Description:

Trigg is a very sweet boy who is good with other dogs and loves his people. He loves to swim and play and is very excited for his daily walks.

Unfortunately, Trigg has "bad hips" which is common in some German Shepherds. MARS is currently working with an orthopedic surgeon to determine the plan of action for making this boy better. Trigg's currently treatment plan includes weight loss, pain management and possible denervation of his hip or hips. MARS will remain alongside whomever adopts Trigg and will work with them to keep him healthy. If the denervation surgery is required, MARS will cover all expenses.

Because the pain in Trigg's hind-quarters is so extreme, he cannot go to a home with small children who may accidently touch him there or fall on him.

If you think you can provide Trigg a quiet home to relax and recover from his treatments (paid for by MARS) and provide him with all the love and attention he deserves, please click on the adopt button below. He will make a great pet for any family for many years to come.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
