Tracker was surrendered by his owner to a kill shelter in the panhandle with no reason as to why he did not want this boy. Fantastic volunteers transported Tracker - along with four other dogs - in shifts, transferring them from car to car, to get him to Judy's. He is very sweet and friendly and appears to be about 2-3 years old. He is a very large boy (about 85 pounds) with an even bigger heart. He looks like a purebred.

Tracker is crate trained and house broken and will go to the door when he needs to go out. He is an extremely sweet boy who just wants affection. He'll put his head on your lap at any given chance and would love to be able to sleep in your bed. He likes to cuddle and can't get enough attention. He just wants to be by your side.

Tracker gets along well with most other dogs but he is food aggressive so he must be fed separately if there are multiple dogs in the house. He's good with kids and will make the perfect family dog for someone. He barks when he hears something outside but other than that he is quiet. He walks well on a leash and doesn't pull at all.

Tracker is all heart! He will be neutered on Dec. 28 and then can go to his forever home. Won't you give this sweet boy a chance?

 

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
