Goomba - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Goomba!

Goomba the Goofy Goober, at your service and reporting for duty 🫡

Goomba is, first and foremost...a massive baby. Despite being three years old and a little under 75lbs, he is a real life Scooby Doo. New things are absolutely nerve-wracking and his first instinct is to skedaddle. His fight or flight response is geared heavily towards "flight". Goomba does not escalate - he looks for the nearest emergency exit.

If you look up the definition of "ghosting", Goomba's picture is there.

Once this big baby warms up though? Certified sweetheart. Big smushy blockhead. He perks up for tennis balls and plushies, will show off his "sit", and give you the big silly open-mouthed smile. As a bonus, he's, like...really pretty and remarkably photogenic. Why is this dog almost the color of champagne? Because he's a luxury, that's why.

Goomba hasn't shown any red flags with other dogs but he is definitely unsure at first so dogs that want to get right up in his face right away will probably make him bolt. He's...pretty much the same with cats. He doesn't seem to know what a growling cat MEANS but he knows he sure as hell wants no part of it. Kids 12+ preferred but exceptions MAY be made for the right family.

Since he is a restricted breed, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
