About Chester

Chester and his brother Cooper are a set—two purebred Great Pyrenees who refuse to go anywhere without the other. They’re young, but already carry that laid-back, dignified energy the breed is known for. Chester has a gift for napping in any sunbeam he finds, while Cooper watches the world with an eye for anything interesting. These dogs were bred for mountain life, and their instincts show: both are born guardians who think nothing of staking out a yard for hours, spotting every bird and squirrel. Despite their stately appearance, Chester and Cooper are true goofballs at heart. They dote on people, soak up attention, and have made couch-surfing into an art form. Their independence means they’re expert escape artists, so a tall, secure fence is required—these boys will absolutely test boundaries, literally and figuratively. They must be adopted together, and experience with Great Pyrenees or a commitment to learning the breed’s quirks is strongly recommended. In the right home—big yard, lots of room, maybe a bit of open land—they’ll be loyally by your side. Chester and Cooper are neutered, vaccinated, social, and more than ready to trade shelter life for a place that finally feels permanent. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
