Hello, my name is Chester, I am a five-year-old male Retriever/Golden mix. I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid (CAAA), located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester. A few things to know. I do like to chew a lot so I am learning to practice carrying a toy or ball around so I don’t get tempted to nibble on other things like my leash. I am a very smart and love to learn new things. I am happiest when with humans. I do not like cats or dogs – kind of scared, so I am looking to be your one and only. I am a special needs adoption because I have a heart murmur. The staff arranged for a consult with a vet and I even had an echo-cardiogram and ultrasound and the doctors said I will not require any medicine or extra treatment and I should have a normal lifestyle. But the way, I just turned five, so it isn’t too late to have a birthday party for me!
