Chester's Story

**GUNNER'S & CHESTER'S ADOPTION FEES HAVE BEEN FULLY SPONSORED THANKS TO AN ANONYMOUS DONOR** Hello, my name is: Chester Approx. DOB: 05/04/2011 Sex/Breed: Neutered male Long-Haired Dachshund Weight: 18.3 lbs Hello, my name is: Gunner Approx. DOB: 07/30/2016 Sex/Breed: Neutered male Long-Haired Dachshund Weight: 13.2 lbs No, you're not seeing double! Welcome Chester and Gunner, two adorable senior dachshunds who recently came to All 4 Paws. They were surrendered with medical needs and facing a looming deadline as their family prepared to move. We knew we had to keep them out of the shelter system and offer them a safe place to land. These boys are now ready to find a family that will love them through their golden years! Chester, the more reserved of the two, is a true napper, content to snooze most of the day. He likes to keep an eye on you from a comfortable distance, occasionally coming over for a gentle pet. Walks are enjoyed at his own charming waddle! Gunner, a bit more energetic, loves to play with toys and run for a bit before settling down for his own naps. He’s a snuggler, enjoying couch time, and moves at a faster pace on walks than Chester. Both boys are treat-motivated and are doing well with a consistent bathroom schedule. Taking in owner-surrendered pets like Chester and Gunner – especially seniors and those with medical needs – is part of our mission. In many cases, these pets would end up in overwhelmed shelters. By bringing them directly into our foster homes, we offer immense benefits: immediate comfort, a quiet environment away from the stress of a shelter, personalized attention for their medical needs, and a chance to decompress and show their true personalities. It's a win-win for everyone, especially for these deserving dogs who get to bypass the noise and fear, heading straight to loving care. These boys are just two of many who benefit from your support, allowing us to be a safety net for pets facing an uncertain future. Who will open their home and hearts to Chester and Gunner? All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Interested in adopting?

All 4 Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy

All 4 Paws is a foster-based rescue located in Malvern, PA. Since all of our dogs live in foster homes (instead of in a shelter environment), we are able to learn a tremendous amount about them and their needs. This helps us make great matches between our adopters and their new best friends! We do our best to keep the adoption process straight-forward and simple in an effort to get our available pets into permanent, stable and loving homes in a timely manner. Our Adoption Process: 1. You submit an application. You can submit an application by clicking the appropriate application button at the bottom of this page. If you have already been approved by or adopted from All 4 Paws, select the "Previously Approved" application for a shortened version. Be sure to include what you are looking for in your new pet as it helps us with the matchmaking process! 2. We contact your references. We will contact your vet (if you have/had a pet), your landlord/property manager (if applicable), along with a few personal references right away. Please let all references know that we will be contacting them. This will help us to speed things along! 3. We send an email notifying you of the status of your application. Please note: We get a lot of interest in our dogs and there is no guarantee that an approved application will secure your adoption of the dog you expressed interest in. 4. If approved, you work directly with our Adoptions Team to discuss our dogs and to set up an adoption appointment. We’re happy to adopt to out-of-state families! Please note that, in accordance with our PA Kennel License, all adoptions must be completed in person at our Malvern, PA office. You can also meet a few of our dogs at once at our Meet & Greet Events. Events are a great opportunity to speak with our fosters and volunteers to discuss all of our dogs. Our adoption fee for dogs is $500+tax. This fee includes a wellness exam, all age-appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing (when age appropriate), worming, microchip and registration, flea/tick prevention, as well as any additional care recommended by our vet (i.e. dental cleanings, bloodwork, etc.). PLEASE NOTE: We do offer discounted adoption fees to families adopting more than one dog, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs, when possible. You can see all of our currently adoptable dogs on our website or on our Facebook page. We rescue new dogs daily so if someone doesn't catch your eye right now, we're sure to have a pup that matches what you are looking for soon! Please stick with us and be patient - we promise your new best friend will be well worth the wait! If you have additional questions, please visit our FAQs page (https://www.all4pawsrescue.com/faq) or email us at Info@all4pawsrescue.com.
