About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a handsome German Shepherd mix with a personality as big as his frame! This energetic and loving boy is about 2 years old and weighs a solid 95 lbs. Big Boy and his brother were found abandoned, and thankfully, they were brought to safety. Now, Big Boy is ready to find his forever family and leave his past behind. He's a fun-loving dog who thrives on activity and forming strong bonds with his people. He's made friends with kids and adults alike at adoption events, though due to his size, proper introductions with children are recommended. Big Boy is a true sweetheart who enjoys playing, showering his family with affection, and receiving love in return. If you're seeking a loyal companion for adventures or simply a devoted shadow, Big Boy is your guy.

Ideal Home

An active home that understands and can provide structure for a larger breed would be ideal for Big Boy. He craves exercise, space to move, and a loving family to bond with.

Ongoing Health

Big Boy is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Big Boy is kennel and potty trained. He's still learning to be aware of his size, so gentle guidance during introductions is key. He's a quick learner and eager to please, making him a great candidate for continued training.
