More about Hagrid

Say hello to the handsome, Hagrid!

Hagrid arrived at Battersea as his previous owner who was sadly no longer able to care for him.

In his previous home, Hagrid was described as an affectionate, loving little dog who enjoyed relaxing on the sofa and having his tummy rubbed. He was known for being friendly and sweet, with a playful side balanced by moments of independence. Since arriving with us, we’ve seen that same lovely personality shine through. Although he initially found the change overwhelming and would be unsure around unfamiliar people, it only took a few days for him to begin settling in. Now, he delights his favourite people with excited spins and shows just how much he enjoys their company.

Hagrid can still be worried, particularly around handling, and may avoid contact when he’s unsure. However, once he has built a bond, he welcomes gentle fuss and shows his sensitive, affectionate nature. He is a sweet soul who will flourish in a patient and understanding home that allows him to build trust at his own pace.

Hagrid is looking for less experienced owners who are willing to give him the time, space, and reassurance he needs to settle. Ideally, his new family will have some understanding of worried dogs or knowledge of the Spitz breed, and be ready to help him grow into the confident and devoted companion we know he can be.
