adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Cosmo has found a home! His story: Listen up, here comes Cosmo! A sweet little puppy boy who, despite a tough start in life, hasn't lost his trust in humans. Together with his mother Ria and his siblings Lotta, Knuffi, Booster, Yoomee, and Pepsi, he was rescued from Pata – a place on the edge of Cluj's landfill, where survival for puppies is a daily battle. The little ones were constantly separated from their mother and were in constant danger of getting lost on the vast grounds. To save their lives, the whole family had to move to Fantanele, from where now Cosmo is searching for his ticket to happiness. Cosmo is a real optical highlight: He is charming with his predominantly white fur, which is complemented perfectly by a mysterious mask in black-brown and cute pink spots on his nose. As his mother Ria is a rather small (terrier) mix, we assume that Cosmo will grow to be small to medium-sized when fully grown. Character-wise, he is simply enchanting: Despite his sad start, he approaches people joyfully, wants to climb right into their arms, and generously gives kisses. With other dogs, he gets along puppy-style perfectly; a test with cats has not yet taken place. Whoever decides on Cosmo gets a loyal companion who, however, is still at the very beginning of his learning process. During puppyhood, he needs people who patiently and lovingly teach him the basics of being a dog. One should be aware that after the cute puppy phase, puberty follows. During this time, boundaries are often tested anew, and the brain is like a "construction site" – here, consistency, patience, and a portion of humor are the keys to success. By now, a visit to dog training classes would be a good idea. Cosmo travels microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas to his new home. He also has his EU pet passport in his luggage. But also a foster home would be a good start. Who gives this little heart on four legs the security and the loving guidance he needs for a happy dog life? Many thanks to Kirsten K., who gave Cosmo his awesome name and thus gave him an identity. As of: 15.02.

Seine Geschichte: Aufgepasst, hier kommt Cosmo! Ein zuckersüßer Hundejunge, der trotz eines schwierigen Starts ins Leben sein Vertrauen in uns Menschen nicht verloren hat. Gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter Ria und seinen Geschwistern Lotta, Knuffi, Booster, Yoomee und Pepsi wurde er aus Pata gerettet – einem Ort am Rande der Mülldeponie von Cluj, an dem das Überleben für Welpen ein täglicher Kampf ist. Immer wieder wurden die Kleinen dort von ihrer Mutter getrennt und waren ständig in Gefahr, sich in den Weiten des Geländes zu verlieren. Um ihr Leben zu retten, durfte die ganze Familie nach Fantanele umziehen, von wo aus Cosmo nun sein Ticket ins Glück sucht. Cosmo ist ein echtes optisches Highlight: Er besticht durch sein überwiegend weißes Fell, das von einer geheimnisvollen Maske in Schwarz-Braun und niedlichen rosa Sprenkeln auf seiner Nase perfekt ergänzt wird. Da seine Mutter Ria ein eher kleiner (Terrier-)Mix ist, schätzen wir, dass auch Cosmo ausgewachsen kleiner bis mittelgroß werden wird. Charakterlich ist er einfach nur bezaubernd: Trotz seines traurigen Starts kommt er freudig auf Menschen zu, möchte am liebsten direkt in die Arme klettern und verteilt großzügig Küsschen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich welpentypisch bestens; ein Test mit Katzen fand bisher noch nicht statt. Wer sich für Cosmo entscheidet, bekommt einen treuen Begleiter, der jedoch noch ganz am Anfang seines Lernprozesses steht. In der Welpenzeit braucht er Menschen, die ihm geduldig und liebevoll das Hunde-Einmaleins beibringen. Man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass nach der süßen Welpenphase die Pubertät folgt. In dieser Zeit werden Grenzen gerne neu ausgetestet und das Gehirn gleicht einer „Baustelle“ – hier sind Beständigkeit, Geduld und eine Portion Humor der Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Spätestens jetzt wäre der Besuch einer Hundeschule eine gute Idee. Cosmo reist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht in sein neues Zuhause. Auch seinen EU-Heimtierausweis hat er im Gepäck. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann er gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro vermittelt werden. Aber auch eine Pflegestelle wäre ein guter Anfang. Wer schenkt diesem kleinen Herz auf vier Pfoten die Sicherheit und die liebevolle Führung, die er für ein glückliches Hundeleben braucht? Vielen Dank Kirsten K., Du hast Cosmo seinen tollen Namen geschenkt und ihm damit eine Identität gegeben. Stand: 15.02.2026

About Cosmo

What life with Cosmo looks like

Cosmo is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Cosmo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cosmo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cosmo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cosmo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Cosmo 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 Cosmo 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cosmo 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.
