About Gideon

Hi, my name is Gideon, but my foster parents call me Deon! I came to Save-A-Bull all the way from New Mexico. The journey here was challenging for me, and I was very scared and nervous at first. But I warmed up quickly because my foster family, including my doggy sibling, were patient and helped me feel comfortable and loved. Now, I LOVE playing all day with my foster family! I love chewing on bones and napping on the couch. The snow doesn't bother me at all, and I'm getting the hang of potty training pretty fast. My foster parents are obsessed with my quirks and say I'm one of the cutest and dorkiest pups they've ever met! They love watching me trot around on our walks, laughing at how cute and silly I am, and taking goofy pictures. I've got a lot of energy and have gone for a few jogs; I love to run and it feels like I can keep going and going! But afterwards, I love to crash and cuddle on the couch. My fosters always talk about how I'm a well-mannered, easy puppy and don't chew on anything I'm not supposed to, and I rarely make a peep! I'm also doing pretty well with crate training, especially if I've had time to run and play beforehand. I'm a curious soul with a wiggly little body; my attention moves a mile a minute, and I get very excited for treats! So, I need some patience with training, but I am eager to spend quality time learning. Food and dedicated attention will motivate me big time! I'm so ready to keep learning how to be the best dog I can be. I still get a little shy around new people and haven't met many kids, but I know with patience and practice, I will be a social butterfly! I sleep like a rock right in the middle of my foster parents every night and don't move until they make me get out of bed to go outside. I love cuddling in bed with them, rolling around, stretching, and giving little kisses. A few cats live at my foster home, and I wish they would want to play with me! Sometimes I get a little too excited with them, but I redirect really well. Overall, I want someone who wants to play with me, show me love and patience, and can be my best friend/companion day in and day out. A doggy sibling would be nice to show me the ropes and help me feel comfortable in new environments. I know I'll be a loyal and fun part of your family, and I can't wait to meet you!

Ideal Home

I would thrive in a home that enjoys playing and can provide plenty of love and patience. A doggy sibling would be nice to help me learn and feel comfortable. I get a little shy around new people and haven't met many kids, so a home that understands I need time to warm up would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns mentioned.

Training & Support

I'm doing pretty well with potty training and crate training, especially after exercise. I get excited for treats and learn best with food and dedicated attention. I can get a little too excited with cats, but I redirect well. I need patience as my attention moves quickly.
