About BIG BOY a.k.a Great Boy Sweets

Meet Big Boy, a 95 lb German Shepherd Mix with an estimated birthday of January 10, 2022. Big Boy lives up to his name with his large frame, but behind that is an even bigger heart. He and his brother were found abandoned, each with a chewed rope around their necks, and thankfully, they were brought to safety. Now, Big Boy is ready for the loving forever home he deserves.

This handsome boy is active, strong, and fun-loving. He thrives when he has space to move and a person to bond with. He's made lots of friends, both two-legged and four-legged, at adoption events, and has even done well with kids, though proper introductions are recommended as he's still learning how big he is. Big Boy is a sweetheart who loves to be with his people, play, and give and receive affection. If you're seeking a loyal companion for adventures or just a shadow to follow you around, he's your guy. He's waiting patiently for his forever family and would do best in an active home that understands larger breeds and can provide him with structure, exercise, and love.
