An adorable chihuahua with ears the same color as his namesake, the perils of ignoring Goomba are as dire as those in the Mushroom Kingdom. Of course, he comes not as an enemy but as a friend; all Goomba wants to do is play with you, but he can become quite vocal if he cannot find a playmate. Goomba would do best in a home where someone will be around (and ready to play with him) most of the day. In exchange for being the apple of your eye, and maybe some treats, he’s willing to provide all of the love, cuddles, and chihuahua kisses that you could ever ask for. Are you looking for the other half to your dynamic duo? It could be Goomba!

Goomba is just the silliest boy! There are lots of things Goomba loves. Goomba loves snacks. Goomba loves walks. Goomba loves to play. Goomba loves humans, and Goomba loves attention. He’s the type of dog who will always be delighted to see you (but would be even more thrilled if he got to come along to wherever you were in the first place). He has plenty of energy and is such a bouncy kiddo, but once he gets his zoomies out, he would love to fall asleep in a comfy lap and get all the cuddles. If you’re looking for a senior dog who acts like a puppy, Goomba is your guy!
Here’s some notes from his foster:
A perfect day for Rusty/Goomba would be a couple long walks and playing with his ball. He loves mealtime and just being with his person. He complains a bit if you leave the house, but not for long. He quickly settles on his bed and is content. When you return, he’ll dance circles around you. He loves his person and seems to do what you tell him to. I usually ask him to sit and stay before he gets his meals, and he does despite how excited he is to enjoy what’s in his bowl. He has a big personality and skip in his step. A lovely pooch.
