About Flacko

Meet Flacko! This handsome 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix is a certified good boy who weighs around 40lbs. He's a quick learner who loves people and is eager to please, making him a wonderful companion. Flacko enjoys playing with other dogs and is even trying to make friends with the resident cat, though he might be a bit too enthusiastic for some kitties. He also has a soft spot for smaller puppies and has been great with his foster's 10-year-old nephew. After playtime, Flacko loves to snuggle, roll over for belly rubs, and is a huge fan of pool time. He's house and crate trained and is ready to find his forever person to help him navigate the world with confidence.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in a home with an experienced adopter who can help him continue to learn and grow. He would likely enjoy a human sibling to play with. He needs supervision around smaller children due to his puppy exuberance, as he is still working on his 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, including jumping and pulling on the leash. He is house and crate trained. An experienced adopter will be key to helping him navigate the world with confidence.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transportation

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.
