About Gideon

Gideon is the crooner of the countryside: a five-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix with the energy of an action hero and the heart of a wanderer. He’s built for the outdoors and comes alive in wide open spaces — think rural, quiet, plenty of room to run, and a horizon to chase. Ball games are a daily ritual for him; just don’t expect him to tire out before you do. He’s not the city type and prefers places where he can stretch his legs, soak up fresh air, and have a shot at a front porch nap after an energetic singalong to the sunset. A home with other dogs suits him fine, but cats are not on his playlist, and he’ll need a feline-free household. Gideon’s people are his anchor — he’d be happiest with someone regularly at home and willing to make him part of their everyday routine. He isn’t one to keep quiet if he feels left out and will let you know in no uncertain terms that he’s got something to say. House trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines, he’s ready to settle in with a new best friend who values loyalty, companionship, and the occasional serenade. Your porch, his song.
