About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, also known as Great Boy Sweets! This handsome German Shepherd mix is about 2 years old and weighs 95 pounds. Big Boy lives up to his name with his large frame, but he has an even bigger heart full of love to give. He was found abandoned with his brother and is now ready for a loving forever home.

Big Boy is an active, strong, and fun-loving dog who enjoys having space to play and a person to bond with. He's made friends with both people and other animals, including children, at adoption events. While he's generally aware of his surroundings, he's still learning just how big he is, so gentle introductions with children are recommended. He's a sweet and fun companion who thrives on attention, play, and affection. If you're looking for a loyal buddy for adventures or just to relax with, Big Boy is your guy! He's a loyal companion waiting patiently for his forever family. He would do best in an active home that understands large breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and love he needs.
