About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a 95 lb German Shepherd Mix with an estimated birthday of 1/10/2022. This big boy has a big personality and an even bigger heart. He and his brother were heartbreakingly dumped at our rescue, and we couldn't leave them behind. Now, Big Boy is ready for the loving home he deserves. He's an active, strong, and fun-loving dog who thrives with room to roam and a person to bond with. Big Boy made friends with humans and dogs alike at a recent adoption event, and he enjoys being with people where he can play, give love, and receive it in return. He's a sweet and fun companion who would be a great match for an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the exercise, structure, and love he craves.

Ideal Home

An active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with plenty of exercise, structure, and love. While he made friends at an event and is good with kids, proper introductions are needed as he's not quite aware of his size.

Ongoing Health

Big Boy is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Big Boy is kennel and potty trained.
