About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a handsome German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthday of January 10, 2022, and weighing in at 95 lbs. Big Boy lives up to his name with his impressive size, but behind that large frame is an even larger heart. He and his brother were heartbreakingly abandoned, left with ropes around their necks. Thankfully, they were brought to safety, and now Big Boy is ready to find his forever home.

Big Boy is an active, strong, and fun-loving dog who thrives when he has room to move and a person to bond with. He did great at a recent adoption event, making friends with both people and other dogs, including children. While he's a sweetheart, he's still learning how big he is, so proper introductions with children are recommended. He loves to play, give love, and receive love, making him a truly fun and sweet companion. If you're looking for a loyal friend to join you on adventures or just be your shadow, Big Boy is your guy. He's waiting patiently for his forever family and would do best in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with structure, exercise, and plenty of love.

Ideal Home
