About Flacko

Meet Flacko! This handsome, 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix is a bundle of joy weighing around 40lbs. He's a certified good boy who absolutely adores people and other dogs. Flacko is a quick learner who is eager to please and is just waiting for his forever person to share his life with. He enjoys playing with his doggy friends, respecting their cues, and has even earned an A++ from Doggie Daycare playgroups! Flacko has also been great with his foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having human siblings to play with. When he's not busy being a playful pup, Flacko loves cuddling and showing off his belly for rubs. He's also a big fan of pool time and entertaining himself with his favorite toys.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in a home with an experienced adopter who can help him navigate the world with confidence. He enjoys playing with other dogs and could do well with children, though he is still working on his puppy manners like jumping and leash pulling, so supervision around smaller children is recommended. While he would love to be buddies with a cat, his enthusiasm might be a bit too much for most feline friends.

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, including jumping and leash pulling, and would benefit from continued guidance and supervision in these areas.
