About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a handsome German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthday of January 10, 2022, and weighing in at 95 lbs. Big Boy lives up to his name with his impressive size, but beneath that large frame beats an even bigger heart. He and his brother were found abandoned, with ropes around their necks, and thankfully, our rescue was able to bring them to safety. Now, Big Boy is ready to find his forever family and the happy ending he so deserves.

This energetic and joyful boy thrives on having space to explore and a loving person to connect with. He's made friends with both two-legged and four-legged companions, including children, at adoption events. While he's still learning to gauge his own size, proper introductions with children are recommended. Big Boy is a true sweetheart who loves to play, give affection, and receive it in return. If you're searching for a devoted companion for walks, adventures, or simply a loyal shadow, he's the perfect fit. He's adjusting well to rescue life and eagerly awaits his forever home. He would flourish in an active household that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and love he craves.

Ideal Home

Big Boy would do best in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and love he craves. He enjoys playing with kids but proper introductions are needed as he is still learning his size.
