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

We do our best to keep the adoption process straight-forward and simple in an effort to get our available pets into a permanent, stable and loving home in a timely manner. You will be asked to fill out an adoption application giving All 4 Paws Rescue information about yourself, your family and your experience with pets. We will ask for your vet (if you have/had a pet) and landlord/property manager information (if applicable), along with 3 personal references. Be sure to include what you are looking for in your new pet as it helps us with the matchmaking process! It generally takes our team about 3-5 days to complete an application. This timing may vary based on how quickly and easily your references are reached and how many applications are pending at that time. Please give all of your references a heads up to help us speed things along. Our goal is to find our animals the best possible home and if multiple applications are received, All 4 Paws Rescue will make the decision as to which home would be best for that particular pet. When an adoption does not work out, it is an unpleasant experience for the pet and the adoptive family and can make placing the returned animal more difficult in the future. For this reason, we reserve the right to refuse any adoption that we feel is not in the best interest of the animal and/or the adoptive family. A refusal is not a judgement of the applicant, but instead represents our assessment that a particular pet might not do well in the environment offered based on our years of experience arranging successful adoptions. It is our goal to make the best possible placement for every animal and adopter. PLEASE NOTE : **We DO require that ALL dogs and cats in your household are spayed or neutered, kept up-to-date on vaccines and that they are seen annually for a check-up. **We do NOT require a fenced in yard unless otherwise noted for a specific pet. **We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed before or after adopting. **We do NOT have restrictions regarding children in an adoptive household unless otherwise noted for a specific pet. **We do NOT SHIP animals. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets and live outside of our area, you will be required to come meet and adopt the animal in person if your application is approved. **We do NOT hold animals. **We do NOT adopt to anyone under 21 years old. **ALL APPLICANTS MUST GO THROUGH OUR ENTIRE ADOPTION APPLICATION PROCESS - WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
