About Flacko

Meet Flacko! This handsome 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix weighs around 40lbs and is a certified good boy looking for his forever family. Flacko is a ball of energy who loves people, gets along well with other dogs of all sizes, and is eager to make friends with the resident cat, though his enthusiasm might be a bit much for some feline friends. He's a quick learner who genuinely wants to please and enjoys cuddling after a good play session, especially showing off his belly for rubs! He also loves to splash around in the pool and play with his favorite toys. Flacko has been great with his foster family's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having a human sibling to play with.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in an active home with an experienced adopter who can help him navigate the world with confidence. He would likely enjoy a human sibling to play with. While he's learning his manners, he will need supervision around smaller children due to his puppy exuberance (jumping and leash pulling).

Ongoing Health

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

Training & Support

Flacko is house and crate trained. He is working on his puppy manners, specifically jumping and pulling on the leash. An experienced adopter will be best equipped to guide him as he continues to learn and grow.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Flacko is currently in a foster home in Houston, TX. He can be transported out of state once an approved adopter is found. Transports run every few weeks, and he will be on the next available transport once approved.
