VIDEO: Humane Society's Pet Of The Week

A 4-year-old Chihuahua is available for adoption at the Connecticut Humane Society in Newington.

Members of the Connecticut Humane Society hope that someone will fall in love with the "handsome pup" Cosmo and take him home.

"Cosmo is an absolute love. When I take him for walks, we spend part of the time with him resting his head in my hand while I pet him," according to one of volunteers at the Connecticut Humane Society. "He just sits there looking up at me and soaking up every bit of attention that he can."

Cosmo is a 4-year-old Chihuahua who enjoys the company of children older than eight, cats and dogs. He can live in any type of housing, included apartments.
