About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a handsome German Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This 95-lb sweetheart was found abandoned with his brother, but now he's ready for his forever home. Big Boy is an active, fun-loving dog who enjoys being with people and thrives with plenty of room to move. He's made friends with kids, dogs, and adults alike at adoption events, though he's still learning his size and proper introductions are recommended for younger children. Big Boy is looking for an active home that can provide him with structure, exercise, and lots of love. He's a loyal companion who would love to join you on adventures or simply be your shadow.
