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. He's a big dog with an even bigger heart, and he's ready to shower his new family with love. Big Boy and his brother were found abandoned, left with nothing but chewed ropes. Thankfully, they were brought to safety, and now Big Boy is seeking the happy ending he truly deserves.

This energetic, strong, and fun-loving boy thrives on having space to roam and a person to connect with. He enjoyed meeting new people and other dogs at a recent adoption event, and he even charmed some kids! Because he's not always aware of his size, proper introductions are recommended for households with children. Big Boy is a sweetheart who loves to be by your side, whether it's for playtime, cuddling, or simply being your loyal shadow. He's patiently waiting in rescue for an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and affection he craves.

Training & Support
