Trigger Age: 5 Years Qualities: Trigger is a happy healthy five year-old Black & Brown Beagle/Hound mix. He is one of the sweetest, gentlest hounds you will ever meet. His favorite thing to do is to give hugs and kisses. His second favorite is to chase a tennis ball around the yard. He’s also fascinated by the light reflecting off your phone or tablet and will stalk it for hours. Trigger loves meal time and does a cute little dance when you’re preparing his bowl. Like most hounds he will eat really fast, so a slow feeder bowl is recommended. Trigger is a major love bug and wants nothing more than to be snuggles. He’s great with kids, other dogs and cats. Trigger would do best to be adopted with Kimber, his “sister” or at least in the home with one other dog. Fee: $150.00 Southern Arizona Beagle Rescue, 520-247-7720, or www.soazbeaglerescue.com.
