Gideon Beau invitation to play comes with the cutest little routine: tappy feet, a quick zoom one way, then right back again, all to convince a dog friend to join the fun. It is ridiculously cute, and just a little preview of the silly, sweet boy you’ll get to know. Between his playful antics, his love of toys, and the cuddles he saves for his favorite people, this handsome little guy has plenty of ways to capture your heart. Watch his video and fall in love with this little cutie: Gideon is approximately 8 months old and currently weighs 12 pounds. Our best guess is that he’s a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, but with animal rescue, breed is always a bit of a mystery! What we do know is that this little boy has plenty of sweetness and silliness packed into his tiny body. Gideon can be shy when he first meets you, so give him a little time to settle in and get to know you. Gentle encouragement, kind words, and tasty treats help him feel comfortable enough to let his personality shine. Before you know it, you’ll have a cute little boy running around your house, showing off his toys, making you laugh, and scooting close for affection. Other dogs are absolutely Gideon’s kind of company! He is fostered in a multi-dog household with both bigger dogs and little ones his size, and he loves having buddies to play with. His adorable back-and-forth zoomies and little tapping feet make his invitations pretty hard to resist. Imagine watching him bounce around with a canine sibling, turning an ordinary afternoon into their own little playdate. A home with a friendly, playful dog would give him a buddy to share all that fun with. Gideon also loves toys and is happy to carry a favorite around or entertain himself with a little solo playtime. He is very food-motivated and takes treats from your hand with the softest, gentlest touch. Those tasty rewards are a lovely way to get acquainted and give him something to look forward to as he learns your routine. Once he feels at home, Gideon is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves cuddling and being close to his favorite humans. Picture little paws pattering through your house, a toy proudly carried into the room, and this precious boy settling beside you after a good round of play. Give him a little time in the beginning, and you’ll get to discover all the sweetness and silliness that make Gideon so easy to love. Apply for Gideon today: Questions?
