Gideon's Story

Hi, I’m Gideon—and I’m basically your new best friend in a 49-pound, wiggly, cuddle-loving package. I’m a 3-year-old fella who adores people and truly thrives on being part of the action. If you’re sitting, I’m nearby. If you’re walking around, I’m probably following you. I live for back rubs, cuddles, playtime, and just hanging out in the same room as my humans. Being close is my love language.<br/><br/>I’m super social with other dogs and have lived happily with one my own age—playing, sleeping, and coexisting like pros. I’ve met people of all ages and do well with adults, teens, and kids. I can be a bit jumpy at first (I get excited!), but I’m affectionate, gentle, and happy to soak up all the love. I’ve got the kind of easygoing, social temperament that can do well in a home with kids, other dogs, and even cats!!!<br/><br/>I’m potty trained, crate trained when my humans are away, and I don’t mind my crate at all—especially if you’re gone less than a few hours. When guests come over, though? Please don’t crate me. I need to say hi and get petted. It’s very important business! I enjoy getting my energy out with a good run or walk—30 minutes to an hour is perfect for me. I might chase birds on walks (they’re suspicious), but otherwise I’m a pretty easy, happy guy who just wants a family to love. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a cuddle buddy, and a dog who genuinely enjoys everyone—kids, dogs, and humans alike—I think we might be a perfect match!<br/><br/>Our organization is foster based which means that we really know and understand our dogs personalities as our volunteers live each day in their house with our rescued dogs. Our fosters are available to answer your questions and will give you all the details you need to know about our dogs such as if they are shy, are they outgoing, what is their energy level, are they couch potatoes, love bugs, kissers, lickers, so please do apply and ask our fosters questions - this will ensure you find your pur-fect match in our rescue!<br/><br/><br/>***IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FOSTERING OR ADOPTING GIDEON, PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AT WWW.MANYPAWSGLOBALRESCUE.ORG***

Many Paws Global Rescue Inc's Adoption Policy
Petfinder Inquiries are NOT an adoption application. If you are interested in adopting, you must fill out an application. After receiving an application via https://manypawsglobalrescue.org/applications-for-adoption/ , we call the potential adopter and explain our process and answer any questions they may have. After the initial call, we then call three personal references, vet reference and landlord (if applicable). Please understand that some animals will get several applications and our main priority is to find the BEST fit for each animal. We do not fully approve applicants until after the meet and great. Due to COVID, we have had to alter our home visits and are hosting calls via Zoom to see the home. In addition, we "Google map" to see what the traffic flow is around the home. After you submit an application, one of the Many Paws member will reach out to you via phone. If we feel the applicant may be a good fit, we set up a time for a meet and greet. Only after the meet and greet, if all goes well, we will then approve applicant and will finalize adoption contracts and fees.
