Meet the charming Chester! We are pretty sure he is a teddy bear that has been magically brought to life, but they're telling us that he is a six-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix from down south.

We've learned that Chester was abandoned by his owner to a new family and promised to return, but never did. The family kept him well fed, but tied up outside and neglected. He's now thriving in foster care and is an absolute sweetheart!

Are you looking for loyalty and companionship without the puppy chaos? Chester might be your perfect match. He has great social skills, is fully house trained and enjoys long naps on the couch. He walks well on the leash, which is great because he does need to lose a bit of weight. Chester just really wants a family more than anything, and we hope we can make that happen for him!

Adopting a dog of Chester's age is not only incredibly compassionate, but a deeply rewarding experience for everyone! Will you welcome this gentle, loving soul into your home?



An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
