About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, also known as Great Boy Sweets! This handsome 95 lb German Shepherd mix, born around January 10, 2022, has a personality as big as his frame and an even bigger heart. Big Boy and his brother were found abandoned, a heartbreaking sight that led us to bring them into our care. Now, Big Boy is ready for his happily ever after. He's an active, strong, and joyful dog who thrives with plenty of space to roam and a person to connect with. He charmed everyone he met at a recent adoption event, including children! While he's generally aware of his size, gentle introductions with younger children are recommended. Big Boy is a sweetheart who loves to play, share affection, and receive it in return. If you're seeking a devoted companion for adventures or simply a loyal shadow, he's your guy. He's adapting well to rescue life and eagerly awaits his forever family. An active household that understands large breeds and can provide structure, exercise, and love will be his perfect match.

Ideal Home

Big Boy would do best in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and love he craves. While he made many friends at a recent event, including children, proper introductions with kids are needed as he isn't always aware of his size.

Ongoing Health

Big Boy is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Big Boy is kennel and potty trained.

Application Details:

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

Transporation

Big Boy is located in Houston, Texas. Transport is included in the adoption fee and may vary in pickup locations, including nearby towns or states. We coordinate with ground transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states. Adopters can track their dog's journey using the Life360 app and will receive updates from the transport service. Facebook chats are also available for tracking updates.
