BIG BOY's Story

#A5729245<br/>Meet<br/>Big Boy<br/>, our 7-year-old German Shepherd heartthrob with true<br/>movie star good looks<br/>! ✠̈ His velvety red-and-black coat is so soft it practically begs to be pet, and those warm, soulful eyes? They’ll make you melt in seconds. Don’t let his “tough guy” kennel act fool you - once he’s out, Big Boy is pure charm: loose, friendly, easy to leash, and eager for adventure. He’s smart, responsive, and ready to learn (he may even know Spanish — “¡Sientate!” worked like a charm!). Big Boy gets along great with other dogs and has that perfect medium energy level - playful when it’s time to have fun, calm when it’s time to chill. He may be a little older, but he’s got<br/>years of love and loyalty<br/>waiting to share with his forever family.
