Animal Services staff seeks home for Vern, a lab mix rescued after roaming stray

A Tracy Animal Services staff member introduced Vern, a roughly 1–2-year-old lab mix found roaming as a stray, and urged members of the public to consider adopting him.

The staff member said Vern "actually was roaming stray for about a week, and he was extremely fearful of anybody coming close to him," but that shelter staff have worked with him and "now he enjoys to be with people and socialize." The segment noted Vern did well meeting families and children at a recent car show.

Shelter staff reported Vern is "neutered, he's vaccinated, and he's microchipped," and described his playful behavior—enjoying fetch and time in the pool. The staff member encouraged interested adopters to contact Tracy Animal Services; staff gave shelter hours (Tuesday through Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.) and an email contact, animalservices@tracypd.com, for arranging visits or a "doggy day out."

The staff member closed by saying they hope to find Vern a loving family soon and reiterated that he has made substantial progress since arriving at the shelter.
