This week we’ll meet Chester. Chester has been involved with dog rescue for 27 years! Way to go Chester!!! He has rescued dogs in many states including Texas, Kansas, Mississippi and Arkansas and has been involved with many groups, the first of which was Chihuahua Transport and Rescue.
His love for animals and faith that they can be helped began when he was six years old while living in the country with his grandparents. Chester recalls, “My dog at the time was a Shepherd mix, Bullet. He was hit by a car and all 4 legs were broken and in most cases back then that was a death sentence, not with my grandfather. He staked out 4 poles and stretched out a minnow sein across these. He then put Bullet in the middle of the sein where his paws did not touch the ground. He gave him something for pain and don't know what that was. He crawled under the sein and straightened out Bullets legs as best he could. Bullet was watered and fed this way. After about a month, he let the sein down; Bullet could walk and later on was running. This set the stage for my love of animals.”
Chester is a long-time musician who also loves to fish and camp. He currently fosters Lady Bug, Angel, and Betsy. If you'd be interested in giving one of these dogs a forever home, please fill out an adoption application here.
