Meet Lester

Meet Lester – A Gentle Soul Looking for His New Home Don’t let the “senior” label fool you—Lester still has plenty of love, curiosity, and companionship to give. This handsome 50–55 lb tricolor hound mix, is estimated to be around 10-11 years old , and he’s in impressively good shape. In fact, he can still hop right into the back of a car and happily head out for his next adventure. Lester is the definition of a well-mannered gentleman. Since arriving in his foster home, he has been easygoing, adaptable, and incredibly pleasant to have around. He has a calm, “go with the flow” personality that makes him a wonderful companion for a relaxed household. This sweet boy enjoys daily walks to stretch his legs and sniff the world, followed by long, cozy naps. He’s crate trained, housebroken, neutered and great on a leash, which means he will transitions easily into a new routine. Whether you live in a house or an apartment, Lester is perfectly content as long as he gets his walks and time with his people. Lester is friendly with new people and does well with other calm, well-mannered dogs. Because he prefers a peaceful environment, a quieter home would suit him best. He would also be happy as your one and only dog. Cats aren’t really his thing, so a cat-free home would be ideal. What truly makes Lester special is his gentle, affectionate nature. He’s the kind of dog who simply wants to be near his people, enjoying the comfort and security of a loving home. After sadly losing his family, Lester ended up in a shelter and was at risk of euthanasia. Thankfully, he found a safe foster home—but what he really deserves is a forever family to spend his golden years with. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a calm walking buddy, and a loving presence in your home, Lester might just be your perfect match. DISCLAIMER: We hope you'll consider adopting Lester.
