About Flacko

Meet Flacko! This handsome 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix is a bundle of energy and love, weighing around 40lbs. Flacko is a certified good boy who adores people and other dogs. He's eager to please and a quick learner, making him a wonderful companion. He even dreams of having a feline friend, though his enthusiasm might be a bit much for some cats. Flacko is great at understanding play cues with his dog friends, ranging from 15 to 60lbs, and he even enjoys snuggling with smaller puppy pals. He's been fantastic with his foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having human siblings to play with. After an energetic play session, Flacko loves to cuddle and show off his belly for rubs. He's a huge fan of pool time and can entertain himself with his favorite toys. Flacko is house and crate trained and is ready to find his forever home.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in a home with an experienced adopter who can help him navigate the world with confidence. He's been great with children and would likely enjoy human siblings to play with, but supervision is recommended around smaller children as he's still working on his puppy manners like jumping and leash pulling.

Ongoing Health

Flacko is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations.

Training & Support

Flacko is working on his puppy manners, specifically jumping and pulling on a leash. He will need continued guidance and supervision to help him develop these skills.
