• “My name is Trigger! I’m a 2yr old purebred German Shepherd from Germany. I prefer the cold but mom took me to Oklahoma and my allergies are the worst out here. I love playing fetch but have a short attention span so I find interest in new things and forget what I was doing. I love swimming but I suck at it so I just like getting my toes wet. I love sprinklers and go crazy when it snows. My mom calls me the sock burglar and I like finding objects I shouldn’t have and making my mom chase me while she yells at me to drop it. I’m very stubborn and spoiled.“
