About Flacko

Meet Flacko! This handsome 8-month-old German Shepherd mix weighs around 40lbs and is ready to find his forever family. Flacko is a bundle of joy who absolutely loves people and his canine pals. He's eager to make friends with the resident cat, but his playful enthusiasm might be a bit much for some feline friends. Flacko is a super smart learner and is always looking for ways to please his people. He's a social butterfly, enjoying playtime with dogs of all sizes and is even great at understanding their cues. He had a blast with his foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having a human sibling to share his adventures with. While he's working on his leash manners and can be a bit jumpy, supervised interactions with younger children are recommended. After a good romp, Flacko loves to snuggle up for some belly rubs. He's a big fan of the pool and has a blast playing with his toys. Flacko is already house and crate trained and is looking for an experienced adopter who can guide him as he continues to grow and gain confidence.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in an active home with an experienced adopter who can help him navigate the world. He enjoys playing with other dogs and could do well with a human sibling. He is working on his manners and should be supervised around smaller children due to potential jumping.

Ongoing Health

Flacko is a neutered male and is up-to-date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions are mentioned.

Training & Support

Flacko is house and crate trained and is a quick learner who wants to please. He is working on jumping and pulling on a leash and would benefit from continued guidance and supervision in these areas.

  • 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.
