About this Dog
Your new pint-sized shadow and professional snuggler! Cosmo is a 5.5-year-old Chihuahua and King Cavalier Spaniel mix with a heart full of love and a perfectly portable 13-pound frame. This sweet little guy absolutely adores people and thrives when he’s near his humans—whether that means curling up next to you on the couch or bouncing around in a playful mood. Cosmo isn’t a fan of leash walks, so he’s hoping for a home with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors on his own terms. He gets along just fine with other small dogs, but big dogs aren’t really his vibe—he prefers a gentler crowd. Cosmo wears a belly band in the house, as he occasionally still marks—something that's easily managed and may continue to improve with routine and consistency. Truth be told, Cosmo would be perfectly content as your one and only—he’s all about the one-on-one companionship and would happily soak up all the love and attention for himself. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate buddy who’s happiest by your side, Cosmo might be your perfect match. Apply to meet him today—he’s ready to be your little forever friend! The adoption fee of $250 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. If you are interested in adopting Preston and Cheeko as a bonded pair please let us know! IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Adopt Cosmo and Receive Cosmo's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Cosmo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Cosmo's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Cosmo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Cosmo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Cosmo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Cosmo’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Cosmo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Cosmo’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
