Puppy · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 66 mi from Syracuse

5. Cosmo

Puppy (3 months 9 days) · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 66 mi from Syracuse

Brindle boy Cosmo is ready for his forever family!

At just over 3 months old and a solid 25ishlbs, he’s that perfect mix of goofy and sweet. He definitely has that funny, bouncy puppy energy—he loves wrestling and playtime—but his favorite thing to do is crash right on top of you for a long nap.

He’s doing great with his puppy basics in his Upstate NY foster home, working on potty training, crate time, and leash manners. Cosmo is going to make an awesome, loyal sidekick for a very lucky family.

Adopting a puppy in Syracuse

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
