Cosimo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

In the LIDA, there is no respite again. Almost daily, there are appeals from tourists and found puppies. Shepherds or private individuals bring their unwanted puppies or kittens to Rifugio. Quarantine areas, enclosures, or cages: everything is packed to the brim. But to deny help to a small creature: that is not an option. And so, we also try to help by featuring some of the new arrivals on our website. Like these six siblings, Cannella, Cardo, Carmen, Charlie, Cosimo, and Cristoforo. The two girls and four boys are from the Industrial Zone. Either they were abandoned there, or one of the wild stray females, which they cannot catch, gave birth to them there. Unfortunately, we do not know. Cannella, Cardo, Carmen, Charlie, Cosimo, and Cristoforo are now, at least, in safety and are being reared. And through us, they get the chance to find a good home. It would be good if they could leave the Rifugio as soon as the travel regulations allow, so they can spend part of their puppy and imprinting phase in their permanent home. Maybe you would like to take one of these magical, lovable puppy children into your family? August 23, 2024: Two of our team members made a spontaneous trip to Sardinia in mid-August to personally meet and photograph our shelter dogs. They also visited Cannella, Cardo, Carmen, Charlie, Cosimo, and Cristoforo, who share an enclosure with another 12 puppies (all of whom are our shelter dogs). It is very sad that they still have not found families and must spend their childhood behind bars. The six siblings were very happy about the visit and wanted to be cuddled and stroked all at once. The commotion was very large, and four hands were clearly not enough :-). Despite their grim life in the Canile, they have developed well, and it was nice to see how open they were. We hope they will soon find their own families and be allowed to travel to Germany. September 12, 2025: A team member and her daughter sacrificed some of their vacation time to personally meet or see some of the shelter dogs. It was current to learn how the dogs have developed—among them, the charming Cosimo. Cosimo is a friendly and very pleasant dog with a rather laid-back nature. He seeks out contact with people, enjoys every pat, and shows his clingy, affectionate nature. A great guy who is only waiting to make his own family happy and finally receive the affection he so generously gives. Would you like to give Cosimo a loving home? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption brings not only great joy but also a lot of work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We provide support throughout Germany.

In der LIDA gibt es wieder mal keine Verschnaufpause. Fast täglich gibt es Hilferufe von Touristen und Fundtiere. Schäfer oder Privatleute bringen ihre unerwünschten Welpen oder Kitten zum Rifugio. Quarantänebereiche, Gehege oder Käfige: Alles ist proppenvoll. Aber einem kleinen Wesen die Hilfe versagen: Das ist keine Option.Und so versuchen auch wir zu helfen, indem wir einige der Neuzugänge auf unserer Webseite vorstellen. Wie jetzt diese sechs Geschwisterchen Cannella, Cardo, Carmen, Charlie, Cosimo und Cristoforo. Die beiden Mädchen und vier Buben stammen aus der Zona Industriale. Entweder hat man sie dort ausgesetzt, oder eine der wilden Streunerinnen, derer man nicht habhaft werden kann, hat sie dort zur Welt gebracht. Das wissen wir leider nicht.Cannella, Cardo, Carmen, Charlie, Cosimo und Cristoforo sind nun jedenfalls in Sicherheit und werden aufgepäppelt. Und durch uns bekommen sie die Chance, ein gutes Zuhause zu finden. Es wäre gut, wenn sie so schnell wie es die Reisevorgaben erlauben, das Rifugio hinter sich lassen könnten, damit sie noch einen Teil ihrer Welpen- und Prägephase schon im endgültigen Zuhause verbringen können.Vielleicht möchten Sie eines der zauberhaften, liebenswerten Hundekinder in Ihre Familie aufnehmen?23. August 2024 Zwei unserer Teamkolleginnen machten sich Mitte August spontan auf den Weg nach Sardinien, um unsere Schützlinge persönlich kennenzulernen und zu fotografieren.Sie besuchten auch Cannella, Cardo, Carmen, Charlie, Cosimo und Cristoforo, die sich mit weiteren 12 Hundekindern (allesamt unsere Schützlinge) ein Gehege teilen. Es ist sehr traurig, dass sie immer noch keine Familien gefunden haben und ihre Kindheit hinter Gittern verbringen müssen.Die sechs Geschwister haben sich sehr über den Besuch gefreut und wollten am liebsten alle gleichzeitig gekuschelt und gestreichelt werden. Das Gewusel war sehr groß und vier Hände natürlich viel zu wenig :-)Trotz des tristen Lebens im Canile haben sie sich toll entwickelt und es war schön zu sehen, wie aufgeschlossen sie waren. Wir hoffen sehr, dass sie bald ihre eigenen Familien finden und nach Deutschland reisen dürfen. 12. September 2025: Eine Teamkollegin und ihre Tochter opferten einen Teil ihrer Urlaubszeit, um einige der Schützlinge persönlich kennenzulernen bzw. wiederzusehen. So konnte man ganz aktuell erfahren, wie sich die Hunde entwickelt haben - unter anderem auch der charmante Cosimo.Cosimo ist ein freundlicher und sehr angenehmer Hund mit einem eher gemütlichen Wesen. Er sucht von sich aus den Kontakt zu Menschen, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und zeigt dabei seine anhängliche, liebevolle Art.Ein toller Kerl, der nur darauf wartet, seine eigene Familie glücklich zu machen und endlich all die Zuneigung zu bekommen, die er selbst so großzügig verschenkt.Möchten Sie Cosimo ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken? Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur sehr viel Freude bereitet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht.Wir vermitteln bundesweit.Ihr Ansprechpartner für diese

About Cosimo

What life with Cosimo looks like

Cosimo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cosimo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cosimo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ProTier e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cosimo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cosimo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ProTier e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Cosimo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Cosimo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with ProTier e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cosimo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
