Chester is at risk due to behavioral reasons. During his current stay in the care center Chester has been obsvered to have a low threshold for arousal. Noted to jump up high onto handlers at face level with an open mouth. He has also been obsvered to mouth their arms. During his previous stay in the care center Chester was observed to chew on traffic cones. While out with handlers Chester has been observed to have a loose and wiggly body and allows petting. Medically, Chester is apparently healthy.

During his previous stay Chester FKA Goob arrived at MACC as a stray with no known history. During intake, Chester was observed to chew on traffic cones and thrashed when handlers attempted to place him in kennel. Throughout his stay in the care center Chester warmed up to handlers. However, during his assessment, Chester became tense, retreated from handlers and thrashed mildly when the handler attempted to place a collar on him. Chester was recently returned to the care center due to some behaviors he presented in the home. During his current stay in the care center, Chester has been observed to have a low threshold for arousal, noted to jump up high onto handlers at face level with an open mouth. This behavior is very difficult to redirect. Due to the detailed behavior we recommend an experienced adult only home.

A staff member writes: Chester is a fun-loving, enthusiastic boy with a zest for life! He's always excited to get out and explore, loves sniffing around on walks, and enjoys learning new things. He's already practicing cues like "sit" and "down" and has even started clicker training, showing he's eager to engage with his handlers-especially when treats are involved! Chester is looking for an active family who can continue building his manners while embracing his goofy, affectionate personality.
