About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweetie

Meet Big Boy, a handsome 95 lb German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthday of January 10, 2022. Big Boy lives up to his name with his impressive size, but behind that sturdy frame is an even bigger heart. He and his brother were found abandoned, with nothing but a chewed rope, and thankfully, they were brought to safety. Now, Big Boy is ready to find his forever family and the happy ending he truly deserves.

Big Boy is a fun-loving, active, and strong dog who adores having space to roam and a human to bond with. He's made friends with both two-legged and four-legged pals, including children, at adoption events. While he's generally aware of his surroundings, proper introductions with young children are recommended as he's still learning just how big he is. This sweet boy is a true sweetheart who thrives on interaction, enjoying playtime, giving love, and receiving it in return. He's a delightful companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend for adventures, daily walks, or simply to be by your side. Big Boy is patiently waiting in rescue for his perfect match, and he'd be happiest in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and abundant love he craves. He's got a big dog personality and an even bigger capacity for LOVE!
