Awareness C. AWARENESS
C 1. Why do you want to adopt an Airedale? I have always enjoyed large dogs, but as I get older, I know I want an active mid sized dog to have as a constant companion.. Someone who can chill out and watch tv at night and play in the yard while I work in the yard or garage by day.
C 2. What do you know about Airedales? What qualities appeal to you? I like the exuberant personality. I love grooming and trimming. I once had a Kerry blue, and thoroughly loved her mannerisms and quick wit and the fact that she loved wearing the outfits I put together for her. I would imagine an Airedale would have a simular disposition.

D 7. What will you do if your dog gets lost? I doubt that my dog will get lost, but I am sure my neighbors will call if my dog should happen to get out, as I always rivet contact information to harnesses and collars.

E 11. Have you ever had a dog that ran away or escaped from your home or car? Please explain. I had a KerryBlue Terrier that was raised in a pet crate until she was 8 months old. I bought her from a pet store that could not handle her in any way. Took me 3 weeks to get her to let me brush her and sit in my lap. She was scared and snapped and bit me several times. The owner came in one night and saw me working with her. Watched me and her for nearly an hour… offered her to me for a rediculously low price. Any way…She spooked at loud noises. One afternoon, Pop decided to give her a bath and removed her collar. About that time, a dump truck came up the neighbors drive , Shasta took off like her tail was on fire. We never did find her. Looked all over for her for months. I hope whoever got her loved her as much as we did.
E 12. Have you ever had a dog hit by a car? Explain. Yes. I had a black lab named Maggie May Sing. She liked the sound of her own voice. She was a natural at fetch, went to work with me every day. Slept in the sunroom every night. With a hunting dog, I like to let them go through 1 heat cycle before having them spayed. Mags started her cycle at 10 months, I called to get her an appointment. And put her in an enclosed pen(60’×40′) with a large building for shelter. I took off for work. One of my cousins stopped by to borrow something that was in the building and let the dog out to play, not realizing she was in heat. Mag had never shown any interst in going down to the highway. She did on that day. Couple of teenagers hit her. Crushed her muzzle. I had the vet sleep her, because the vet said that she would never be able eat, breath, or fetch normally again.. I hated to lose my Mags, but I swear that young couple took the loss even worse than I did.
E 13. Under what circumstances would you give up a dog? If I were diagnosed with a terminal issue, I would will her to a family member so I could vist with her til the end and she could have a smooth transition to a new normal.
E 14. Have you ever had to give up a dog? Please explain your experience. No.

Consent M. CONSENT
By submitting this form, I certify that the information I have provided is true and accurate. I am physically, emotionally, and financially able to care for an Airedale. I understand that Airedales require both physical and mental stimulation to thrive and I will provide both. I understand that Airedales that come into rescue may not have been trained or socialized properly and may need extra time, patience, and care to adjust to a new environment. This may include the need to attend pet obedience classes to help build a better bond with the new dog in the home. I understand that proper food and veterinarian care can be costly, and I am able to meet these needs. I agree that Airedale Rescue Group may check my veterinarian, groomer and personal references, as well as, my landlord, if applicable. Home visits will be conducted prior to and following an adoption to ensure the safe-keeping of the Airedale. ARG reserves the right to decline adoptions. ARG reserves the right to reclaim any dog who, in our judgment, appears neglected, abused, unkempt, or unsafe. ARG reserves the right to reclaim any dog for non-payment of the adoption fee at any time. I hereby agree, and consent
Signed: Laura Lynn Hayes01/21/2020: I found their names and email in a list of “Adopters prior to 2007”! But they say on the app they’ve never adopted from any Airedale rescue. Interesting

Jessica Tennes, Southern Pines, jessicatennes@earthlink.net01/17/2020: Karen Terry will pick up Duke from Greg and take him directly to Critter Fixer Veterinary Hospital in Byron, GA (near her).
202-B Hwy 49
South Byron, GA 31008
Ph: 478-956-2332He will have medical records from Greg’s vet, Dublin Veterinary Hospital in Dublin, GA 478-272-7777.
We know he’s had his rabies, but give bordatella, dhpp, if required. He is microchipped, please scan and provide the chip number to us. Check him for HW and other parasites. Check general health. Neuter.
Give flu shot. Bath before neutering, including nails, anal glands.
neutering, anesthesia, antibiotics + pain injection $25, 3 pills to go with him for pain.
Wellness check.I spoke to Tammy. They have my number and will call if any questions.
01/15/2020 Offered Duke to Jennie Latimer. When she returned my call she was almost in tears. She said when she left yoga class today she stopped by the cemetery to go by her father’s grave and the last thing she told him was to please send her an Airedale. That’s amazing!
They want Duke. She can’t pick him up Saturday however. She could probably get him Sunday or Monday.
In the meantime I called Karen Terry and she will pick him up and get him to her vet to get him neutered and bathed and I can get Jennifer to get him after that.
01/15/2020 Karen will pick up Duke from Greg Covington and take him to her vet to be boarded and neutered. She can’t take him home because she has 2 male dogs.
01/15/2020: Lisa doesn’t really want Duke and bc of her physical limitations right now, her husband doesn’t want her to get him. She would prefer that we get someone else to get Duke.
01/15/2020: Per Kelly, the Spains got an Airedale but still might be interested in the future in getting another.
01/14/2020: Spoke to Lisa re Airedale posted on Airedale Terrier Owners Group in Macon, GA. She reached out to the man who posted, Greg Covington, and they had a good conversation and she told him she wanted the Airedale – a 2-year-old male, intact, who escaped his fence, ran after his dad in a truck, and ended up at a neighbor’s house and got in a fight with neighbor’s beagle. Beagle got hurt. He wants to rehome him because he’s afraid he’ll get shot or hurt another dog or child and be labeled a dangerous dog and will have to be put down.
Anyway, Lisa has his trust and told him she could pick up the dog, Duke, on Saturday. She would try to make it work with her Ellie, but if he didn’t work out would get him to ARG.
Lisa is 8 weeks out from a double mastectomy. She had the estrogen related breast cancer — same as her mom had 20 years ago — and opted for a double mastectomy. No radiation, no chemo – although if I understood her correctly, she could have chemo but chose not to. She was on her way to the acupuncturist for pain management. She’s fine other than that.
Phone 843-422-1615
She will let me know if Greg Covington decides she can have the Airedale.
01/14/2020: Rhonda called back. It’ not her Airedale. (Actually he’s been reclaimed by owner anyway.)
Talked for a while. She’s working from home,
01/14/2020: Rhonda called and said her boy was safe at home. Tucker is his name and he’s wonderful. She works from home most of the time and he’s right there with her. I told her we had several people in the Huntsville/Decatur area and she wants me to hook her up to them.
I’ll do that.
01/14/2020: Notified by Chris Lincoln of a found Airedale in Athens, AL. I called Rhonda Holley to see if it’s hers; lvm.
01/14/2020: Emailed and called Karen Terry to see if she might be able to help us with a potential rescue situation. Greg Covington posted on FB about his 2-y-o Airedale. We’re trying to get him. I’ve left him a vm but not heard back yet.
