Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chester is a super sweet boy who LOVES attention and affection! He came to OCAS as a stray and was a bit underweight, but he`s eating well and doing great! He`s a total lovebug! His adventure buddies report that he can be a little restless on car rides, but he walks well on leash and is a great hiking companion. His foster family also reports that he did really well in their home, and he did well with another dog (the dogs didn`t become best friends but they got along with each other just fine). He would likely do best in a home without cats. He knows some basic commands and seems housetrained! Chester will make a great addition to some lucky home!
Foster notes on Chester: `Chester is such a sweet, affectionate, friendly, and energetic dog. He is always happy and loves everyone. We took him for a hike at Carolina North Forest and he totally LOVED it. He is a great outdoor companion and is a very good hiker. We went 3 miles and he was still strong at the end. Afterward we stopped for a pup cup which Chester also loved. He is so cheerful and full of love and affection that I think he would make a great dog for any family that is able to give him long walks or has another dog he can play with to burn off energy.` `Chester was absolutely amazing! He was a very headstrong dog that was hilariously food/treat driven. He was amazing on his walks, and had an adorable curiosity of everything he came across. When other dogs walked by, he wouldn’t bark, but would show interest without being overly aggressive. He was also amazing in the car! We 100% want to come back for another day out with Chester soon!!` `Chester is a mellow, easygoing guy with a big love for treats. On his long car ride to Blue Dog Farm, he was a bit anxious, so a car leash is recommended for safety. Once we arrived, he happily sniffed and munched on grass during our walk to the dog playground. He wasn’t interested in running, but he did enjoy exploring. We did move him to another area since he was eager to snack on acorns, which can upset a dog’s stomach. Chester was especially friendly when meeting the owner and his wife, approaching them with a happy, social manner. When the owner’s dogs accidentally slipped out and rushed toward him, Chester handled it calmly—he gave one strong bark to the pushiest dog, then let the situation de-escalate on its own. Afterward, he carried on without fuss. He showed little interest in the alpacas on the property and only mild c
