About Trigger

Meet Trigger, part of Tonya's litter! He and his nine siblings were rescued from an abandoned home, where their mother was caring for them. These adorable puppies are a mix of Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog, and they're thriving in their foster home. Now at just 7 weeks old, Trigger is outgoing, cute, and ready for adventure. He is friendly and gets along well with children, cats, and other dogs. As the pups are still too young to be spayed or neutered, they are available in a foster-to-adopt status. This means you'll take Trigger home while agreeing to complete the necessary surgeries later, with a $50 voucher provided to assist with the cost. An additional $150 check is required as a guarantee for the surgery, which will be held in Trigger’s records until it is completed. His adoption fee is set at $300, which covers his vaccinations and microchip. Trigger can't wait to meet his forever family and bring joy to your life!
