About Gideon

Gideon is a roughly 8-year-old, 60-pound boxer with a face that tells the tale of resilience. Rescued from the streets after living there for years, he arrived emaciated but ready to lend a paw to the puppies of a fellow rescue dog, proving he's a devoted companion. Since then, he's gained weight, completed heartworm treatment, and had a benign mass removed. Now, he's eager for a home where he can truly relax. His desires are simple: soft things like sofas and dog beds. Imagine him happily curled up, perhaps in a cashmere onesie if someone took the time to measure him. Gideon adores people and enjoys napping nearby. While he gets along well with other dogs and cats, he appreciates a calmer environment. Loud noises and boisterous play aren't his style; after raising his own pups, he prefers a gentle approach. Gideon is ready to be the easygoing addition to a home where love is abundant and nap times are respected. Life has been tough on him, and he deserves all the affection you can give. He thrives in a setting where kindness is key, and he’ll repay you with his sweet demeanor. Gideon is located in Nashville but can travel to you. If you're ready to give him the comfortable home he deserves, apply now!
