About Flacko

Meet Flacko! He's a charming 8-month-old German Shepherd Dog mix, weighing in at about 40lbs. Flacko is a bundle of joy who absolutely adores people and other dogs. He's even hoping to make friends with the resident cat, though his boundless enthusiasm might be a bit much for some feline friends. This smart pup is eager to please and a fast learner, just waiting for his perfect person to share his life with. He's a social butterfly at Doggie Daycare, excelling in playgroups with dogs of all sizes and even enjoys snuggling with a smaller puppy pal. Flacko has been wonderful with his foster's 10-year-old nephew and would likely do well with a human sibling to play with, though supervision around younger children is recommended as he's still working on his puppy manners like jumping and leash pulling. After a good romp, Flacko loves to snuggle up and show off his adorable belly for rubs. He's also a huge fan of the pool and can entertain himself for hours with his favorite toys. Flacko is house and crate trained, and with an experienced adopter to guide him, he's sure to blossom into a confident and beloved companion.

Ideal Home

Flacko would thrive in a home that can match his energetic spirit and provide him with guidance as he continues to learn. He'd likely enjoy a family with children, but supervision is recommended due to his occasional jumping and leash pulling.

Ongoing Health

Flacko is a healthy young pup. As with any puppy, he is still growing and developing.

Training & Support

Flacko is working on his puppy manners, including reducing jumping and leash pulling. With consistent training and supervision, he'll surely master these skills. An experienced adopter will be best suited to help him navigate the world with confidence.
