Knox fka Hagrid Labrador Retriever & Mastiff Mix Marietta, OH

Knox (fka Hagrid) is a handsome one-year old male Mastiff/Labrador Retriever mix who was brought to the HSOV on February 24, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who had found him on Boulevard Drive in Belpre Ohio the preceding evening. Hagrid was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an ID tag nor a dog license tag on his collar ... And he was not microchipped.

Hagrid has a black short smooth coat with white markings on his chest, white toes on his paws, a long tail, and a gorgeous face with dark brown 'teddy bear' eyes, a chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears.

This big guy has a sweet, easygoing personality. Hagrid was quite the gentleman when HSOV Kennel Tech Kathryn Rea (Kat) gave him extra TLC while he posed for preliminary photos in front of his kennel in the Holding Area (where new intakes are housed). Hagrid appeared to be ok other dogs in nearby kennels (who were constantly 'talking' to him). Hagrid just wagged his tail and made a quiet effort to make their acquaintance.

Hagrid weighs 76 lbs and is fairly strong on a leash (merely because of his large size). He was a pushover for 'good boy' treats when we were enticing him to go back in his kennel, and he quickly followed the scent of bacon strips which were waiting for him atop his soft pile of blankets.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Hagrid will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.

UPDATE: Hagrid went home with a foster family on February 28, 2024 who planned to adopt him after he was neutered .. But Hagrid did not get along with the foster family's dog, so Hagrid (now known as Knox) came back to HSOV on March 15, 2024 and is available for adoption.
