It was love at first sight for Lauren Reitsman when a friend sent her an online post of Chester.
" He has all these people around him and he's just bopping around just to see who he can get love from, so I think I won the lottery game," Reitsman said.

Shelter employees state he required a home without small kids or other canines and someone who understands his past.
"I think adoption is so crucial, specifically when an animal, now I'm getting psychological, an animal has had a rough start in life because they deserve it even more," stated Reitsman.
Lauren states she will leave Chester's name the very same, sort of.
"His federal government name, if you will, is going to be Chester William Reitsman the First, of Royalton," she said as people in the home chuckled.
Reitsman states she also plans to make Chester meatballs, his preferred meal.
