My name is Trigger, and I need a home | Pet of the Week

Trigger is a 6-year-old male dog, German shorthair pointer-mix (ID #A535031). Trigger is an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home. He is also a very smart dog and already knows how to sit, stay and come. Trigger is full of energy and loves to play. He tends to calm down more when the people around him stay calm, and he does best when he has lots of exercise and something to keep his mind busy. Trigger does not get along with other dogs and will do best as the only dog. He also wouldn’t do well in dog parks or other off-leash dog areas. Trigger would do best in an adult-only home with previous pointer experience and with no other pets as he is a hunter at heart and his instinct is to chase and catch. He sometimes doesn’t like to give his prize back; he can get very possessive. Trigger is neutered, current on vaccinations and micro-chipped. His $200 adoption fee also includes a free visit to the veterinarian of your choice and 30 days of pet insurance through Trupanion.
