Chesternut is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

He needs exercise.

Chesternut is a 1-1/2-year-old, 37-pound, male, Terrier mix.

His previous owner surrendered him to a shelter in the Imperial Valley. He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS).

He’s not what you would call a high-energy dog, but he’s above average. Like many young terriers, Chesternut is outgoing. He needs physical and mental exercise.
