Chester

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Chester may be your perfect match.

This sweet 12-year-old, 27-pound beagle mix is happiest when he's soaking up tummy rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles. While he may be a senior, don't tell him that! He loves a good nap, but he's always ready for a walk, some backyard exploring, or a little playtime.

Chester is a gentle soul who can be a bit timid in busy or noisy environments, so he'd thrive in a calm, relaxed home where he can settle in at his own pace. He enjoys the company of other dogs but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, as long as he gets plenty of love and attention.

He's working hard on his house manners and is making great progress. Like any dog learning the ropes in a new environment, he'll need a family that's patient, consistent, and willing to laugh along the way. All concerns will disappear though, as soon as he rests his big head on you, showing his love and thankfulness.

Chester has so much love to give and is looking for someone to share his golden years with. Every home could use a Chester—a sweet, gentle friend who will love you with his whole heart.
