Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nutmeg is 2 years old and we are looking for a single individual or a couple to re-home her. We currently have 4 adults and 2 young children, both under 2, in the home. She is great with the kids but she is protective of them and growls when she hears noises from the floors the kids aren't on. We have tried to train this out of her but without success. She was meant to be a companion dog for my disabled wife when she was alone all day, the growling unfortunately is making my wife condition worse and our home situation has changed in which she isn't alone anymore.

She recently had a surgery on her knee and has had a full recovery, this is a known issue with the breed.

She loves to play and go on walks. Fetch in the house is a daily routine.
