Description
Dog Breed: Terrier (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 350. Chester is a charming 9-year-old Wirehaired Terrier with a big personality and plenty of pep left in his step. This handsome guy is a true people-dog—affectionate, attentive, and happiest when he’s right by your side (literally, he loves to follow his humans everywhere). He’s confident and knows what he wants, which means he’d prefer to be the king of his castle as the only pet in the home. Chester loves being active and would much rather go on walks, explore the outdoors, or hop in the car for an adventure than hang out at the dog park. He walks well on leash most of the time and enjoys being outside, though he can get a little excited when he spots another dog. Squirrels and rabbits may catch his eye, but he gives up the chase pretty quickly. At home, Chester is a joy. He doesn’t need a crate, does great left uncrated, and sleeps happily with his people. He’s playful and silly—zoomies make an appearance every few days, and he loves to play, especially when blankets are involved. He also has a nightly routine he takes very seriously: one Greenie toothbrush and a fun game of “chase me.” Chester would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard and an active family—kids would be a big bonus, as he’d love playmates who can keep up with him. He’s still working on some house-training consistency and does well wearing belly bands while he continues to improve. If you’re looking for a loyal, spirited, always-smiling companion who will keep life fun and full of love, Chester might just be your perfect match The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
