Meet Gumby – the chocolatey sweetheart with a heart as big as his paws!

At 2 years old and nearly 69 lbs, Gumby is a gentle Doberman mix who’s soft in all the best ways—soft eyes, soft heart, and soft steps as he learns to navigate the world. Gumby has some visual impairements and may bump into things now and then, but he’s proven to be incredibly resilient and adaptable. With a little guidance and a lot of love, he moves through life with quiet confidence and charm.

Gumby is skittish around sudden sounds or movements (likely due to not being able to see well), but his gentle nature always shines through. He seeks out affection and closeness from people and has been nothing but sweet in his dog playgroups, where he’s shown polite, respectful play with other pups. He started off unsure but now trots around with friends and takes everything in stride—literally!

He’s a low-energy cuddlebug who’s happiest when he’s with someone kind and calm. He may do well with a mellow dog friend or as a solo pup soaking up all your attention. A quiet home with patient humans will help this sensitive boy thrive.

If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion who just wants to love and be loved, come meet Gumby at Oakland Animal Services. He may not see the world, but he sure knows how to feel it—and he’s ready to feel it with you.
