About Gage

Meet Gage! A spirited one-year-old Mountain Cur/Coonhound mix currently in Chattanooga, TN, Gage radiates joy and playfulness, all wrapped in a stunning brown brindle coat. He's the kind of pup who can instantly brighten your day with his lively spirit and irresistible charm. Gage loves chasing squeaky toys, engaging in tug-of-war, and is perfecting the art of fetch—he's still learning to bring it back, but hey, practice makes perfect! Weighing around 60 pounds, Gage is a medium-sized bundle of love with an athletic build and soulful eyes. He gets along well with other dogs who enjoy a good romp and adores people. Gage thrives on belly rubs, cuddles, and companionship. He's gentle and friendly around everyone he meets, making him a fantastic match for families with children. Gage is crate trained, house-trained, and has a handle on basic commands like sit. He's currently learning stay, come, and down through positive reinforcement and that hound-dog determination. He manages being alone for short periods quite well, fitting into a routine that includes early wakeups and cozy evenings in his kennel. His guardian couldn't schedule his neuter due to limited clinic availability, so he hasn't been neutered yet. His new family will need to arrange for this, but our team is ready to provide guidance and support throughout the process. Gage comes with a starter pack that includes a crate, bed, toys, food, and bowls to help him feel right at home. Are you ready for endless games of tug, affectionate snuggles, and the joy that a young pup like Gage can bring into your life? Start your journey together! Apply now.
