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

My story

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

Gwen was adopted from Australian Shepherd rescue center in 2021. Gwen is 7 years old. She is a loving dog to my wife and I. Gwen loves to play fetch & sings to rock n roll. Her favorite is Queen, The Champions. Gwen around her sibling dogs, she does want to be the alpha dog, but we seen where she does play well. When Gwen gets to know the people in her family, she will become their shadow. Gwen has great traits & she has a few negative ones. Gwen being an Aussie, a herding breed dog, she has been known to nip people who invaded her comfort space. Back in 2021 we took her to see a behavorial vet. This vet diagnosed Gwen as not aggressive, but fearful and anxious. Vet prescribed for Gwen 100mg Trazadone taken twice daily in the AM & PM. Also Gwen will bark at friends or people who come into our home with a fearful bark until they leave our home. The reason we are looking for a new home is due to my 93 year old mother from TN is coming to live with us in TX. My mom is scared of Gwen
