About Gideon

Gideon is an approximately 8-year-old, 60-pound boxer with a face that tells a story of resilience. Rescued from the streets, he once lived as an emaciated stray but never abandoned his responsibilities. He helped raise puppies alongside their mother, proving he's committed and loving. After receiving care, he has regained his health, completed heartworm treatment, and had a benign mass removed. Now, Gideon is looking for a cozy home where he can enjoy soft things—think sofas and dog beds. He dreams of a life filled with gentle affection, ideally paired with a companion who understands the value of a good nap. Gideon loves people and is good with other dogs and cats. However, he prefers a calm environment—no screaming or jumping dogs for this gentleman. He’s an easygoing boy who thrives on companionship but appreciates a little decorum. He has weathered enough storms and deserves to relax in peace. Gideon is ready to share his heart with someone who values his gentle spirit as much as he does. If you’re interested in adopting this fantastic dog, please apply soon. Your new best friend is waiting!
