About Gideon

Meet Gideon, an adorable Terrier mix with a splash of Poodle! This charming boy, with his wiry coat and friendly demeanor, is about 6 to 9 months old and ready to win hearts. Gideon was found wandering the streets of South Louisiana, taken in by caring neighbors who were feeding him. Now, he's got a second chance with Dante’s Hope. He loves people and is great with other dogs, though he can be a bit bossy initially—just a touch of shyness. Once he feels at home, his lovely personality really stands out. Neutered and vaccinated, Gideon is fully prepared for his forever home. He’s already faced the uncertainty of being unwanted and deserves a family that will cherish him. Could you be the one to give Gideon the happy ending he’s been waiting for? Ready to meet this sweet boy? Click apply to start the adoption process.
