Summary: Lucky would not allow leashing, snarled and avoided touch. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/5/17 During his initial medical exam Chips was tense, growled and snapped. ENERGY LEVEL: His owner describes Lucky as having a low activity level, which matches what we have seen at the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope only _X_Place with a New Hope partner – Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity – Lucky will at times solicit attention and at other times retreat and avoid. We recommend a decompression period and feel he will do best if allowed to warm up to new people and environments at his own pace. His handling should slowly increase as his comfort level rises. _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression – Lucky has shown some quick escalated warning behaviors in the care center. It is important to make sure Lucky stays under threshold and is not pushed to escalate further to a bite.
