Chester is cautious with strangers, thanks to a rough past that left him with badly injured paws. It takes him time to get comfortable with new people, so patience is a must. At the shelter in Ocala, FL, Chester has become a favorite among staff and volunteers—he enjoys playtime and never turns down a cuddle once he trusts you. He’s got great manners, walks well on a leash, and knows how to listen. Chester isn’t comfortable around dogs or cats and needs to be the only animal in the home, and he isn’t a match for households with children. What he needs most is someone steady and understanding who can give him space and time to settle in. Fun fact: Chester was born on February 5th, which makes him an Aquarius—known for their independent streak. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
