In the shelter’s words

This handsome giant is Big Boy. Don’t be intimidated by his size as he’s the biggest teddy bear ever. He’s got a gentle demeanor and is a great boy that likes exploring and being by his handler. Big Boy is an approx 4 year old German Shepherd mix and weighs 90 pounds. Fortunately for him, he was rescued by Mutts in Need and now spends him time hanging out with the other dogs of the rescue and venturing around shopping malls with our rescue president, Steve. He’s a friendly boy that would most benefit from a loving home and with a family that doesn’t mind taking him on adventures. Apply to meet Big Boy at https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt
