Poor little Chester has found himself in rescue as his mum had dementia issues and could no longer care for him. He is a spritely lad for his years and currently enjoys two walks with his foster mum per day for about 30 mins each and typical terrier is very interested in the birds and squirrels and anything edible that has been discarded by the roadside!! Chester enjoys all the home comforts and is happiest curled up on the sofa, in an armchair or on the bed, but if needs must a comfy, snuggly dog bed!!! Like most seniors he is a bit deaf, hearing mainly higher tones so is happy on a long lead out walking and cannot be let off as he has no recall. He does have poorly teeth and due to his age we would not consider having them removed and antibiotics maybe needed periodically - these would be provided by ECR via their vets. Due to his dental situation he does struggle with dry food and is best on a wet diet with some toy breed kibble soaked to supplement it as we do feel he needs to put some weight on x Again he does like the finer things in life and by choice Cesar stew with vegetables or Encore !!!!
He does like little dogs, and gets excited and will play if instigated!! He has been attacked on several occasions by big dogs with his previous owner and did require veterinary treatment so he is very defensive when meeting any on a walk x He loves all people and is very engaging with them but we do not think he has been around children. He has had quite an upheaval in the last 6 months or so and as such does have some separation issues so would suit an active retired home where there is somebody about most of the day. We do not think he has been used to stairs as does stuggle with these but is quite happy to be carried up x He does like toys particularly tennis balls and will encourage you to play with him x Please consider this friendly little chap as he would make a wonderful companion and ECR will undertake to cover his veterinary care via our Epsom and Milford vets so prospective homes need to really be in a 10 mile radius of either Epsom or Milford x
All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered where medically appropriate.
Please note that due to limited resources we are only able to rehome our dogs within a 20 mile radius of Reigate.
