My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This little guy is a very sweet young dog. His foster family is enjoying their time with him but Chester does need to find a permanent family of his own. Chester is a young adult approximately 2 - 3 years old and weighs just 10 lbs. He loves everyone and will make a wonderful family companion.


Here is what his foster family had to say about Chester:


This little guy is a real sweet boy. He loves his squeaky toys. He is so quiet in the house. Well, my grandson didn't want me to send information to fast on this guy, so we could keep him longer.....we have given him the name Chester.


Chester is very friendly. He loves people and is great with children. He loves my grandson. Chester is playful but not for a long period of time. He loves anything that squeaks. He also likes chewy toys. He is not fond of playing with balls. He does not have an aggressive bone in his body and he is not shy with anyone and he is fine with other pets.


He is fine in his crate. We have been using the create with him when we go out and at night. He will go right in with no problem. We have not even heard him bark. He sleeps quietly through the entire night. He does not appear to have any fear issues and is fine on his walks with passing cars, etc. His favourite thing to do is to play with my grandson and chase him around the house.


Chester is very well behaved and is so quiet that you can almost forget he is in the house. He has a low energy level. He is very healthy and we have had no issues changing his food. He knows his basic commands such as "come", "sit" and "off". Chester is fully house trained. He would not need to be crated. He loves riding in the car. He has very good manners in the home. We are currently working on leash training and he is just about there. He's fine in the yard, but we have to watch him when someone is at the front door to make sure he doesn't go out.


Chester would do just fine in any home. He's a sweet boy, and would love to have a family of his own. I would watch with young children as he is so tiny.


If you would like to add Chester as part of your family, please visit our website and submit an application for consideration.
