My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there, I’m Chester! I’m a two-year-old black Lab mix, and let me tell you, being part Lab means I’ve got some pretty amazing traits going for me. Labs are known for being smart, loyal, and loving, and I’m no exception. I might not have the papers, but I’ve got all the heart and charm of a true Lab!

I started out as a stray, but those tough days are behind me now, and I’m dreaming of a bright future with my forever family. Whether you’re a seasoned dog lover or new to the world of canine companions, I’m the perfect choice. Why? Because I’m gentle, playful, and oh-so-affectionate. I live for cuddles, belly rubs, and showering my humans with kisses. Seriously, I might just be the best snuggle buddy you’ll ever meet!

Don’t let my sleek black coat fool you—I’m not just handsome, I’m also super friendly with people and other dogs. That means I’d fit right in with just about any family setup. Got kids who want a new best friend? I’m your guy. Other pups in the house? Let’s be buddies. Or maybe you’re looking for a loyal sidekick to share your solo adventures? I’d love to be your shadow.

At two years old, I’m the perfect age. I’m past the wild puppy stage, but still young and full of energy for hikes, playtime, or even learning new tricks. Labs like me are eager to please, so training me to fit into your life will be a breeze. And when the day is done, I’m happy to wind down and relax with you—maybe with my head in your lap, if you don’t mind.

I’ve got a big heart, a playful spirit, and so much love to give. If you’re looking for a lifelong best friend who’s equal parts goofy and sweet, I’m the one for you. Come meet me and see for yourself—I promise you won’t be able to resist my wagging tail and big smile!

Love always,
Chester
