About Flacko

Meet Flacko! This handsome 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix is a bundle of energy and love, weighing around 40lbs. Flacko is a certified good boy who adores people and other dogs. He's eager to please and a quick learner, making him a joy to be around. While he enjoys playful antics with his dog friends, he's also great at respecting their boundaries. Flacko has shown a lot of affection for his foster's cat, but his playful enthusiasm might be a bit much for some kitties. He's been wonderful with a 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having human siblings to play with. After a good romp, Flacko loves to cuddle and show off his belly for rubs. He's also a huge fan of pool time and entertaining himself with his favorite toys. Flacko is house and crate trained and is looking for an experienced adopter to help him continue to grow and explore the world with confidence.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in an active home with experienced adopters who can help him navigate the world. He would likely enjoy having human siblings to play with. He may be a bit too enthusiastic for cats who prefer a calmer environment. He will need supervision around smaller children as he is still working on his puppy 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 not jumping and not pulling on the leash. He is house and crate trained. Consistent training and supervision will help him succeed.
