Notes: Chester was posted on an animal control facebook page needing rescue or adoption. He is so stunning I kept going back to look at him. So...I pulled him.

Chester was in a temporary foster and did well. He is quiet and very terrified. Kids do scare him as loud noises do too. He will need a patient person to bring him out of his shell.

He has done play group with other males and females with no issue. He occasionally tries to get others to play but is a shy guy and just enjoys being outside.

Chester started to play with some toys showing he was becoming comfortable and showing his goofy personality.

Will require a fenced yard. He feels vulnerable in the "open" and is a little uncomfortable on a leash when he's not feeling secure.

Available anywhere in the US and Canada. Transport is available.
