Tate is the happiest, sweetest, and goofiest pup you’ll ever meet! This one-year-old, 40-pound Mountain Cur mix is bursting with love and energy, always wagging his little tail and ready to play. He’s an easygoing guy who just wants to please, making him an absolute joy to have around. One of Tate’s most adorable quirks is his unique way of inviting other dogs to play—he gently pokes them in the chest with his front paw, as if to say, “Tag, you’re it!” It’s the cutest thing ever and never fails to bring a smile to your face. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs, especially those who can match his playful spirit. Though he might occasionally get on an older dog’s nerves with his enthusiasm, he’s just so full of life and fun. Tate is making great progress with house training and does well when taken out regularly. He’s also fully crate trained, seeing his crate as a safe space, especially when that pesky vacuum cleaner comes out! While he’s still learning some basic commands, his eagerness to please makes him a great student. On a leash, he walks well, and while car rides make him a little nervous, he stays calm and quiet in the back seat. An active home with plenty of space to run would be perfect for Tate. He would thrive with a playmate but would also be happy as an only pet, as long as he gets lots of love and exercise. Whether he’s romping in the yard, searching for moles, or curling up with his favorite humans, Tate is sure to bring endless happiness and loyalty to his forever family. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and downright wonderful companion, Tate is ready to steal your heart!
