About Hutch

Meet Hutch, a delightful 9-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix weighing around 50 pounds. He's currently located in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, and is eager to find his forever home. Hutch is sweet, loving, and deeply loyal to his family. He thrives in a supportive environment and currently lives with a 7-year-old child, an older Australian Shepherd, and a cat, getting along well with all. Although he enjoys being around children in public places, Hutch does have some challenges at home. He can become territorial, so an adult-only household or a home without young children frequently visiting would be ideal. His previous family has put in a great deal of effort to ensure his well-being, including working with trainers and evaluating his behavior. They're committed to finding Hutch a secure environment where he can continue to learn and flourish. As a young dog, Hutch needs a patient adopter ready to help him build confidence and develop appropriate behaviors. With consistent management and care, he can become the wonderful companion he was meant to be. Ready to love a loyal friend? Apply now!
