About Gideon

Meet Gideon, a lovable Lab Mix weighing in at 58 lbs. This kind-hearted boy was once on the euthanasia list in Texas, but he’s been given a second chance and is looking for a special person to help him flourish. Gideon is currently in foster care, where he is slowly learning to trust. He loves snuggling in bed with his foster mom and making new dog friends. However, he’s not the type to rush up to strangers for attention. Gideon needs a calm and patient adopter who gives him the time to adjust at his own pace. Underneath his initial fear lies a dog who deserves kindness and security. Gideon is ready to discover that love can last forever, but he’ll require a nurturing family to guide him through this journey. If you’re willing to work patiently for his trust, you'll be rewarded as you watch him blossom into a confident and happy canine. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and both kennel and potty trained. Plus, he gets along well with other dogs. Gideon is currently located in Chambersburg, PA.
