Gideon (GA) is a neutered male Shih Tzu mix rescued in Georgia. Our veterinary partner estimates that Gideon is 10 years old at the time of intake in February 2022. Gideon is good with people who respect his space and he's good with other dogs, but cats--not so much! He is an adorable, albeit grumpy, senior boy who lives life on his own terms--he will let you know when you are violating his person or his space. He doesn't like cats and he doesn't like to be picked up; he likes to have his back rubbed, but if you hit the wrong spot, watch out! Gideon will do best in a home with snarky dog experience, where he can be independent, and if there are children they should be older and capable of respecting Gideon and his space. This guy's rough life has shaped him, and he deserves to spend the rest of his years in a loving, forever home with his special person who understands him and lets Gideon be Gideon. If you are Gideon's special person, please apply online to adopt Gideon (GA) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. All pets are current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter. Gideon's adoption fee is $300.
