Meet the Pet of the Week
There are not enough great things to say about Chester! This big furball is such a good boy! Chester is clean in his kennel and well behaved. He walks like a gentleman on a leash and is super lovable. He is a big couch potato and just wants someone to love him. If you are looking for an energetic and active dog, he is not it! Chester is also heartworm positive. We are willing to treat the heartworms but he must have a home or foster before we can get his treatment started.
