Story
My dogs name is Chester, he was born in February and is two years old. We had gotten Chester in February from an shelter. Chester came from South Carolina where he was rescued as his previous owner was a male that had abused him and left him abandoned in a shed along with his brother. Chester was treated in the hospital as he had some skin issues. Chester is an amazing dog. He is amazing with kids, a bjg cuddle bug, and loves to play. He also is a lover of peanut butter and cheese. Although Chester has really amazing traits, Chester also has suffered from separation anxiety due to his previous situation he likes to know you will return to him. Chester also has had a fear of men being his previous owner was male. He has done okay so far, once he gets familiar with males he will be up on your lap :-). Chester will give you the greatest addition to your family. I want him to be with someone who will love him and give him what he needs.

Story
We adopted him a year and a half ago. Initially he fit in well, however he has since had some issues. He is very aggressive with cats, and has came after our three cats on numerous occasions. Additionally, he can get aggressive with older men, and has gone after three older men on four separate occasions. Additionally has gotten aggressive with me on numerous occasions. He also can become destructive if he gets bored, and is not stimulated. The level and intensity of training he needs is beyond our skill set and available attention we can provide. He needs a home where he will be the only dog, or is the main point of focus and care.

Story
I'm the boss around these parts and boy do I love to get my own way. Hey I'm Boss. I'm a bit of a powerhouse. What can I say about myself. Well, for starters I love to run and go for walks. I do not like cats, but I have never been around dogs so it would be best if you brought them in for me to meet them. Kids I think would be fun, well I can't say for sure I've never been around them either, but I will say that little kids are probably not safe around me. I have a tendency to knock things over, so fragile things like small kids would be knocked over easily. Well, if you're interested in meeting me, stop on by and get to know me!
