CHESTER - RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Retriever / Mixed. A SWEET & GENTLE LOVEBUG: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 27 lbs. Hi, my name is Chester! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and have been soaking up all the love from the amazing volunteers ever since. When I arrived, I was heartworm positive, but thanks to Mostly Mutts, I got the treatment I needed and I’m now in my resting and recovery period. Even though I’m lying low while I heal, I’m still available for adoption — so just ask about me! I was adopted for a few weeks, but it turned out not to be the right fit, so I’m back and ready to find the perfect match who’ll give me the forever home I’ve been waiting for. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, but I will after my resting and recovery period. The family that adopted me for a few weeks reported that I was good with the dogs I met while I was with them, so if you have a dog at home, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I met kids at Mostly Mutts that were around 10 years old, and I liked them. I also met and liked the 4- and 6-year-olds in my 4-day short break foster home – though I did steal their stuffed toys – oops! So, if you have kids around those ages, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m described as a very sweet and relatively calm guy with a friendly, loving and gentle demeanor who just loves being around people. I made a great impression during my photo shoot — flashing my best smile and winning over the photographer with my charm! The volunteers keep saying I’m “a great dog,” and I have a feeling you’ll think so, too. I do have a bit of a habit of mounting pillows and dog beds in the 2 homes I was in — oops — but it’s something that can be trained and the folks at Mostly Mutts are happy to help you with that. / Energy level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’ commands, and I bet you can teach me even more. / I don’t like being in a crate as it’s very stressful to me. / I've been having a few accidents on the shelter schedule, though I’m improving, so please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills. In the 2 homes I was in, I really wanted my people to come out in the fenced yard with me while I did my business. Not to worry, I was quick about it and then was ready to come back inside. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love attention and company — whether it’s getting pampered during bath time, sitting with volunteers while I eat, or hanging out at the front desk at Mostly Mutts to greet people. I enjoy lap time, stuffed toys, and being petted, though I’ll get up and leave when I’m done, so petting in moderation is great for me — I call that not being too demanding. / I’m not a big fan of most dog toys — I only like the stuffed ones — and louder things like the trash truck and thunder make me a bit uneasy. Other than those things, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’ve been treated for heartworms and will be re-tested in mid to late January 2026, and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that test with their vet, so local adoption is best. I am looking for a loving home with a great furever family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
