COSMO

Mixed Breed · Male

Cosmo, a magnificent male with a specific character. Our Cosmo came to the shelter with a broken collar around his neck and is very cautious about any actions involving himself. When he gains trust in people, he loves and shows it very clearly. Cosmo is not a dog for beginners, but experience is still needed because Cosmo has a traumatic past that explains his behavior and fear in certain situations. He loves his people at the Rescue and although he is a bit larger, he enjoys walks and running. For Cosmo we are looking for a home with a yard, where he would have time and space for his peace, we do not recommend him to beginners and children due to his fear and caution which could result in panic behavior from Cosmo. Cosmo also chooses canine company but only he knows according to which principle he chooses and why some please him and others not. Cosmo was born in 2017, tall about 50cm. Contact us for our Cosmo, to restore his trust in people and finally feel the warmth and security of home. Microchip number: 191100002027688.

HR·Show original

Cosmo, predivni mužjak sa specifičnim karakterom. Naš Cosmo je došao sa trgovima otrgnutog lanca oko vrata u sklonište i dosta je oprezan oko bilo kakvih radnji sa sobom. Kada stekne povjerenje u ljude, obožava i pokazuje to vrlo jasno. Cosmo nije pas za početnike, treba ipak imati iskustvo jer Cosmo iza sebe vuče traumatičnu prošlost koja objašnjava njegovo ponašanje i strah u nekim situacijama. Obožava svoje ljude u Spasu te iako je malo krupniji, voli šetnje i trčanje. Za Cosma tražimo dom sa dvorištem, gdje bi imao vremena i prostora za svoj mir, ne preporučamo ga početnicima i djeci radi njegovog straha i opreza koji može rezultirati paničnim ponašanjem od Cosma. Cosmo si također bira pseće društvo ali samo on zna po kojem principu to odabire i zašto mu se neki sviđaju a neki ne. Cosmo je rođen 2017 godine, visok cca 50cm. Javite se za našeg Cosma, da mu vratimo povjerenje u ljude i napokon osjeti toplinu i sigurnost doma. Broj mikročipa: 191100002027688.

About COSMO

What life with COSMO looks like

COSMO is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Udruga Spas Varaždin in Varaždin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇭🇷Adopting from Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

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. Udruga Spas Varaždin 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 — Udruga Spas Varaždin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Udruga Spas Varaždin 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 (HR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
