Here's what the humans have to say about me:
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 with a broken hind leg after being hit by a car. The vet care was provided that Chester needed, and he is completely healed---
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.
