About Chester

Chester is ready for adoption and looking for a loving home in New York, NY. At around 5 years old and weighing 26 lbs, he's a charming Boston Terrier who's adjusting to life in a new environment. While Chester can be a bit shy initially, he is a brave little guy who warms up with some patience. His affectionate nature emerges once he feels secure, turning him into a loyal shadow who loves to be by your side. Chester's a quiet, laid-back dog, content to lounge on the couch and enjoy leisurely walks. His foster mom describes him as “a dream on the leash,” and though he may have opinions on the route, he genuinely enjoys his strolls. Fully housetrained and well-mannered, he appreciates some cheese or freeze-dried meatballs as treats! Cuddles, kisses, and belly rubs are new delights he's learning to embrace. However, he’ll pass on the rain—he prefers to stay dry! Chester does well with children aged 9 and up and can live harmoniously with other dogs after an in-person meet and greet. He may need some time to open up, but there's plenty of love waiting inside him. Perhaps his next journey begins with you!
