About Chester

Meet Chester! This little terrier mix has made his home at our Los Molinos Sanctuary and is ready to find a loving family. Chester is on the shy side, so he needs a patient caregiver who can offer him the time to adjust and feel secure. He does well with other dogs, and with gentle handling, he will gradually learn that the world is a friendly place. It’ll take a bit of time for him to come out of his shell, but the reward of his blossoming personality will be well worth the wait. Chester has a low to moderate energy level, making him a great fit for quieter households. Remember, our pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, ready to join your family.
