💯FREE STUFF Hagler needs a home
I absolutely hate to do this, and have brokenheartedly been putting this off, but I am in the middle of a separation, imminent move abroad, and taking care of my small human.
I’m looking for a home for this guy by mid-November at the latest (sooner is also okay/possibly better). He’s a little older, so mostly chill (sleeps a lot) and likes short walks (he ends up limping on longer, 4k plus walks nowadays, but does okay with 30-45min of easy walking).
I’d like to see how you are with him/where he’ll be living to ensure he’s safe (photos/video call, or whatever, as far as seeing living arrangements is fine, but I’d definitely want to see how you are with him in person). We’re located in Eastwood, and I don’t have a vehicle anymore (plus the logistics of getting my kid and him around are a lot, since I’m in the process of listing and trying to sell off everything else we have), so being willing to make the trip over would be essential. I just want to be sure he’s in a good place and everyone is cool with each other.
Housebroken, has had vaccines, neutered, and is mostly good around other animals he knows/random cats for some reason and is very chill with kids (loves when kids and others actually ask to pet him). He eats dry food twice a day, needs to go out after eating, and loves to curl up next to you (with or without the prospect of getting more food). I give him Nexgard once a month, and I have most (if not all) of his vaccination records, plus harnesses, lede, and other odds and ends (and will rehome him with whatever extra food and random things I have for him). Bonus points if you have outdoor space or can take him on short walks often.
He’s scared of rain and fireworks, doesn’t understand how to play with toys, and gets anxious around dogs he doesn’t know (doesn’t care about cats, but will get too excited after initially sniffing out and greeting new dogs, then kind of panics and gets aggressive with them depending on the dog—basically wants to play, but doesn’t really understand how, after being bullied by a husky for years and whatever else he went through before he was rescued—so just needs a proper introduction, that I can help with, if you have other dogs). He also gets freaked out by people carrying large items (boxes, water bottles) or pushing carts or garbage cans (yesterday, I found out he’s also very protective when groups of random dudes materialize in the area—would not stop barking until they left), but is generally just a curious sweetheart who doesn’t do much aside from sniff everywhere and everyone. He’s constantly looking for food, and has needed to diet in the past after someone looked after him for a couple months and kept feeding him whenever he was “hungry”. (Which is all the time. He’s always “hungry”.)
His name is Hagler, he’s probably around 10yo (was a rescue, so not sure of exact age) and has been through kidney and liver issues, cancer treatment, and living on the streets for the first couple years of life (he’s okay now, though, just getting older). When he has a haircut, he looks like a puppy again, but has a bit more of a coat when his fur grows out. When his fur grows out, he needs to be brushed somewhat regularly to keep out tangles (which he enjoys, aside from near his back legs, if you’re not gentle).
If you like dogs, he’s a super, easily loveable and loyal sweetheart. I would not let him go if I didn’t have to, but he needs a new, safe home. He’s free, I just want him to be safe and loved. Pickup/introduction location is Eastwood.
Hit me up with any questions.
