Chester

Meet Chester, the adorable guy with a patch on his eye. Chester is a Llewellin Setter that was surrendered for being “gun shy”. He started his life in Kentucky, was fostered in Virginia, and found his way to his forever home in southeast Michigan. We were eager to get a playmate for our 7 year old English Setter, Freckles, a stray that we picked up (literally) in 2010. After the loss of our Golden Retriever, Freckles was lonely.

Chester was well looked after in his foster home, but arrived, understandably, nervous about yet another home in his young 3 years. It has taken a period of adjustment, but he is happy, healthy, and very much at home now with his new brother and 3 cats. He loves to window surf (i.e., watch outdoor wildlife from window to window) and loves to run. He enjoys weekly visits to daycare and the bark park. He is eager to learn his commands and now walks beautifully on a leash. 

It was a bit rough in the beginning for all of us, but now we could not be happier with this guy.

Lots of love, patience and positive training have built up his trust and confidence. We can’t imagine our home without him now.

Now Chester smiles and wags his whole body and we know that he is finally happy and HOME!
