This beautiful, tall brown muzzle, about 11 years old, was found wandering and unclaimed.
His past is unknown, but the shelter’s medical team noted that he suffered from a number of untreated health problems for a long time. Living with a loving family, even temporarily, would be of great benefit to him.
His difficulty and deafness did not curb his desire to go out and sniff everything in his path.
He also doesn’t pull, walks well on a leash and eagerly follows his man. An old hand! But it is important to respect its rhythm and pay attention to its needs and limitations.

Hagrid needs to receive medical attention and be able to rest in a quiet and warm environment. Necessary treatments will be explained in detail to his family.
One of Hagrid’s wonderful qualities is that he gets along well with his peers. Even annoying dogs appreciate its presence!
Do they think Hagrid is a wise old man who teaches them a few things about living with humans?

As he recovers, Hagrid can’t live with small children who might accidentally disturb him.
However, youngsters who are old enough to understand dog language and respect this good old dog’s limits can benefit from his communicative joy. In fact, he plays with stuffed animals like a puppy!

If you’re lucky enough to meet the gentle Hagrid, you’ll find his charms irresistible. When he feels confident (usually within a minute!), this gentleman asks for cuddles while rolling on his back and writhing. He loves giving more.
Want to help a senior animal in real need? Open your heart and home by becoming Hagrid’s foster family! You have every right to submit and accept it…
