About this Dog

I found Chester on November 10th wandering down my street. He is a young male Akita mix about two years old who was not wearing a collar and was not chipped. I posted a photo and description of him on all the lost and found pet websites but have not gotten any inquiries about him. Likewise, I have not seen any adds online or elsewhere looking for him. Chester is an affectionate, high-energy dog who is very friendly with adults and children alike. He wants to play with other dogs but because of his size and strength, we are keeping him away from other dogs until he has been neutered later this week. The one issue we are having with Chester is his severe separation anxiety when we leave the house. He is too strong and resistant for us to get him into a kennel. Consequently, we must tranquilize him an hour before we leave the house. Chester also needs work on following commands so a course in basic dog training would be highly recommended. Chester is still young and fully of energy. Two brisk walks a day do not seem to be enough physical activity for a dog his age. We think he needs to be in a household with other dogs that will keep him company and that he can play with. He would also be a good candidate for doggy day care once he has been neutered. Currently, we have been taking him around the corner to run in a large fenced in property that is about to go on the market. A dog of his age and energy level needs that kind of intense daily exercise. We think he would do well living with a family who spend most of their time at home or with someone who works from their house. He is great loyal companion as long he is not by himself. My partner and I are both in our mid-sixties and semi-retired. We plan on downsizing to a condo with no yard within the year and will begin traveling a great deal in the coming year, so Chester is just too much dog for us to manage at this point in our life. We are willing to foster him for the short term but want to find him a more suitable forever home.

Adopt Chester and Receive Dogecoin

Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Chester's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).

How will Chester receive the Dogecoin?


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Chester, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Chester's Dogecoin here.


For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Chester was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Chester’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.




What is Dogecoin?


"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.




What happens to unclaimed funds?


We want the Chester’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Chester’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
