They’ve had some changes in their family since they adopted Kate. They used a trainer. Their daughter and granddaughter moved back to Nashville and moved in with them. They brought their lab with them. Got a trainer and the trainer worked with Kate. The trainer says she has confidence issues so they’ve worked on praising her and being positive. She’s fine until they get to other dogs. Over the last month, her behavior has gotten stranger. She doesn’t want to go outside, or out of her kennel, initially would put her head up against the wall. Trainer thought that might be neurological issues. She gets like an Alzheimers patient. Terrified of storms.
Took her to the vet last week and she did X-rays that show a degenerated disc on her back. She was painful on her back and her belly. Urinalysis fine. They put her on Gabapentin and Carprofen anti-inflammatory twice a day. She’s bouncy and playful on those drugs. try for 10 days. Keep her still and don’t let her bounce and run.
She’s alone and has recently had a couple of accidents in the house pooped. They’re gone from 8:00 husband gets home 5:00 and 5:30. The trainer brought another dog to do some drills. She tolerated her daughter’s dog.
This week she’s been fine.
Super sweet.
Son’s dog gentle sweet GSD and bit her on the foot. Bit daughter’s dog.
Nicki Ivy, Dogspeak 101. is trainer.
She needs a new home. It’s breaking her heart because she wants to keep trying. The whole family has to be involved.
Loves to go in the car.
I told her to fill out a Relinquishment Form. Taking her for grooming is an issue. She sees the other dogs and wants to attack. They met at dog park.
07/22/18: Sue Taylor has tried numerous times to connect with the Dillons. They set times to talk and then he’s not available. He says he’ll call back and doesn’t.
Move to Neutral.
07/22/18: Georgie Jones will meet Gina Mabie and take Harper home to see how she does with her dog and cat. (Harper is UNKNOWN with cats.) Fingers crossed!
N.B. Gina Mabie is under a lot of stress, not just because of Harper, but because her 7-y-o son has cystic fibrosis and has just recently been discovered to have CF-liver disease. This is a terrible diagnosis. Gina is a very strong woman and loves Harper/Maggie, but she’s having to keep Maggie crated to protect her other two Airedales. It’s a very sad situation. Plus, they are looking at moving soon. I don’t know what the impetus is for that or how imminent it is.
I hope this is a good move for Maggie and for Georgie!
07/21/18: Joyce has Tempest. She says he’s a wonderful dog, but was obviously confused. She said he paced the fence all the way around and immediately found the gates. He’s very smart. He won’t let her put a leash on him. Maybe it’s because he was tethered outside all the time. He ate fine. When he first went into the kitchen with her, he nudged her hand, so she fed him and he ate. He’s met both her little dogs, the Diva yorkie, and the Norwich. The yorkie doesn’t want anything to do with him, but the Norwich is fine. He’s come nose-to-nose with one of her cats and there was no problem. The other cats are keeping their distance, but he seems uninterested – no perked up ears, no staring.
He is strongly positive for heart worms. As for the mast cell tumor, she’s not sure it is a mast cell. His previous vet did a fine-needle aspirate, but apparently no pathology report. She plans to take him to her vet and have him just look at it without telling him it was suspected mast cell and see what he says.
I’ve told her ARG will pay for the vet visit and for whatever he thinks should be done. At his age, we’ll probably just do the slow-kill method for the heart worms.
Joyce is wonderful!
07/19/18: Joyce Hayes Chandler will adopt Tempest! JMC told her about the mast cell tumor and that he hasn’t been tested for HW yet. She’s ok with that. I told her ARG would assume costs for his medical care.
She will meet the Barkers halfway between Lincolnton, NC to Walterboro, SC.
JMC texted the Barkers.Congratulations, Eva. I am so happy to hear that you found an Airedale that needed a home. Please feel free to contact ARG via our web site or our FB page if you need any advice or just want to share funny stories about your Airedale. (Did you get a female or male? How old?) We have the entire Airedale community behind us across the country and we share information and advice. I’m sure your breeder will also be able to help, but feel free to contact us.
Thank you for letting me know and I wish you the very best of luck with your ‘dale!

On July 18, 2018 at 1:49 PM Eva PerryHi Jackie,
Thanks for getting back to me. I am no longer interested in adopting as I just adopted one. I ended up finding a rescue Airedale through a breeder and she is a wonderful.
Thanks,

Hi, Eva. Please accept my apology for failing to contact you before now about your application to adopt an Airedale. It typically does not take this long, but we have been short-handed. We’re all volunteers so sometimes life gets in the way.If you are still interested in pursuing adopting an Airedale, please let me a good time to talk and I’ll give you a call.
Thank you for your patience and for considering a rescued Airedale.

Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/airedalerescuegroup07/18/18: Great conversation with this funny woman. She is a hoot. She knows Airedales.
Hi, Debbie. Thank you for the lovely conversation this afternoon. I really enjoyed hearing about your dogs, horses, and your mom! It sounds like you have a great place for your animals – both inside and outside. As we discussed, we require our Airedales to be inside dogs and not be left unattended outside. I understand that you have an invisible fence and a dog door, but your Airedale Coco likes to stay inside, while your labs like to be outside. We would ask that you keep the Airedale you may adopt from us inside with Coco.I’ve checked the distance between your house and the volunteer I mentioned to you, Cindy Green, who lives in Florence. She’s southeast of Florence, so it would be nearly an hour. She’s on vacation this week, but when she returns next week, I’ll see if she is willing to do your home visit. I may be able to find someone closer.
We talked a little about Kara. Kara is with a trainer in Greenville, SC, Rebekah Burgdorf, of Mountain Harmony Canine. You can see videos of Kara being trained on her FB page. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=mountain%20harmony%20canine.
Kara’s background is unknown. The woman who had her said that her groomer had contacted her because the people who owned the Airedale could no longer keep her. We took her in – actually paid for her – and she was very skinny, very wild, untrained, aggressive to other dogs, and just generally a mess. She was in a foster home for a short time until she bit the resident female Airedale and the foster mom could no longer keep her.
She is spayed, heart worm negative, and up to date on all her vaccines and has now been in training for 3 weeks and probably will need another week at least before she’s ready for her new home. With your years of experience with Airedales, I feel certain that she would respond well to you and learn very quickly how to fit in with your pack. We would also pledge continued training for her if it is necessary.
I will be back in touch next week with a volunteer for your home visit. In the meantime, Debbie, let me know if you have any questions or wish to learn more about Kara.
And, Debbie, thank you so much for your offer of donations when we have special needs, such as we probably will have with this 11-year-old boy coming into rescue. That is so very generous of you.
I look forward to helping you find a great Airedale.

07/18/18: JMC called and left voice mail. She lives very near Cindy Green! She has raised Airedales. Had them all her life.

07/18/18: Hello, Jim. I know it has been a long time since you sent your application to us to be considered for a rescued Airedale. I emailed you on May 31, and when I didn’t hear back, I put you in a folder for follow-up. I’m sorry it has taken so long.
If you are still interested in pursuing adoption through us, please reply and let me know a good time to talk and I’ll call you.
Thank you for your patience and your caring for rescued Airedales.

We would be willing to drive wherever needed. Also, I spoke to my wife and concerning the lump on his leg, Dr. Rouco at Lincolnton animal hospital aspirated it. Thank you for your assistance we really appreciate it.

Good evening, Cale. Thank you for taking time to talk to me about Tempest. I requested that you take Tempest to the vet and have vaccines for DHLP-P and bordatella and to have him tested for heart worms. We will take him even if he is positive for heart worms. We also need his complete medical records through your visit. You may send it to info@airedalerescuegroup.com or your vet may fax it to us at 815-301-2959. We appreciate you taking care of this. We want to keep his expenses down for us and for the adopting family. It is not unusual for us to spend up to $1,000 on Airedales we bring into rescue; we have spent several thousand on some of them.It may be difficult to find someone to adopt an 11-year-old Airedale, but we will do our best. Often, Airedale-experienced people have a soft spot for the “seniors.” When we do find his new home, it could be in any of the states that we cover: NC, SC, TN, GA, or AL, although we give priority to those closer to where the Airedale is. We typically seek volunteers to drive 1-1/2 to 2 hours one way to transport our Airedales. Depending on where his new home will be, are you and/or Lorrie willing to drive him to meet another volunteer and/or the adopting family?
We will go ahead and put him on our web site and our FB pages.
Thank you for trusting ARG to find a new home for Tempest.
Jackie
07/18/18: Vet reference was mixed. The person who answered didn’t know their name right off. When I asked if they kept their animals up to date on vaccines and health checks, she said the last year or so is iffy. I asked what about heart worm preventative and flea & tick preventative, and she said she sees f&t purchase but not heart worm.
I’m having more doubts about them now. Yes, they explained away the problem issues.
Also having a problem finding a home visit volunteer. I’m going to sit on this for a while.
