About Flacko

Meet Flacko! He's an energetic and loving 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix who weighs around 40lbs. Flacko is a certified good boy who adores people and gets along well with other dogs. He's also eager to make friends with the foster cat, though his playful exuberance might be a bit much for some feline friends. Flacko is a quick learner who is eager to please, making him a joy to train. He's a bundle of fun, enjoying lively play sessions with his canine companions and even snuggling with a smaller puppy friend. Flacko has shown a lot of affection for the foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy having human siblings to play with. After playtime, he loves to snuggle 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, but he is still working on his puppy manners, such as jumping and pulling on a leash, so he'll need supervision around younger children.

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 would likely do well with a canine sibling. He also seems to enjoy the company of children, though supervision will be needed around younger ones due to his current puppy manners.

Ongoing Health

Flacko is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations. There are no specific health conditions mentioned.

Training & Support

Flacko is house and crate trained. He is still learning to curb his enthusiasm, so he is working on not jumping and not pulling on the leash. Consistent training and supervision will be key to his success.
