Chester's Story

Meet this sweet boy full of energy named Chester! Chester originally came to the shelter as stray, so we are unsure of his past. But what we DO know is that he is a big lovable goofball! Chester is still a young pup at heart that needs lots of playtime and training in order to set him up for success. He will happily carry his favorite toy while on his daily walks and loves getting treats from his humans! Chester has met a couple of dogs while in our care; his introduction with a young energetic male dog was very positive! Chester does have a rough and tumble play style so, we recommend you bring your resident pup to meet Chester to ensure it's a good match! Chester is looking for a home that can help him succeed with his training and become the best boy ever! If Chester sounds like a good addition to your pack, come meet him today! <br/><br/>This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!<br/><br/>Be sure to check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton).

You may also view available pets online in advance, on our 24PetConnect page. If you meet a shelter pet you'd like to adopt, complete an adoption questionnaire (available at the Shelter), and one of our Adoption Counselors will go over that pet's medical and behavior history and information. Make it official! We do same-day adoptions which means pets go home the same day they're adopted!
