Cosmo's Story

Cosmo is a sweet little mixed breed with a gentle soul who is still learning to trust the world around him. Rescued from a severe hoarding situation alongside roughly 100 other dogs, and though he carries the weight of that experience, but his story is far from over.<br/><br/>Cosmo is fearful reactive and takes time to warm up to new people and environments. He will not immediately accept affection, and pushing his boundaries can cause him to shut down or defend himself. He needs an adopter who understands this and is willing to let him set the pace.<br/><br/>He is best suited for a calm, quiet household with no young children, and an experienced adopter who knows how to read canine body language and respect a shy dog's space. Given time and patience, Cosmo does have a sweet side that slowly comes out on his own terms.<br/><br/>If you have the experience and heart to give this special boy the peaceful home he deserves, we'd love to hear from you.

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue's Adoption Policy
We want to make adopting as seamless as possible while ensuring you and your new canine companion are a perfect match. 1. Discover Our Pups Explore our adoptable dogs online or visit us at a local community adoption event! Please note that we do not finalize adoptions at these events; we invite all potential adopters to submit an application before visiting our rescue for a personalized experience. 2. Submit Your Application Found a dog that catches your eye? Head to hlcr.org to submit an online application. Our current adoption fee is $225, which fully covers their spay/neuter surgery, microchip, deworming, vaccinations, and a comprehensive vet check. If multiple families are interested in the same pup, we will always let you know. 3. Schedule a Meet-and-Greet Once your application is reviewed, we will contact you to schedule a private visit to our rescue. To ensure harmony at home, we ask that you bring all human family members and any current dogs to this session. There is absolutely no pressure—take all the time you need to make sure it's a great fit. 4. Welcome Your New Best Friend Home! When you're ready to make it official, we will provide you with: Complete medical and behavioral history. Your dog’s microchip registration info (which we will help you transfer). A transitional bag of food to keep their tummy happy. > Travel Tip: We highly recommend keeping the car ride home quiet and secure by traveling with your new pup in a crate.
