About Lester

Lester is a spirited senior with a vibrant personality. His friends describe him as a funny old man who fills his kennel with delightful chatter. At playtime, he's friendly and wiggly, always eager for a few moments of companionship in the play yard. As a large and gentle giant, he loves to cool off in pools during hot summer days. Lester thrives on human attention, often melting into his loved ones when they sit with him. While he enjoys the occasional game with a tennis ball, he's just starting to explore toys. Lester has shown social behavior with other dogs, making him a good candidate for a multi-pet home. He's searching for a perfect retirement spot where he can share his thoughts on the world — from the quirks of kids to the best types of dog beds and, of course, when dinner should be served (4pm, obviously). If you’re ready to invite this charming fellow into your home, ask to meet Lester today!
