Cosmo Peachlocks is one of several dogs who came to Lollypop Farm together and is now looking for a perfect home to start his next chapter in life. In fact, we're pretty sure he's crossing his paws that home might be yours.

For Cosmo Peachlocks the world and everything in it is still brand new and sometimes even a bit overwhelming. That includes new people, so be prepared to go slow, let him set the pace, and be waiting with soft praise and tasty treats to reward every step. The old saying that good things come to those who wait is true when it comes to Cosmo. When he finally offers you his love and trust, and welcomes - even asks for - your touch, you're going to feel on top of the world.

We think Cosmo Peachlocks will do best in a quieter home with either adults only or older children who are able to let him settle in without the enthusiastic attention younger children are generally eager to show a new pet. A fenced yard would be great, giving him a safe space to hang out with the family and take everything in, joining the fun when he's ready.

In his previous home Cosmo lived with lots of other dogs and felt very comfortable with them. In fact, if you already have a dog at home that's a big plus, because a canine companion will be a good confidence builder. Your counselor can give you guidance on how to introduce them. Once they become comfortable together, your dog will help Cosmo get used to his new home and family, and even help him learn the simple pleasure of walking on a leash by demonstrating how it's done and why it's fun.

There were no cats in Cosmo's previous home, but his housemates who've gone to their new homes have done well with their new cat siblings. If you have a cat or several, your counselor can give you great tips for handling inter-species intros once you're home.

Before he goes home we'll do a meet'n'greet with the whole family here at the shelter to make sure everyone's starting off on the right foot. And once you're all home together, we'll be here to cheer you on and answer any questions as you help Cosmo learn the joys of a home and family of his own.

So come on out to see us! Cosmo Peachlocks and all our other available dogs would love to meet you.
