A staff member writes: Chester is a fun-loving, enthusiastic boy with a zest for life! He's always excited to get out and explore, loves sniffing around on walks, and enjoys learning new things. He's already practicing cues like "sit" and "down" and has even started clicker training, showing he's eager to engage with his handlers-especially when treats are involved! Chester is looking for an active family who can continue building his manners while embracing his goofy, affectionate personality.
