Meet Big Boy! This handsome German Shepherd mix, estimated to be born around January 10, 2022, and weighing 95 lbs, has a personality as big as his frame. Big Boy and his brother were sadly abandoned, left with nothing but a chewed rope. Thankfully, they were brought to safety, and now Big Boy is ready to find his forever home. He's an energetic, strong, and joyful dog who thrives with plenty of space to roam and a loving human to connect with. He's made friends with people of all ages, including children, at adoption events, though he's still learning about his own size. Big Boy is a sweet and fun companion who loves to play, give affection, and receive it in return. He's patiently waiting for a family to share his love with, and he'd be happiest in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and love he deserves.

Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

These are ground transports using third-party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.
- Adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.
- All adopters are invited to join our Alum Pupdates Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!
