About Chester

Chester was found abandoned with his five siblings in a rough patch along the roadside in Mississippi. Arriving in rough shape, he’d endured starvation, a cracked leg, and a persistent case of mange. Once safe, he bounced back quickly—good care and some food helped him heal, and now he’s left his medical past behind. Chester has a cast on his leg in some photos, but these days, you’d hardly know he ever needed it. He’s a gentle, sweet-natured dog who flourished in foster care, learning how to trust and finding the pleasure in cuddling up with people. Chester gets along well with other dogs and shines around children. He’s house trained, vaccinated, and neutered. One thing to note: Chester does not get along with cats. He’s had a hard start but deserves an adopter ready to pamper and adore him. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
