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. This energetic and loving boy is estimated to be born around January 10, 2022, and weighs a sturdy 95 lbs. Big Boy and his brother were found abandoned, a sad beginning that makes his readiness for a loving home even more heartwarming. He's a fun-loving dog who enjoys being active and forms strong bonds with his people. Big Boy is a social butterfly, having done well with people and children at adoption events, though proper introductions are recommended due to his size. If you're looking for a loyal companion for adventures or just a furry shadow, Big Boy is your guy. He's a sweet soul eager for structure, exercise, and plenty of love.

Ideal Home

An active home that understands larger breeds and can provide the structure, exercise, and love Big Boy craves. While he's great with kids, proper introductions are needed due to his size.

Ongoing Health

Big Boy is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.
