Meet Gideon!
Gideon is a happy and inquisitive 5-year-old beagle/Bassett hound mix, and he is settling in very nicely to his foster home while looking forward to his forever home.
Some facts about Gideon:
-Crate training is going well! He sleeps in his crate at night and when his foster mom goes to work. He usually doesn't fuss at all (and if he does, it's very short). No potty accidents at all in his crate! He is quite rambunctious when he comes out of his crate, mostly because he is so happy to see you again!
-Gideon walks well on his leash. True to his hound nature, Gideon likes taking pit stops for sniffing all the new smells in Minnesota!
-Gideon gets along well with his (grumpy) 5-year-old foster brother. Gideon tries to initiate play, but his foster brother has has not reciprocated so far. Gideon would love to be in a home with another playful dog (or human!).
-Gideon is very respectful of the plants (flowers and veggies) in the yard. He hasn't pulled up or torn down anything yet! Mostly, he likes to sniff around the yard and look for people and their pets to walk by.
-Gideon is learning how to go up and down stairs in the house, and he is getting better at stairs quite quickly! He already does well on short outdoor deck steps.
-Gideon is learning how to play with toys. Poor guy probably never had them before, but he has many to choose from now and he's figuring them out. :'-)
-Gideon did GREAT during his first bath! He was a little scared at first, but then he calmed down.
-Gideon LOVES to put his front paws on your lap and stare lovingly into your eyes as you pet him. He could be a great cuddle-bug.
Please consider making this sweet & silly pup a part of your home!
*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.
*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
