Hutch was nervous when entering the assessment, he was trembling a bit and whining; when coaxed by the assessor to approach he would retreat. He was given a few moments to warm up and the assessor attempted again to coax him over, he growled, lunged and snapped. The assessor decided to skip handling for safety reasons. He had no interest in food or rawhide and relinquished the toy to the assessor. Hutch was surrendered to the care center due to behavioral reasons; upon intake he would bark, growl and snap at the admissions counselor but eventually allowed them to pick him up and slightly relaxed, allowing handling to be completed. His owner reported that hutch has a history of biting people but never breaking skin; he has attempted to bite when people entered the home, approached a family member, and if too many people or animals were around. Owner reported that when food is taken away, Hutch will attempt to eat until it is out of reach. He becomes very fearful around loud noises, shaking and attempting to hide. The Behavior Department recommends that Hutch be placed with a New Hope partner that can follow up on his behavioral concerns in a more stable environment before placing him in a permanent home.
