About Gage

Meet Gage! This spirited one-year-old Mountain Cur/Coonhound mix is bringing joy to Chattanooga, TN, with his lively personality and beautiful brown brindle coat. Gage has a knack for brightening your day; his joyful energy is infectious! Whether he's chasing squeaky toys, engaging in tug-of-war, or figuring out fetch (he's still mastering the "bring it back" part), he approaches life with enthusiasm and charm. Gage weighs approximately 60 pounds and has an athletic build, along with soulful eyes that reflect his eagerness to bond. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs who enjoy playful romps and has a gentle demeanor that makes him ideal for families with children. Always ready for some belly rubs or cuddles, he's content just being your loyal companion. Fully crate trained and house-trained, Gage is already picking up basic commands like sit, and he's learning stay and come with positive reinforcement. He's fine being alone for short periods and appreciates a routine that includes outdoor play and cozy evenings. While Gage is not yet neutered due to scheduling conflicts, his adoption will require this step, and our team can help guide you through it. Additionally, he comes with a starter pack that includes a crate, bed, toys, food, and more to help him settle into his new home. Ready for endless games of tug, sweet snuggles, and the delightful chaos that a young pup like Gage brings? Reach out and make Gage part of your family!
