Annie, yes change in personality/activity level is possible, but I always feel that if one KNOWS they won't want to keep an animal if whatever criteria is not met, and the animal is showing signs of not meeting that criteria, that it is best for the animal to be rehomed while still young, that's all. It's fairer to the animal.

It's like what we tell folks about getting a second pit bull...if you KNOW you won't want to keep the dog if they become DA, then rehome it while it's still young. If the OP KNOWS she won't want the dog if the energy level doesn't drastically increase, then the dog would be better off being adopted to a new home while she is still young and not only more appealing to other homes, but will have an easier time adjusting and bonding.
