10/08/19: Scott & Lois Romahn adopted Dexter. They met Joey & Paige outside of Atlanta and picked him up. He got along with their dogs and with their son Jacob.
10/10/19: The Slenkers want Bella-Jo. Shawn is willing to drive to Fayetteville NC to pick her up bc Renee is on vacay in FL.
10/10/19: The Slenkers want Bella-Jo… NOW! They can meet someone this weekend to get her. However, Renee is on vacay in FL and won’t be back until Sunday eve, the 13th. She was willing to drive to Columbia on Tuesday morning the 15th to meet someone, and I told Shawn/Julie that. Shawn countered with he would drive to Fayetteville Saturday, stay overnight, and pick up Bella-Jo Sunday morning and take her home.
Renee has agreed to this, though she is sad that she will not get to say goodbye. Her dog-sitter will be at her home.
Bella has a regular collar and leash, has never tried to get away or bolt after anything or out a door. She rides well in the car.
Renee is going to connect me to her dog-sitter and I’ll connect us and Shawn.
10/10/19: Offered Bella Jo to the Rokicki’s but they have declined because they really want a male.
Now offered to The Slenkers!
But, still waiting for med records from Renee. I called the vet’s office but they won’t release them.
10/08/19:
Nancy & Phillip both retired
Big yard fenced chain link
2 story house
No problem walking
No sidewalks
No other animals
rokickiassociate@bellsouth.netOffered Bella Jo to the Rokicki’s. They’ve turned her down. They really want a male.
10/10/19: They are interested in Bella Jo and I had to tell them she’s been offered to Nancy Rokicki. The Rokicki’s have decided against her. I’ve offered Bella to the Slenkers.
10/10/19: Got an email from Yana that they’re interested in Bella-Jo. yanawhitman@yahoo.com.
Hi Jackie,
Hope you are well. We filled out adoption paperwork and got cleared last year. I saw your FB post about Bella Jo. Our family is interested in adoption.
We previously resided in SC, but as you may recall we are in Asheville, NC now. We already have a Goldendoodle, Bo, who will be two in Jan. He is very sweet, affectionate and also loves people. He plays well with other dogs.
Look forward to hearing from you about next steps?
(Just realized how cute Bo and Bella sounds.)
My cell is 408-663-3005 if you’d like to talk. Thanks.
Best,
Yana09/17/19: Hi, Dianne. I was thinking of you and thought I remembered a message from you recently. Well, this was way back in June, so not really recent! Anyway, I obviously never got back to you tomorrow! Maggie is – from all reports – doing great with her family in VA. They have continued to communicate with Cindy Green who gives them tips when issues come up, but they love her and she is comfortable and calm now. How’s that little Golden pup? Growing like a week, I’ll bet! Otherwise, hope all is well with you. Let me know if you decide you want a big fuzzy dog.
That’s good to hear about Maggie, we felt so bad about the situation. Gabby and I are doing well, she is my best friend and gives me lots of comfort yes, I still look at your Airedale’s !
10/09/19: That is great news, Paige! Thank you so much!

Hi, Paige.
I have copied Scott & Lois Romahn, the folks who want Dexter. They can come Wednesday. As they’ll be driving from Clemmons, NC to Atlanta on I-85, it will take 5 to 5-1/2 hours, so they could arrive by early afternoon, say 1:00 – 1:30. Is there any chance you could meet them up I-85 a bit, say away from most of the Atlanta traffic? Maybe there’s a park where you could meet?
Please reply all to let us know. We are so happy that you are willing to trust Airedale Rescue Group to find Dexter the right home!
Thank you!

Hey Jackie,
That sounds like a great fit. I love that they said they would take on a devil dog – lol! We are available to meet any day of the week, but weekdays are easier. Since we run our own business morning meetings are not a problem!
Thank you for all that you do,

Hi, Joey & Paige. We have more than 30 approved adopters waiting for Airedales, or I should say, for specific Airedales. Ruling out those who are gone 8-10 hours a day, those with cats, those with toddlers living in the same house, those without Airedale experience, those who want an older Airedales, a settled Airedale, a tiny Airedale!, not a high-energy Airedale, a female only, etc., I have a few good people, none of whom are in the Atlanta area!
My first choice is a family in Clemmons, NC, who are ADT experienced, currently have two small terriers, are home all the time because they’re retired and healthy: (they heat their home with firewood and do all the work on the farm with 5 horses themselves!), a half acre fenced area (separate from the horses), and replied with this when asked what kind of temperament would best suit their household:
What kind of temperament would best suit your household? Check all that apply.
a. Energetic, always on the go , b. Sweet and cuddly , d. Loves to walk, run or hike, e. Devil dog – needs constant watching or will chew the house down , f. Protector of the house – barks loud , g. Patient and tolerant of kids , h. Able to be one of several animals in our home or in our friend’s homes.They have two grandchildren 6 and 3 who visit a couple times a year and are working with the older one on agility training with his dog!
I will see how soon they can come meet him!

Late Sept. 2019: I spoke to Doug & Jill about helping transport Maddox through Chattanooga but they were traveling and couldn’t help. They would consider an Airedale.

Hi Jackie & Barbara,
I met with Jenn and her son last evening for their home visit. They are both very nice and inviting. The son was very quiet and didn’t have much to say. I will try to list out my thoughts below as it will otherwise be a hard read.
She was honest about her living situation.
House was very clean and it seemed everything had its place. Well-kept.
New furniture and carpeting and tile.
I asked about crate training and she really couldn’t answer me. Her intent, I think, was to leave the dog out in the house. (“Would like to build a fenced run for them when she purchases a house”).
Dog will stay inside.
Small yard and no fencing. But a good neighborhood to walk the dog.
Semi Urban area with major road nearby.
Asked about vacation and she would have family or boarding.
Inquired about grooming. Her ex takes the dog to a groomer in Locust Grove, GA called Bethlehem Vet? I am not familiar with them but I have yet to find anyone that can groom mine around here.
Specifically asked if they are considered dogs or family members, response was, “family”.
I explained that it may take 4 weeks or over a year for a dog to begin to trust and acclimate to new surroundings as they have different backgrounds and with that they can have baggage to overcome. Patience and consistency are a must!
Her ex husband is a breeder Frankenfaustairedales and also authored a book (this I found out while researching his kennel https://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/BookDetails/283351-The-American-Sporting-Airedale
She is adamant about a 1-2 year old and her fear is an older dog is less likely to be integrated easily into their lifestyle and family. I tried to explain all dogs are different and come from different backgrounds.
Background discussion. She kept speaking of her ex’s kennel. As we know, within the breed all dogs are individuals.I explained thoroughly using my two as examples.
She is familiar with the breed but seems very green to dog handling and as the primary responsible party.
She spoke of finding the right dog and I think that is the key.
She wasn’t aware there was an adoption fee.
In conclusion, I think she would be a good candidate. I think she may have a learning curve with regards to being firm and the alpha of the house. I feel she is genuine but I have reservations about her not really having experience with a dog that was hers. I have not doubt she would love one. Overall, I would allow her to keep Jackson but not Ellie. I also offered to be a resource with any help or questions. She lives about 30 minutes away.If you have any questions let me know!
Thanks,
GaryI will notify Jennifer Jarman that she is approved for the right Airedale. I have my doubts about her. I would not put a very young, untrained Airedale with her.
We found out in June that Candice has Lou Gehrig’s disease and she will eventually need to give up Rusty.
10/08/19: Kara is interested in Bella-Jo, but I had offered her to Kim Austin & Kim Astler, so told her she was second in line and cautioned about Bella-Jo nipping at a 10-y-o child.
