Story
Meet Gage!
A spirited one-year-old Mountain Cur/Coonhound mix currently in Chattanooga, TN, whose essence is a lively mix of heart and playfulness wrapped in a stunning brown brindle coat.
Gage is the kind of pup who can instantly brighten your day with his joyful energy and irresistible charm! His favorite hobbies include chasing squeaky toys, playing tug-of-war like it’s a competitive sport, and perfecting the art of fetch, though he’s still working on the "bring it back" part (but hey, practice makes perfect, right?).
Gage is a medium-sized bundle of love, weighing in around 60 pounds, with an athletic build and the soulful eyes of a dog who’s ready to bond deeply with his new family. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, especially those who enjoy a good romp! He absolutely adores people and is always game for belly rubs, cuddles, or just sitting beside you like a loyal little shadow. He’s been gentle and friendly around everyone he’s met, and he seems like he’d be a great match for families with children, too.
He’s crate trained, house-trained, and doing great with basic commands like “sit.” He’s currently learning “stay,” “come,” and “down” with positive reinforcement and a bit of that hound-dog determination. He handles being alone for short periods like a champ and has a routine that includes early wakeups, outdoor time, and cozy evenings in his kennel or bed.
Gage's guardian was unable to schedule his neuter due to limited availability at their local clinic, so he has not yet been neutered. His adoption will require that he be neutered by his new family, and our team can provide guidance and resources to support that process. Gage will bring along his personal starter pack: crate, bed, blankets, toys, food, and bowls, everything he needs to settle in and start his next chapter!
Are you ready for endless games of tug, affectionate snuggles, and the happy chaos that only a joyful young pup like Gage can bring into your life? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and say hello to your next best friend!
