(I pulled this from part of this app that is hidden, for some reason)07-26-2020 JMC email to Susanne:
Hi, Susanne. We have a home for Grace. It is a young couple in Raleigh NC who have a 2-yo neutered male Airedale. The man is a fitness instructor, the woman has just started a new job (can’t remember what kind) but she works remotely so Grace will rarely be alone. This couple was actively involved in the Florida Airedale Rescue organization and has fostered many Airedales over the years before moving to Raleigh. They have been approved to adopt since early March and are ready to welcome Grace into their home.I’ve told them that you travel to Columbia frequently and they would like to meet you there next weekend to pick up Grace if that’s convenient for you.
Let’s talk when you have time today or tomorrow to work out the details.
Thank you for trusting us with Grace’s future.

From Robert Hollingsworth July 24, 2020
Hey Jackie!Everyone at the vet office was talking about how sweet Millie (Bobbie) is! She makes friends everywhere she goes.
Everything went well with her check up. They wanted to do another round of antibiotics and did bloodwork (should have results Monday) so that she will be ready to begin her treatments in approximately 2 weeks. They said that other than the heart worms, she looks like a very healthy girl.
I did get her another month of heartgard and nexgard. But I wasn’t sure if she already had a heartworm preventative for this month, I know at one point you mentioned Cyn might give her a dose while in her care… I wanted to make sure before I gave her the heartgard.
They estimated the entire heartworm treamtment to be around $595. I’ll attach a photo of the estimate. $80 of which is the bloodwork that I went ahead with.
I will be sending more photos and keep you up to date on scheduling of treatments.
Thank you all again, she is the sweetest dog!
Robert & DanaHi, Robert & Dana. I’m trying to catch up today on everyone. I’m so glad your trip was safe, albeit very long. It’s all a memory to Millie (I like that better!) now. She will take some time to settle in (see graphic attached above). It’s an over-simplification, but a good overview.
I’m so glad Abigail loved her and got to meet her. You’ll have to send us some photos of the two of them.
Let me know how the vet visit goes. I’m sure my vet, Dr. Breland (901-323-1177), would be happy to talk to your vet if there are any questions about her pending treatment. We also want frequent updates on her settling in to your home and routine.
I will send you an adoption contract later today. I’m behind in my work.
Thank you for opening your home and hearts to Millie!

Hey everyone,
We made it home safely! Bobbie did really well on the drive. I left her in the back and she stayed back there and rode without causing any trouble at all. We stopped a few times for potty breaks, she was quick to jump out of the car, but never tried to pull away. She walks pretty good on a leash, she stayed right beside me all the time.
When we arrived at home, it was just before Abigail’s bedtime. They were able to meet and Abigail might have already renamed her as Millie (her favorite character on the show Team Umizoomi). She was full of giggles and smiles!
Bobbie (Millie) is exhausted from the trip and already found a spot on the floor to rest. She’s not the only one that is tired, it ended up being an 11 hour round trip. Luckily, traffic was not bad and there were only short periods of rain.
We have a vet appointment at 3:30 tomorrow and will let you know the game plan for treatment.
Thank you all again!

Subject: Transport of Bobbie, Airedale, July 22, 2020Hello, friends of Airedale Rescue Group. Thank you all for helping us get this sweet, nearly 2-year-old female Airedale to her forever home. She is a sweetheart and has never met a stranger, 2-legged or 4-legged, and rides well, but she doesn’t like getting into cars. Bobbie will be traveling with a crate that is collapsible (if you don’t want to use it), a Kong toy, and treats. I have emailed her medical records to her new home. She has a rabies tag and ID tag and is microchipped but has NO microchip tag.
Please make sure I have all of your phone numbers correct below. I will send a group text once I know for sure so we’re all connected.

Regular safety – Bobbie has been known to try to back out of her leash. I believe her foster dad has purchased a harness for her for this trip because she just chewed up her 2nd Martingale collar today that we normally use for transports. Please be aware of Bobbie when opening car doors, transferring her from person to person, always making sure a hand is on the leash. Remember that she may be confused by the recent changes in her life, including this transport. Unless necessary, remain in the car with A/C until transport transfer occurs; when opening car doors, ensure that the leash is secured. We recommend closing the car door on the end of the leash (with about 4-6 inches hanging outside the door) unless she is in a crate so that when you take her out of the vehicle you can have your hand on the leash before you even open her door. When allowing potty breaks, ensure that collar/leash(s) are tight for no escape; be aware of surroundings – even a plastic bag in the wind may spook a dog in unfamiliar settings. Do not let her off-leash at any time 😊COVID safety – please use COVID-19 precautions. Please wear a mask when meeting the next volunteer, and employ social distancing. One example may be for the arriving Driver to get Bobbie out of their car and the accepting driver unlocks their car to allow Bobbie into it. After touching the leash from the other driver, use your hand sanitizer.
Heat Safety – It’s going to be very hot tomorrow. Do not feel the need to walk her outside if you arrive early. Sitting in the car in the A/C will be fine for her. Please bring along a bowl and a bottle of water and offer water to Bobbie at each handoff. We want to be sure that she stays hydrated in this hot weather, but don’t be overly concerned if she doesn’t drink at each handoff. She might also appreciate a small treat or two.
All times are approximate, allowing time for Bobbie to sniff around, go potty, and have a drink of water. (Humans, too.) Please call the next driver if you see that you are running behind or run into any problems. And, please let me know when you have handed Bobbie over to the next person. PHOTOS ARE APPRECIATED!!!

DO NOT USE GPS TO GET TO CYN’S. USE THESE DIRECTIONS
Coming from the west on 40, take the bypass Interstate 140 (aka Pellissippi Parkway) toward Maryville.
Go about 11 miles, then take exit 11B. This will put you on Alcoa Highway heading toward Knoxville.
Watch for a right exit to Governor John Sevier Highway aka Highway 168. (If you get to the Navy and Marine Corp Reserve Center on your left, you have gone too far and missed the turn.)
On Highway 168: Go 3.5 miles to the first traffic light. There’s a gas station there.
Turn RIGHT at the gas station onto Martin Mill Pike. Go 1 mile.
Turn RIGHT at Bonnie Cate school to stay on Martin Mill Pike. (You will be following signs to Library and to Stock Creek Baptist church. Go 1 mile.)
Turn LEFT at Stock Creek Baptist Church onto Stock Creek Road. Go almost 1 mile.
You will see a gravel driveway and an old barn on your right.
There is a reflective sign that says ARI — very hard to miss.
Please don’t park on the grass — if it has rained at all, you’ll get stuck

Leg 6: Jackie is still working on this. Bobbie’s new family lives in Asheboro, NC, which is 5 hours east of Knoxville.

07-23-2020: From Shawn:
Lol! No worries at all! Her appointment is not until the 13th as she is just coming out of heat.
She is doing great in the house , but does have a bit of separation anxiety. She is a very sweet nature’s gal and loves to be near people. She isn’t doing great with the Fox Terriers, but some of that is them. She really is a big goofy puppy.😊The photo of the skin issue is horrible. Open, deep sores 2 inches long on top of his spine.
The two hooligans have gone to Ruff Housing for a playdate, which is auspicious timing since we’re suffering a deluge of rain. None of them went far from the deck when I put them out, and Master Zeke will have to go out to relieve himself, again, at some point, but isn’t warmly inclined.We tried apple cider vinegar, and aloe , on the stuff healing on his back, but neither helped, so I am picking up some ointment AND a cone of shame from Cobb this morning. I hate having to put that thing on him, especially since he’ll be wearing it, again, in ten days, but he can bet back there, past the inflatable one, so we have no choice. And dressing it wouldn’t solve the problem, he’d get that off in no time.
Our housekeeper/homewatcher is here. She breeds Bull Mastiffs, and is quite knowledgeable. She pointed out that he still has his baby molars, pegging him at closer to a year, or less, age-wise. I’ll make sure Dr. Clark changes the records at Cobb to reflect a much more recent birthdate, although we’ll never know, for sure.
I’ve also got a bag of large breed puppy food coming. Kim also thinks he may still be growing, and, of course, we don’t know what he was fed prior, but it can’t hurt to give him a few weeks of nutrition that supports fast-growing young bones and joints.
These pictures are also in his OneDrive folder. As promised, I WILL get some better, high-resolution portraits for the ARG site, once we get those ugly spots on his back healed over. One step at a time…

Hi, Shawn. What a great dog she is. Wow, I just can’t believe no one was looking for her. Thanks for the pdfs of her records.If you can get an appointment at the spay-neuter clinic, that would be great.

I have attached all of Jana’s vet records. I assume she will need to be spayed as well. We use the Humane Society of Union County’s Spay Neuter clinic for our personal Foxies and also Midwest Rescues. Gail is their trainer and it is really close by. Here is a link to check them out . I can set it up if you like or if you want to use Dr. Nicks it can only be on a Wednesday as it’s quite a hectic drive uptown.
Jana is doing great. I was so happy that her heart worm test came back negative. Dr. Nicks couldn’t find anything wrong with her leg and it seems to be getting better as well. She enjoys car rides a little better now and we are working on leash training. She still tries to back out of her color, but once you get her going she does quite well. She is a very happy girl that loves to play and do her zoomies. She acts much like a big goofy puppy. So fun!!
Thanks,
Shawn
07-23-2020: Joi applied to Southwest Airedale Terrier rescue and Sidney Hardie sent me her app.
Compare the apps.
Send her an email telling her she’s approved when we find an Airedale that is right for her.On 07/07/2020 7:22 PM amyrauhauser@aol.com wrote:
Hi Jackie,
Just wanted to give you an update on Remy. We took him to the vet last evening after he continued with the diarrhea and then vomited yesterday afternoon. They are running tests which we haven’t gotten results from yet, but did give him 3 different meds to help and of course suggested the bland diet. Finally, this evening his bowel was a little better and he didn’t have any accidents in the house. (YAY!!!) Last night was the first night that he made it through the night too. Poor guy!!! Hoping tomorrow will be even better and we’ll get him back to feeling better. Even through all of this, he was up to 68.5 lbs last night! He’s a big guy! lol
Thanks for all your support. I’ll let you know if anything shows with the tests.
07/08/2020 from Amy:
That’s Remy with Gene. He actually sat on Gene’s lap at one point when Gene was sitting on the floor! lol He’s a big lover, just a rough player which we’re working on.We’re not sure what caused the fight. I believe it was a jealousy thing or a dominance thing. We had/have to break it up and we’ll put Remy in his crate. We only let him in there for 10-15 minutes, but it seems to quiet them. I have to admit, we had a scary fight Sunday night, but when we mentioned it to the vet, she seemed ok with it and felt that it was normal but separating them was the best thing.
I’ll keep you informed of Remy’s progress. Today I just made them sit separately for a few minutes and that seemed to work. Fingers crossed! lol

07-08-2020 from Cindy green
Thanks, Jackie,
I offered some guidance to Amy last night on how to coach and monitor the interactions. Again think they are rushing things and expecting too much from both of them. Although I always ask people to practice a slow structured 10-14 day introduction period and offer info on this process, seems I can never get people on board. I always do this in my home with fosters.
In my description of Remy as well in my emails to Amy , I noted Remy’s primary issue is rough play.
They are definitely trying, I give them a lot of credit there. Poor guy has also struggled with diarrhea so both dogs probably stressed.
I will forward by response last night.Cindy
Gee they are cute. Gene looks content too.In my opinion I would let the play growing go but if any one starts to stare down the other or get a tense stance I give a stern talking and put them away -crate or room for a short 10 minute break. Typically they are good with boundaries. Like kids!!
07-09-2020 from Amy:
Thank you Jackie,We’re not concerned with the bill and I hope that didn’t make you feel that we were. I really wanted you to know how he was doing since I had reached out earlier asking for suggestions. : ) We’re grateful that we’re able to care for him and give him a home with us!
His stool results came back negative, so no parasites, etc. I don’t think they really know what caused it. He’s almost back to normal stool. I KNOW he’s ready to get back to real food! This boy eats!!! Holy moly!! lol
As always, thank you for all that you do for these sweet babies.
