About Chester

Meet Chester, an adorable 3-year-old terrier mix. This sweet boy weighs in at 15 lbs and is looking for a loving home through no fault of his own—his last owner moved and couldn’t take him along. The resident dogs in his new environment weren’t welcoming, which led him here. Chester is house-trained and obedience-trained, making him a fantastic companion right from the start. Although the sudden move was stressful for him, he’s currently relaxing in a calm foster home, soaking up all the affection he craves. We think Chester would thrive in a peaceful home with older teens. Once settled, he’s dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other friendly pups. Chester is gentle and affectionate, just waiting for a forever family to help him truly shine. If you're in search of a smart and loving sidekick, Chester is eager to meet you!
