Sometimes, good things happen even out of sad things. Such is the case with me. I am Cosmo, a stunning two-year-old Golden Retriever/Flat Coat Retriever mix. I waited a long time for the right family and finally found it – offering a life I never even dreamed of living near the coast in Northern California. And then, something unexpected happened: my new mom was highly allergic to me. My family had to return me with tears in their eyes and all three of us with broken hearts. But here is the good that came from our heartbreak: We learned that I have excellent house manners. That, while I have no formal training, I am a good listener and quick learner. That I bond quickly and deeply to my people. And while I am an athletic boy who needs daily exercise, I can settle, too, and enjoy quiet company.

What was known about me remains true: I am choosy about my dog friends (girls preferred!). With the right introduction, I might find other canine friends, but I would prefer to live as your one and only pup. I grew up in a pack of brothers and sisters, and I prefer not to share my toys anymore. More importantly, I thrive when I have your full love and attention. I am probably not a fan of cats, but I think kids 13+ would be great members of our pack.

I have had a taste of what it means to be loved and to live as a full member of the family. Now, I can’t wait to find it again…and forever. Is it with you?
