Tracker drools when he is happy and excited so he was given the nickname 'drool bug'

My name is Tracker and I love to run and play. I was brought to the South Bend Animal Resource Center on Feb. 21 after playing a chase game with officers from there. First, I thought I could get some children in a school pick up line to play and then I went and visited a group of dogs to see if they wanted to play. The officers stayed with me the entire time, but only caught me when I got tired and just didn’t want to run anymore. Oh, and the officers had lots of Beggin’ Strips for me – my favorite snack! I’m not sure why I was out running free, I remember having someone feed me, give me a new collar and a bath. The shelter staff promised to find me a good home if I wasn’t reclaimed, so here I am. The staff calls me “sweet” except when I jump too often. I also drool when I am happy and excited, so I can be a real drool bug. I’m good with other dogs, but I’d not do well in a home with cats. I am 70 pounds of fun and would love to be a part of your family. Call SBARC and set up a time to meet with me.
