Chester

Chester is a 5-month-old puppy who is a handful. He is a big puppy, probably 40 pounds already, and he’s going to be a big adult. Our best guess is that he’s a mastiff-Fila Brasileiro mix.

Chester is very sweet and has all the typical puppy characteristics — lots of energy, loves to play, loves to see how sharp his teeth are, needs help with house training, etc. He will benefit from an owner who is experienced with larger dogs and who will take him to training classes as a puppy.

Chester is neutered, microchipped, tested for heart worm, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go to the Tahoe animal shelter’s Facebook page to see photos and descriptions of all pets at the shelter.
