Co-Adopter’s Signature 
Signature date 12/09/2023 I spoke with Lynn on Sunday 12/10/23. Her and her husband are extremely knowledgeable about the care and training of an Airedale. Lynn has worked in training dogs for a brief period and her last Airedale was a therapy dog. They are an active couple so the dog they adopt will get lots of exercise. They want a smaller Dale and no preference on male or female. But the dog would need to get along with their cat.
They live in a very private area with a long driveway and there is not a lot of public people that drive that area. They do not have a fence on their 47 acres or an invisible fence as what was stated in her application but all of their dogs are always leashed and with them and have been trained well. Lynn understands what is needed for a rescue dog having no fence, if they are approved for adopting. Her references praised them both highly on being dog parents and was very excited they are starting to look for another dog after losing their Airedale, Raleigh.
When checking with the vet, they have kept UTD on shots and heartworm tests and heartworm meds, they use the Pro Heart shot once a year. They did not show that they had got flea medication, though. But that could be they got it somewhere else as I did not ask Lynn where she specifically got it from.
I am confident they will be great adopters for the right Airedale that does not pose a flight risk and one that is easily trained. So, they are ready for a home visit next.From: Christina Prange

Subject: Airedale Rescue Group – next step, schedule home visitHello Ned and Lynne
My name is Christina and I am a volunteer with Airedale Rescue Group. I volunteer with Jo who you talked to last year as part of the application process. I am following on my sword to say that I missed scheduling a home visit for y’all. Jo had indicated that it was the next step in the process and I missed it. We are interested in moving forward to get the home visit scheduled but I wanted to check in – are you still interested in a rescued ‘dale? I hope so!
