About Goomba

Meet Goomba! Goomba the Goofy Goober is ready to charm you with his quirky personality. This three-year-old pup, weighing in at about 75 lbs, resembles a real-life Scooby Doo. New experiences can be overwhelming for him, causing him to shy away; his instinct is definitely to find the nearest exit. If you look up "ghosting" in the dictionary, you’ll find Goomba’s adorable face. However, once this big baby feels comfortable, he transforms into a cuddly sweetheart. He perks up for tennis balls and plush toys, shows off his "sit" command, and flashes a goofy open-mouthed grin. With a beautifully unique champagne-colored coat, Goomba is as photogenic as they come! He has shown no aggression towards other dogs, although he’s a bit timid at first. Dogs that rush towards him might scare him off. The same goes for cats; he prefers to keep his distance from those fuzzy creatures. Kids aged 12 and older are ideal, though he might make exceptions for the right family. Since Goomba is a restricted breed, prospective adopters must own or live in a family-owned home.
