About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a handsome German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his frame! At approximately 95 lbs and born around January 10, 2022, Big Boy is bursting with love to give. He and his brother were found abandoned, but now Big Boy is ready for his well-deserved happy ending.

Big Boy is an active and fun-loving companion who adores having space to play and a person to bond with. He’s made friends with kids and adults alike at adoption events and is a sweetheart who enjoys playing, giving love, and receiving it in return. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow to join you on adventures or just to relax with, Big Boy is your guy. He's patiently waiting for his forever family in rescue life.

Ideal Home

Big Boy would thrive in an active home with an understanding of larger breeds. He needs structure, exercise, and plenty of love to flourish. While he did great with kids at an event, proper introductions are recommended as he's still learning his size.

Ongoing Health

Big Boy is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Big Boy is kennel and potty trained. He's friendly with dogs and is described as a "Great Sweetheart" who loves people.
