About Trigger

Trigger is a high-energy Border Collie who came into the shelter when his previous home situation changed. Like most Border Collies, he thrives on activity and has herding instincts, including nipping and plenty of drive to move. Trigger has lived with cats before and gets along with other dogs. A fenced yard is a plus, as he really needs room to burn energy—think daily walks, active play, and even agility. He isn’t the right fit for homes with children. For someone familiar with herding breeds, especially their boundaries and handling, Trigger could be a rewarding partner. He requires an experienced adopter who knows how to work with his breed-specific needs and understand when he needs space. If you’re looking for an energetic, smart companion ready for a job, Trigger might be your guy. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
