About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a 95-pound German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthday of January 10, 2022. He's a big dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart, ready to shower his forever family with love. Big Boy and his brother were found abandoned, and thankfully, they were rescued and brought to safety. Now, Big Boy is looking for his happy ending! He's an active, strong, and fun-loving companion who thrives with space to roam and a human to bond with. He's made friends with people of all ages, including children, at adoption events, though proper introductions are recommended due to his size. Big Boy is a sweetheart who enjoys playing, giving, and receiving affection. If you're seeking a loyal friend for adventures or a furry shadow to follow you around, Big Boy is your guy! He's settling into rescue life and eagerly awaiting his forever home. He would do best in an active household that understands larger breeds and can provide him with the structure, exercise, and love he deserves.
