About Savage

Savage was rescued from the mountains in Reliance, TN, in March 2023. He was obviously abandoned there so my fiance and I brought him home. At the time I had 2 other neutered male dogs, 15yo lab/boxer & 5yo pyr/retriever mix. He got along great with older dog, who passed away abt a month later, took about 6 Mos and getting neutered to get along with 5yo. When taken to vet they were pretty positive he is a fullbred catahoula. PROS: extremely loyal, knows commands 'sit', 'stay', 'come', pretty easily trained, walks well on leash, LOVES the outdoors, did well trail hiking, loves to swim, kennel trained-but best make sure it's secured bc he will break out, ALWAYS ready for a good petting/lovins, CONS: high energy, bit stubborn, takes a while to become comfortable with new humans/dogs, has shown small prey drive, but we have had chicks around him for months and he's more curious than anything, has shown high-profile toy aggression with other dogs, i.e. Kong ball, pull-toy, but shared bones easily with other dog, We would love to keep Savage, but we are moving into a school bus soon and are a retired couple in our 40s. We just do not have the energy to keep up with him and give him the space and stimulation he needs.
