Chester is a 3-and-a-half-year-old mixed breed with Terrier and Australian Shepherd roots. In foster care since he was just four months old, he's learned a lot, but is still searching for a patient family who understands he needs time to warm up. Chester's a nervous guy who would do best in a quiet home, ideally with a securely fenced yard he can explore safely. He gets along well with other dogs and would thrive alongside a confident canine companion to help show him the ropes. Chester is looking for people who let him adjust on his own timeline, without a lot of commotion or pressure. He's a loyal, gentle soul once he trusts you, and his playful side definitely comes out around other pups. Born on November 17, this Scorpio brings a deep loyalty and a streak of sensitivity to his new family. Chester is neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations. He’s waiting in Joliet, IL, hoping for a home that feels steady and safe. Start your journey together! Apply now.
