Chester's Story

Meet Chester! Your Next Adventure Buddy! <br/><br/>Chester just turned ONE in February, and this handsome boy is full of life, love, and personality! He is very much loved by his family, but with long work hours and the kids having moved away, they know he deserves more time, attention, and activity than they can currently give him. Sometimes, loving a dog means recognizing when another home might be a better fit, and Chester is looking for that next chapter.<br/><br/>Let’s be honest: Chester is a LOT of dog in one adorable package! He has tons of energy, loves attention, and can be pretty demanding when he wants someone to focus on him. He’s a jumper, and that’s been a difficult habit to break, so he’ll need a family willing to continue working on his manners and training. He’s a smart boy who already knows how to sit and give paw, and with consistency, patience, and plenty of exercise, he has so much potential!<br/><br/>Chester would do best as the only dog in an adult home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely burn off his endless energy. Are you a runner looking for a four-legged workout buddy? Chester might be your guy! He would love an active person who can keep him busy, give him a job to do, and make him part of their everyday adventures.<br/><br/>He tends to prefer men, although he has shown love for his family’s 18-year-old daughter, too. He is loyal, affectionate, and wants to be close to his people. He prefers sleeping in bed with his humans and can become anxious when left alone. When he does need to be home alone, he must be crated because his curious nose and busy mind can get him into trouble with small objects around the house!<br/><br/>Speaking of that nose, Chester has quite the adventurous streak! He’s managed to run off twice, so a securely fenced yard is a must. When he’s outside an enclosed area, he needs to be kept safely on a leash or lead. His new family will need to be diligent about keeping him secure while continuing to work on his training.<br/><br/>Chester isn’t looking for a perfect family. He’s looking for the right family — one who understands that young dogs can be challenging, who will provide structure and exercise, and who will love his big personality as much as his big heart. <br/><br/>In return, you’ll get a loyal companion, an enthusiastic adventure buddy, and a boy who has so much love to give.<br/><br/>Could Chester be the missing piece of your family?<br/><br/> If you have an active lifestyle, a securely fenced yard, and the time and patience to help this energetic young man thrive, Chester may be the boy you’ve been looking for!<br/><br/>Applications to adopt can be found at causeforpaws.net.<br/><br/>Please share to help Chester find the loving, active home he deserves!

Cause For Paws's Adoption Policy
In order to encourage folks to rescue homeless Orphans, we try to make the rescue experience as non-invasive and pleasant as possible. First, an application is completed prior to meeting any of our orphans. Since we do not have a shelter, it’s important to be able to pre-qualify folks that will be making appointments with fosters, to meet any of our orphans. We do a vet check, to verify all current or previous dogs are up to date on vaccines, heartworm testing, heartworm prevention, and are either spayed or neutered. We may also contact references listed on the application when there is no previous vet information, or where more information is needed. We’ll then contact you to arrange a home visit, which is merely an opportunity to ask and answer any questions regarding our process. Since most of our orphans have already been in a situation that was not right for them, we want to do whatever it takes to allow them to succeed. It is not our intent to set a dog or a family up for failure.
