Description
Trigger and his sister, Amara, were more than just pets—they were cherished family members. Together, they shared a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, adventure, and the simple joys that come with being home. But sometimes, even the most loving families face unimaginable hardship. When a child in the household became critically ill, their family worked tirelessly to care for every member of the household—human and furry alike. Over time, it became clear that the setup was no longer sustainable. With broken hearts, they made the courageous and loving decision to place Trigger and Amara into rescue, ensuring they would continue to receive the care, attention, and stability they deserve. We made a promise to their family: to find Trigger and Amara forever homes where they would be loved for a lifetime. Now, it's Trigger’s turn to find that next chapter.
Trigger is everything you’d want in a companion: goofy, playful, affectionate, and endlessly endearing. Thanks to his family's dedication, he comes with a solid foundation in socialization and basic manners. With an outgoing personality and a love for the outdoors, Trigger is always ready for the next great adventure—especially if it includes squeaky toys, rope tugs, or balls. He’s a toy fanatic with a big heart and an even bigger sense of fun.
Like his sister, Trigger is treat-motivated and gentle when taking food, which makes training both effective and enjoyable. He already has a few skills in place and is ready to build on that foundation. Training will help Trigger strengthen his bond with his new family and give him the confidence to navigate new experiences. That said, Trigger is a bit more sensitive than his sister. He may need a little extra encouragement and patience when faced with something unfamiliar or overwhelming. With kind, consistent guidance, he blossoms into the happy, loving boy he truly is.
Trigger is looking for an active family who enjoys the outdoors, has a soft spot for goofy antics, and understands the value of patience and consistency. He’s already crate trained and housebroken and, like all new family members, will need a little time to adjust to the rhythms of his new home. In return, Trigger will give you endless kisses, comedic relief, and the kind of loyalty that only comes from a dog who knows what it means to be loved.
