Chester at the lake

Chester was rescued by Red Lake Rosie's Rescue from being dumped in the country or shot when his owner was evicted. Life is certainly looking up since then!

I thought this photo was appropriate for the last vacation day of summer and this great dog is still available for adoption from Pet Haven.

Here is a photo of what dear Chester has been up to at his foster's cabin.

My Story: I came all the way from the Red Lake Reservation. My owner did not want me any more and was going to drop me off in a field.

Hobbies: I am in love with life and enjoying all the new experiences of the city. My foster has even taken me up north to a cabin. I got to swim in a lake, too.

Commands/Tricks: So far I have not had any formal training, but I do know sit. Walking on a leash is what I am working on now. It is going pretty well with a Gentle Leader.

Crate / Potty Trained: I am totally housetrained and can be left with free roam of the house while you are at work.

Activity Level: . Medium. Daily exercise is always welcomed. I love those walks around the neighborhood.

Fun things I do: Going for walks, swimming in the lake, car rides, dog parks, whatever you are up to I am glad to tag along. I totally love swimming, so trips to the lake would be a plus. And, I stick around off-leash, too.

Socialization / who I currently live with: I live with my foster dad right now. But I have lived with other dogs and kids too. I have spent lots of time at my foster's cabin. Look at me in the boat.
