About Gideon

Gideon is a joyful, approximately 8-year-old boxer who weighs around 60 pounds. Life hasn’t always been easy for him, having lived on the streets for quite some time before being rescued. Despite his tough past, he remained devoted to his family and even helped raise some lively puppies. Now that he’s out of survival mode, Gideon is ready for a home where he can enjoy the simple pleasures—like lounging on soft sofas and dog beds. He has a heartwarming affection for people and adores napping close to them. Great with both dogs and cats, Gideon does appreciate a little tranquility; he prefers calm encounters over chaos. This gentle soul has been through heartworm treatment and had a benign mass removed, bouncing back at last. He deserves all the cuddles and relaxation life has to offer. If you believe in giving a sweet, dignified dog like Gideon the comfort he craves, consider bringing him into your life. Having a good sofa wouldn't hurt, either. Gideon is in Nashville but can travel to loving homes across much of the eastern United States. Click apply to start the adoption process.
