Good morning, Susan. We received your emails about adopting an Airedale. We do not have any Airedales who would be happy to be sequestered in a laundry room 9 hours a day even with a break at lunch.
Jackie Cash08-09-2020: From Marcela:
Jackie,Hope you are doing well. Daniel and me wanted to tell you that we have a change of heart after this last experience. Our kids were devastated with the news of Izzy leaving us and also did we. We are not going to surrender her and we are changing things in the house in order to have everyone involved in the house chores. That oncludes Izzy and Paco. Since Thursday we are all home again in our new house and we are all doing great. The fence is finally going to be installed on the week of the 17th and this will make our lifes much easier.
We are going to get your offer to help in Izzy’s training. I have been researching, and tomorrow, Monday, I will send you a name and link to the person we are thinking can help Izzy stop acting out when she sees another dog. She works with Mustly Mutts and we are going to contacted her to see if she can come and visit and explain all the situation.
For now, we are really thankful for your help, but she is ours and we will keep her!
As I said I will send you the information as soon as I contact the trainer tomorrow.
Thanks and have a nice rest of your Sunday

08-10-2020: Per Lori, he is still on antibiotics, finished pain meds.
Gets along with Barley who is 2 year old and they love to play. Pinot is 13. They’are all playing well together.Her backyard is completely fenced in now; previously was just electric fence. She goes outside with Baxter to make certain he doesn’t try to scale the fence. Most of the fence is 5 ft aluminum, part is chain link. He doesn’t seem interested in trying to get away.
According to the records from the Humane Society, he is healthy, heartworm negative, and has been started on Milbeguard for HW prevention.
From Lori Nelson, 08-10-2020:
I can send more pics. He gets along great with my 2. Pinot is 13, and does not play much, so he leaves him alone. He and Barley will play bitey face, and with some of the toys. He is housebroken(no accidents) and loves to be around humans!!! I have not crated him, he took a look at it, and slept across the room from it as if to say, I do not need it!!! He is a real sweetheart.Great dog, thrown away by his family of 7 years.
08-09-2020. Tracy McKinney contacted ARG FB page because she has a 1-yo Airedale to surrender. You can see the history in all the posts above.
She has a 1-y-o intact male to surrender because they’re moving out of the country. I responded to her and told her we could help, yada, yada. Then I looked up her name bc it was too familiar.
She applied to us in Jan 2016. It was obvious they knew nothing about dogs. Period. They were home visited and approved but they were planning to move to a new home (lived on the 21st floor in a condo). Sue Taylor followed up then nothing until they contacted us in 2017 about a ‘dale we had. We had back and forth about different dales, then nothing. Then in 2018 she bought a puppy who died a week later of parvo so the breeder was going to give her one from the next litter, and I’m guessing this is the one.
She got mad at us because we never had a ‘dale for her. She asked me how long this process takes once they submit the paperwork. I told her it depends on the Airedale. We have many approved adopters waiting or we may want to have him first in a foster home. I asked if their move was imminent. She responded that it is and she’s looking at her options.
We may not get him, but I suspect she’ll advertise him so we’ll probably find out about him.
08-08-2020: After talking to Pam Mayall and communicating with Marcela, here is the upshot.
The Mayalls are not adopting Izzy. I introduced them to Izzy’s mom, Marcela, because they were to meet this Sunday to pick up Izzy. I asked them to keep communications through me but they didn’t. They started texting back and forth and the Mayalls asked Marcela how big Izzy was so they could purchase a crate. Marcela was appalled and told them she never uses a crate and Izzy doesn’t need a crate and she was crated too much in a too-small crate in her original home. All of that is true; however, Pam told her that they have 2 cats — actually kittens — so they’ll need a crate to protect them and teach them and Izzy. Marcela went off again and said Izzy hates cats — also true, but I had told Pam that and she was willing to work with her to teach her and to protect her cats by always supervising Izzy. Izzy has not lived with cats, but she wants to chase them. Airedale, huh?Then Marcela sent her a photo of Izzy jumping up in the air trying to catch a drone in the house. Pam freaked. Said she’s never seen an Airedale that big that could almost touch the ceiling. I’ll attach the photo. As you can see and as I pointed out to Pam, it’s just the perspective. Izzy is 65 lbs. Pam thought that was huge. Also, Marcela accidentally sent her a text that she had intended for her own husband. It was in Spanish. Pam thought the husband sent it to her and she understands Spanish. But you can see that Pam could have misunderstood Marcela.
I have translated it and I know what Marcela was saying, but Pam took it another way, apparently. Regardless of the reasons and the miscommunications between them, now Pam says that this just isn’t meant to be and they are not going to adopt Izzy.
Here’s the translation:
“Now I don’t understand anything.”
“They have 2 cats that are like children. And to this dog the publication said there are no cats.” (Perra in Spanish can mean a female dog or a Bitch.) Yes, our post did say no cats. But Pam understood that meant that she would chase a cat. With kittens, we agreed that Pam could keep them separate and slowly introduce them carefully to Izzy.Izzy is negative for heartworms. I have the paperwork from the vet.

See below. I’m ready to wring Marcela’s neck. Apparently, in a series of texts, Marcela and Pam discussed Izzy. Pam asked how big Izzy was bc she was going to buy her a crate and Marcela said no, do not crate her. We never crate her because she is good in the house or something. Pam explained that she had 2 cats and that’s why she needed to be crated and Marcela told her that Izzy hates cats and that he had lived with cats (not true) and had nipped at all the children (not true). Pam & Joe knew that Izzy hates cats but we talked bout how they could keep the cats separate and supervise any introductions once they felt safe. I told Pam also that Izzy had nipped one of Marcela’s children and that in the previous home once the new baby was born, Izzy didn’t like the child and would growl if he came near her.Plus, Marcela’s husband sent Pam an email all in Spanish and she, fortunately, understood it. He may have been the one saying all this. IDK. But, we MUST find a home and get Izzy out.

Pam, I am sorry if my english is not the best, but I said she doesn’t need to be crated. I completely understand that she needs to if you have little kittens. And also, it is not my decision to make because Izzy is yours from the minute you get her.
One thing is what I did but I didn’t have any other animals to take in consideration.
I didn’t want to change your mind. You asked me and I answered with my honest opinion of what we did.If you had Airedales and dogs you know what you need to do. And Jackie told me you will be the perfect owner for her! So we were so happy to find a place like yours.
Please reconsider. As I say it was my opinion of what we did, not an instruction of what you need to do from now on.
Thanks,
Marcela Martinez

Subject: IzzyIt turns out Marcela does NOT want her crated, even at first. We had wanted her to get used to her new environment, at night and with the kittens.
I’m afraid this just won’t work after all.
Thank you for all your good work.
We hope Izzy finds just the right home.

Cell (703) 298-927208-07-2020. Her lab is a big girl nearly 100 lbs. 5 years old. Craig retired. I talked to her about Izzy, but the more I think about it, I’m concerned that Izzy would not get along with the lab. Nancy says the lab loves other dogs, but Izzy is dominant and reactive to other dogs on leash and at the dog park. She can live with small dogs and has. I’m going to withdraw my offer of Izzy to them.
My snail mail address is:
105 Powers Rd.
Winston -Salem, NC 27106
336-407-761008-07-2020: Called Lori to see if she would pull the Airedale Baxter from the Forsyth Humane Society.
08-06-2020: Susanne Ridgeway, Savannah, GA. Gave up 8-mo-old Grace who is so terrified of everything and anxious, it’s heartbreaking. Did not reveal these issues.
Catherine Nifong: Sent email to info@ARG to relinquish an Airedale named Baxter then sent a photo. JMC responded and said I’ll contact you later. When I tried to contact, no phone no., and emailed and asked for the number, she responded that she had taken him to the Winston-Salem Humane Society.
08-06-2020: Hi Jackie,
Thanks so much for getting back to us with this information. We will take a look at the list of trainer information and try to get something set up. We had already purchased the Zylkene so we’ve started that today. From what I’ve read it takes 2-3 days to start working and we purchased a 2 week supply. We can definitely give Particular Paws a try as well (thinking when the Zylkene runs out).
We’ve been taking her out to go potty much more frequently. She is going out the front door a bit easier, walking slightly better on the leash but still has high anxiety the entire time we are outside. Opening garage doors, light poles, cars driving by will all throw her into a panic. She will usually do a short pee, poos are harder to come by. We will keep working on this. She has improved some in the house too, a bit braver and more relaxed (when there are no fast movements or loud noises!)
We will continue to keep you posted. Thank you for your support.
Melissa

I read about Zylkene and it is quite expensive. Its main ingredient is a milk protein. It is highly rated and is listed as “Amazon’s Choice.” The product my friend, Cyn Mobley, who has been in rescue 30 years and operates a Waystation for rescue dogs being transported from the South to the North and Northeast US, recommends Particular Paws. It is much cheaper and she says it’s great for calming anxious dogs. Here’s the link on Amazon. I’ve ordered a bottle to be sent to you.
I’ve also looked through trainers listed on the ccpdt.org page and these 2 specifically are behavior-trained. That does not mean they are Veterinary Behaviorists.
Here is a link to behaviorists in Raleigh listed through the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.
https://www.dacvb.org/search/newsearch.aspI saw your video and one thing that has occurred to me for the short term is keeping Grace tethered to you in the house and outside. She learns that where you go, she can go. You can also be watchful for her to try to eliminate in the house and immediately get her outside. I know this is not possible every minute, but it can do a lot to let her know that she is safe.
ARG will commit to helping with the cost of training Grace so that she can overcome her anxiety. We know it will be a process and it will not be easy, but she is worth it. Please contact one of the trainers first for a consultation. It will require that they come to your home and meet Grace. ARG will pay for this consultation. They would routinely issue a consultation report that should outline what they plan to do to help her. We will evaluate and go from there. If neither of these trainers believes they can help Grace, we can consider one of the DACVB behaviorists.
Thank you for contacting me about Grace and her anxiety. It is heartbreaking to think of her fears and anxieties of everyday situations and objects. We will help.
Jackie
