Chester didn't deserve the treatment he received from his
family back in October, 2019, nor did he deserve to be neglected so
badly throughout his life, but this gentle giant doesn't let anything
get him down. When Chester's family no longer wanted him, they brought
him to our Newark facility and claimed to have found him as a stray.
Chester was over 9 years old and he surely devoted himself to his
family, only to be repaid with neglect and abandonment.
Chester was transferred to our AHS/Popcorn Park location,
where he underwent extensive medical treatment for a variety of
conditions that were left untreated for so long. Multiple masses and
diseased teeth were removed, and his severe arthritis is now being
treated with not only medications, but weekly laser therapy too!
Chester is the happiest guy these days, and he positively
loves his caretakers that spoil him, take him on leisurely strolls, and
give him all the cuddling that he wants. Since Chester needs to be an
only pet and also needs a child-free home, it's taken longer to find the
perfect home for this senior boy. He's been added to our Share-A-Pet
program so he can get lots of attention from some great sponsors while
he waits. File#42062
