About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a handsome German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his frame! This 95-pound bundle of love, estimated to be born around January 10, 2022, was sadly found abandoned with his brother, a testament to his resilience and readiness for a loving forever home. Big Boy is an energetic and joyful dog who absolutely thrives when he has space to roam and a human to form a strong bond with. He charmed everyone, including children and other dogs, at a recent adoption event, proving his friendly nature. While he's still learning about his own size, proper introductions with children will ensure he's a perfect fit for any family. He's the ultimate loyal companion, ready to join you on adventures or simply be your devoted shadow.

Ideal Home

Big Boy would do best in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and affection he craves.

Ongoing Health

Big Boy is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

He is kennel and potty trained. While he's a well-behaved boy, he's still learning about his size, so gentle guidance during introductions with children is recommended. He's also eligible for discounted training services through Curbed Behaviors Dog Training within 30-90 days of adoption.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • Big Boy is dog-friendly.

Transportation

Big Boy is located in Houston, Texas. Transport is included in the adoption fee and can be arranged to your state or a neighboring state. You'll be able to track the transport vehicle via the Life360 app and receive updates.
