About Flacko

Meet Flacko! He's an 8-month-old, 40lb German Shepherd Dog mix who is a certified good boy and ready to win your heart. Flacko is a bundle of energy and affection, loving people and other dogs. He even tries his best to befriend the foster cat, though he might be a bit too enthusiastic for some feline friends! Flacko is a quick learner who just wants to please, and he's eager to find his forever person to share his life with.

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, ranging from 15-60lbs, and is great at reading their cues and respecting boundaries. He also gets along wonderfully with the foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely enjoy a human sibling to play with. However, he is still working on his puppy manners, including jumping and pulling on a leash, so he will need supervision around smaller children.

Ongoing Health

Flacko is neutered and up-to-date on 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 benefit from continued training and supervision in these areas. An experienced adopter will be best suited to help him continue to learn and grow.
