Chester's Story

I'm Chester, a 78-pound Shepherd mix and proud goofball with a big personality and an even bigger heart! I'm a derpy guy who gets playful and rowdy pretty quickly, and when I'm having fun I can be a little mouthy - I'm just excited and still learning my manners. New things can make me feel a bit unsure at first, but underneath that hesitation I'm a very sweet boy who loves exploring and checking out the world around me. When I get scratches, I twist and wiggle all over the place because I just can't contain my happiness! I'm a rambunctious pup with lots of energy, so I'd do best with an active family that can keep up with my playful spirit and give me plenty of exercise and adventures. I like knowing my people are nearby and enjoy staying close to my favorite humans. With some basic training and continued socialization, I'll gain confidence and learn how to channel my enthusiasm in all the right ways. With patience, structure, and lots of love, I'll grow into a fun, loyal companion who keeps life entertaining and full of laughter. My adoption fee of $225+tax covers the cost of my care and stay here at the humane society. All Pennington County residents must also pay an additional $8 licensing fee at time of adoption.

Humane Society of The Black Hills's Adoption Policy

The adoption process may take up to one hour to complete but we’ll keep it as simple and streamlined as possible. Here are the steps when you’re considering adopting a pet: - Visit our website to see available animals or see them on-site during regular hours, seven days a week. - When you find a dog, cat or small animal you would like to spend more time with, simply call the Humane Society of the Black Hills at (605) 394-4170 for an appointment. - Occasionally, our team is able to accommodate walk-ins, but as we cannot guarantee them, it is best to call for an appointment. -During your scheduled appointment, an adoption advisor will review the animal's history with you and bring the animal to meet you for an initial visit. - A second appointment may be made for you for a variety of reasons (Ex. You have a dog at home you'd like to bring in to meet the pet next). -Once you have met a pet that you think is your perfect match and you have been approved to adopt, your adoption advisor will take you through the adoption process, and you can take your new family member home!
