Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


This is Dahlia. She is a wonderful dog. Well behaved and house trained. She loves to cuddle and be petted and run in the yard. She loves going for walks.
Around when she turned 2 1/2 she started catching a lot of wild animals in our yard like rabbits, ground hogs and birds. She also started going after our cats that she had been raised with of which we have 6. We have tried training techniques and have not seen much response from that. She really doesnt go after them when we are watching. We have been relying on keeping them separate any time we are not home and strongly supervising when we are.
We also have a 2 year old and have twin babies on the way. She has never bitten our son, but is visibly uncomfortable when he is near so we also keep them separated bc our 2 year old does not understand her fear of him.
She does very well with older kids though.
We hope to find her a good, loving home with people that will see her as family like we do.
