Cosmo Schnauzer Monroe, NC

Meet Cosmo! This beautiful boy is searching for his forever home. He does beautifully in his foster home and with his family--sweet and affectionate, fun-loving and very bright and responsive to training. However, he struggles with overreactions too much in his active family's day-to-day life such as lots of neighbors, visiting children in and out of the house, dogs on walks, workers/construction, etc. The ideal home for Cosmo would be a home with a quieter atmosphere. Cosmo would feel much happier, safer, and more relaxed with a quieter more predictable life. He really is a great catch for the right person!

We are happy to answer any questions and talk through to determine if Cosmo would be a good fit for you and your family.

Particulars to know:

-Cosmo is a neutered male, 43 lbs, 11 mos old. Wiry & slightly shaggy coat; very low shed.

- Housetrained and knows lots of behaviors such as sit, down, wait at doors, touch, Drop it, Leave it, loose leash walking (tho still wants to chase critters). Strong recall/come when called. Seeing and calmly passing other dogs is a work in progress

- Loves to sniff, explore, forage. Would LOVE to see him doing scentwork!

- Fenced yard required

- Great with the family girls, ages 6 & 9. However, other children-friends, neighbors, etc- are stressful for him. He becomes guarded and worried, and Mom is only comfortable if he is gated when kids are over. So a quieter home with few visitors is better for him

- Cosmo will go to his new home with all the things that make him comfortable-- bed, crate, harness, toys, bowls, food and more

- Used to play beautifully with other dogs but now gets reactive and overaroused. There's a chance this may change in time with some work but also possible he is a dog that prefers people over dogs.

- Best if he's an only dog or resident dog is calm and easygoing
