Greg told Mary he needed to wait because they would be traveling. The airedale he was interested in was going to be adopted by someone else who wanted her right away.
10/26/17 Per Anita Loeser email:
Ladies
We would have loved another Airedale rescue, but we now think that our best option for our lonely hearts would be to purchase a puppy. Any suggestions for breeders in this area? We are tentatively “planning” to become Dale parents in January , but if a Dale is available sooner, we have a definitive interest.
Thanks, always for all you do and your consideration.
All the best
The Loeser’s
10/26/17: Need to find a home visit for Greg Redd; he is adopting from SOAR per Mary O’Connell.
His new address:
311 Parish Walk, Elgin, SC 29045
phone 1-803-319-7557
10/24/17: Got a call from Mary McConnell, SOAR in Indiana, asking for a reference for Greg Redd and his wife Alicia Clawson. I called her back and gave them a thumbs up.
09/18/17: Spoke to Hillary at Caring Hands. The vet hasn’t had an opportunity to look at her yet! Call back late afternoon or in the morning!
09/15/17: Molly is fostering Carly from Iron City, TN.
Molly’s vet in Nashville: Caring Hands: 615-791-9366
09/15/17: Spoke to vet’s office, Marissa at 10:00 a.m. They haven’t done anything on Carly yet.
09/04/17: Sandy’s email preferred:
08/30/17: MP has decided it’s not a good time for her to foster. Tucker is changing daily into a more confident, attentive dog. She wants to let him be top dog/only dog for a while. She also said it’s nice to not have to get up so early in the morning every morning. (Man, can I identify with that!) She also explained that it’s been a hard year for them, that Brett left her earlier this year, and they’re back together. Their Rector at church has advised them to see their time now as a healing time and she said it’s probably not a good idea to bring a new dog into the mix.
Keep her in mind if we have an urgent need and she’ll probably be ready at some point not to far in the future.
