Chesney
Meet Chesney: The “Better Boat” Champion!
"I broke, I bent, I bowed / But I didn't break... I'm a better boat."
That pretty much sums up our boy, Chesney.
Age: 4 Years Old
Breed: Dalmatian
Personality: Extremely Sweet, Affectionate, Loyal
Chesney is a stunning 4-year-old Dalmatian who has lived through some choppy waters. He didn’t get the best start in life, but you would never know it by the way he greets the world today. Like a resilient ship that has weathered a storm, Chesney has come out the other side stronger, calmer, and ready to find his forever harbor.
Why you’ll love him:
Chesney is the definition of "affectionate." Once he trusts you, he wants to be your shadow. He’s a snuggler who will happily lay his head in your lap. Despite his rough past, he has an incredibly forgiving soul and just wants to make his humans happy. He’s looking for a family that will appreciate his loyalty and give him the gentle, loving, "good life" he deserves.
His Ideal Home:
A loving, patient home that understands he might need a little time to feel fully secure. Someone to take him on walks to enjoy the sun and the scenery (just like a country song!). A comfy couch for cuddles.
Chesney is done with the storm and is looking for smooth sailing from here on out. If you have a spot in your home and your heart, let Chesney show you how much love an "underdog" can give.
