Just as loyal and tenderhearted as Marshall
Dillon's sidekick on Gunsmoke, Chester is a 10-12 month old shepherd
mix with a heart of gold. Chester came to us from the Hollister
Animal Shelter after coming in as a stray with a broken hind
leg after being hit by a car. AFRP provided the vet care Chester
needed, and after patiently wearing a cast for many weeks, Chester
has healed, though may always have a slight hitch in the hind
leg that was damaged.
Chester had some bad luck but is eager for a fresh start. He
is an intelligent, enthusiastic pup who wants to make up for
lost time. Go for a walk? Ride in the car? Play fetch in the
yard? Chester just wiggles with delight at the thought of spending
time with his person. He's an energetic dog who will easily keep
up with the most active adopter.
Though he has not yet attended formal obedience classes, Chester
picked up his basic commands while in foster care. What a smart
dog! He still needs to work on a few things, and pulls a bit
on the leash, but is eager to learn and loves to please his person.
He is house trained and crate trained. He loves his chew toys!
Chester is the friendliest dog you could ever want to meet -
he's definitely not the shy type! He cheerfully greets all the
people that stop by the AFRP Adoption Center, hoping for a friendly
pat, a belly rub or a doggie treat. Chester not only loves people,
he plays nicely with other dogs, and would be a great buddy to
take to the beach or the dog park. He does chase cats though,
so he's looking for a feline-free home. Since Chester can get
a little rambunctious, he would do best in a home without small
children that he could accidentally knock over.
Chester would love a chance to show you what a wonderful companion
he can be. He is currently in boarding, and spends afternoons
at the AFRP Adoption Center, 560 Lighthouse Ave in Pacific Grove
from 12:00 - 3:30 Tuesdays through Saturdays. He'd love to meet
you!
