Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Hazel and we are needing to find a new home for her. She is 3 yo, spaded, and 29 lbs at last vet visit. She has no health issues. We need to rehome her because we welcomed a daughter in March. She is too high energy and although she is very sweet around the baby, we are concerned an accident may happen. Hazel is, as mentioned, highly energetic, loves to run and play fetch. She's also affectionate, loves attention and cuddles. She has learned basic commands such as sit and no. She does have a loud, piercing bark, but she does not bark at every little thing. She is shy but will warm up. She can be territorial around food. We've had her since she was a puppy and it will be sad to see her go. Our only hope for her is to find a good, loving home.
