might just be your perfect match.If you are interested in Cosma, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
