Signed:: Sandra Kaye Fisk12-22-2020 From Desiree:
Jackie, thank you for getting back to me. Nothing has changed. My mom is still with us. We don’t have any children coming into our home- yet- I wish my daughters would surprise with good news- but nothing 😁.
There aren’t many children on our street. A young family with a toddler moved in closer to the corner.
Our Standard Poodle passed away. He was 13 almost 14 years old. He was an amazing doggie; very loyal, respectful, fun and loving. After that, we adopted Our bulldog Penelope, aka Baby Girl and Baby Cakes from Bullies to the Rescue. She is 5 years old and weighs 56 lbs. we thought she would be a good mate for Petey. She is very patient with him. She ADORES my husband. Her past owner was an older gentleman who passed away. She really like men.
Then, last Christmas we were contacted by Mercy Rescue up in Indiana, where we used to live years back. They had rescued three cocker Spaniels from an Amish Puppy Mill and they felt we would be a good home for one of them. Her name is Josephine, or Josie but we call her Princess Bon Bon. She is truly a sweet as candy. She is 27 lbs and she turned 5 this month.
I’m not working now. I am doing some free lance from home. Covid times. All three get along well, but our Petey, aka Velcro Boy ( he thinks he is a lap dog) aka Teddy Bear is so full of energy, the other two are no match for him. We are in no hurry, we just feel, Petey would be so happy with a friend at his own level of energy.
I’m going to send you some photos of them. They are adorable!
Thank you Jackie,
Desiree
PS- of course, they ALL are inside dogs. They are family!12-26-2020 From Lara Pearson Home Evaluation Form:
HOME EVALUATION FORMTo the Home Evaluator: This form can be used when doing a home visit to evaluate a potential family for a rescued Airedale.

________________________________________Togo loves Rob and loves Georgia, their female Airedale. He wants to be with one or the other, preferably both. Will need a strong male to bond to and another Airedale or big dog to bond with.
12-26-2020: Treacy can’t keep Bonnie. She is very anxious, afraid, timid. He’s been trying to teach her to use the dog door but she is afraid of it. Hank was originally playing with her, now he has become aggressive toward her when she gets close to Treacy.
Need to place her.

12-21-2020 Amber Jenkins adopted Togo – will foster for a week or more. She says he’s a great dog and he and her Welshie Winston got along on first meeting. Fingers crossed for adoption.
12-21-2020 Amber & Kevin Jenkins have picked up Togo from Amber Winslett in Cedartown and are going to foster/adopt him. When they met and introduced their Welshie to Togo, they got along fine and played. I advised Amber J to be careful and to keep Togo on leash in the house for a while to make sure he wasn’t going to mark and to make certain he and Winston didn’t get into a dustup.
Hold off on contract for a week at least.

Subject: Re: Friend for Petey?Good morning, Desiree. Yes, Sue told me to expect to hear from you. After reading your message, my first thought was ‘They’ve got 3 dogs and they want ANOTHER! They must be crazy!’ 😊 Then, it was ‘Of course, they want another Airedale.’
Are you still living in the same home as when you got Petey? Does your mother still live with you? Are you still working part-time, Desiree? You had only the senior Poodle when you got Petey, but have since added Penelope and Josie. How did you come to get them? Are they both inside dogs like Petey? How big are they? I guess they all get along well? We would, of course, want to place an Airedale with you that was good around all dogs and one who could easily acclimate to an established pack.
Previously there were no children that routinely visited your home. Has that changed? Are there a lot of children in your neighborhood?
Let me know about all of the above and we’ll keep you on our “approved/waiting for an Airedale” list. As a former adopter, you are considered “golden.”
We don’t have any Airedales currently, but we never know when that will change. We just got a male and a female on Friday and they both are placed.
I look forward to helping you find the next Airedale!
Have a healthy and happy Christmas and New Year!

Jackie, Sue Higgins gave me your email and said it was okay to contact you.
We adopted Petey almost two years ago from your organization. He is a WONDERFUL boy! He is on the smaller size, about 55 lbs. Our life is so much more fun because of him!
We have an English bulldog, Penelope and a Cocker Spaniel, Josie. They all get along very well. All three are 5 years old. However, neither of the other two breeds has the size, energy and stamina like Petey does. We wonder if we could find another sweet Airdale like Petey, they could have a great time.
I reached out to Sue to ask her opinion. She told me to contact you. We are in no rush. We would like to find a good friend for Petey and a good addition to our canine family.
Let me know what you think.
Take care and Happy Holidays,
Desiree and Jake Stout
