Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chester Speaker is an adorable approx 2 year old 38 lbs male Heeler mix. Chester came to CAFA as a stray dog over a year ago, but was adopted by his foster family. Due to increasing disability and aging of his owners, they are asking CAFA to re-home Chester(aka Ideal). Chester LOVES to play with and retrieve balls, he loves his owners grandchildren, ages six and up. He wants to be the only doggie so would be fine as an only pooch, but he gets along well with non-dominant dogs that respect his space. He currently lives with a 2 year old, 75 lb, active puppy that is also being re-homed by CAFA. Chester loves people and being active with them. He really enjoys walks and would be a great hiking partner. Chester would love to be your co-captain of the couch.

Medical details:
All our dogs are altered (spayed or neutered), DHLPP, rabies, Bordetella, Heartworm tested with negative test results, microchipped, treated for parasites and on monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention. A health certificate is issued by a licensed Louisiana veterinarian.
Adoption details:
In some instances, a meet and greet is not possible before adoption unless we have a foster home in New England available. Available for a Meeting confirms the dog is in a NE Foster home and available for a meeting in the city state provided. Most times our dogs get adopted before a foster home becomes available - and if so, they go straight to adopters home. Foster parents talk to adopters and feel confident that this will be a match before our dogs are transported up. Also if by some chance it is not a match we have a safety net in place as we ask that adopters to let us know that it is not a match and we direct you to take the dog to a foster home or boarding kennel once that is arranged. If necessary, we will ask you to foster the dog until a foster home can be arranged.
Transport details:Rescue Road Trips (rescueroadtrips.com), Pets LLC (petsllc.net) or CAFA Transport will deliver our precious pups on commercial rescue animal transport to designated locations. The fee is 225.00 which IS INCLUDED in your adoption fee already.**Rescue Road Trips, was featured on The Today Show - view it at http://www.today.com/video/today/55034556#55034556
MA and NH RESIDENTS:
If you are a Massachusetts or New Hampshire residence, an additional fee of $130.00 will apply due to State quarantine fee requirements. If the dog is in a foster home in MA or NH, this fee will be added in the adoption fee regardless of where the adopters home is located making the total adoption fee $720.00 for puppies and adults $540.00 for Seniors, otherwise the full adoption fee for all other states is $590.00 for puppies and adults and $415.00 for seniors.
