Friendly big love bug who breaks the unfair stereo type of pitbulls. Gideon is well mannered and his smile and cuteness will melt your heart. When we found him he was emaciated from being on the streets and friendly you could tell he was someones pet at some point and cared for. We had no luck finding his owners and we didnt feel right bringing him to a shelter knowing how pitbulls are seen and treated. Gideon has been a wonderful addition to our family he loves cats dogs people kids ect. However we had to move and because of his breed we are no longer aloud to have him with us. We don't want to see him in cage or be cruely treated or euthanized because he is a pitbull. Gideon is short and stocky a mini gentle giant incredibly friendly playful and loving. Gideon would thrive anywhere he is loved and does well with other pets and kids.
