About Flacko

Meet Flacko, an 8-month-old male German Shepherd Dog mix who currently weighs around 40lbs. This handsome boy is a certified good boy who absolutely adores people and other dogs. He's also eager to befriend the resident cat, though his playful energy might be a bit much for some felines. Flacko is a quick learner and truly wants to please, making him an ideal companion for his future forever family.

He enjoys energetic play sessions with his doggy friends, demonstrating a good understanding of their cues and boundaries, even earning an A++ from Doggie Daycare Playgroups! He also enjoys snuggling with a smaller puppy friend. Flacko has been wonderful with his foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having a human sibling to play with. He's currently working on his puppy manners, specifically jumping and leash pulling, so supervision around smaller children is recommended. After playtime, Flacko loves to snuggle and will happily roll over for belly rubs. He's also a big fan of pool time and entertaining himself with his favorite toys.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive with an experienced adopter who can help him navigate the world with confidence. He enjoys playing with other dogs and would likely enjoy a human sibling to play with.

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 a leash, and would need to be supervised around smaller children as he continues to learn.
