******** NOTE******** NEW EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THEM**********
Beth is a friend of mine from Airedale terrier club of FL. I have talked to her a few times recently and we have discussed what her requirements for a female Airedale that she was looking for.
I will talk to her at length in the next couple days and see about getting a HV scheduled.I talked with them for quite awhile and they are a great older couple that is very active. You would never know they are 80! Have have many Airedales, but their last dog passed a few years ago, not an Airedale. they have a cat, but she is feral so she is in and out of the house, mostly outside, but when talking to their vet, she is spayed and gets all her vaccines. They have a fenced in yard, but like to get out and walk. They also watch their neighbor’s dog a lot, she is a 15 lb. mixed breed and the neighbor also has 2 young sons, 4 and 6 so if they adopt an Airedale, they want a female, she will need to be good with cats, small dogs, and young kids.
Linley, their one reference is the one that has the dog and kids. She had nothing but great things to say about Anne and Jack and knows that they are able to take care of an older dog.
Vet reference showed that the cat has updated and current vaccines and they got her spayed that was feral prior. Their previous dog they had brought there was also UTD on shots and HW tests and they used Trifexis for preventative.Was waiting for the other reference to call, but I am ok to say they are good to go for a HV now.
Gail is at Diversity K9 working with Nicole the trainer for a bit to get to know what she needs to work on when she takes Duchess to foster at her home. She will be taking her home today 1/28/26.

Subject duchess fosterI have read over the foster contract from ARG and agree and accept it.
I do not have access to a fax machine.
If you want to send me the contract snail mail I can sign and mail it back to you if necessary.
GailI talked with Julie today for awhile and she thinks that an Airedale is the right dog for them. They do have a cat, though. I explained to her that we rarely get pups under 1 year old, so they would be open to a 2 or 3 year old. They have a large fenced in yard and also she has her own retail business so she would take the dog to work, also. They have a farm with acres so they would also take the dog around the property and introduce slowly to their animals via leash.
The one thing that I am holding back on for a Home Visit is when I called the vet, they had no records of heartworm preventative and last time they were there was 2023. I called Julie back and asked if she could get the records from a previous vet she said she had used. She said she had a prescription she was using, but I find that hard to believe it was still active from 2023, so I am waiting to hear back from her for proof of preventatives.
Called and left a message a couple times. Sent them an email today. I see they want a puppy to a year old…….but will let them know about our dogs we have and see if they are interested……..
Duchess is starting to do well in her training with Nicole at Diversity K9. She is very sweet and will be assessed more with other dogs as the days go. She is booked there til 2/8/26.
Update 1/20/26. The Huber’s have agreed to adopt Sam. They will also help transport and do any short term fostering for us in the future, as well. Great family! Contract will be signed and sent back.
Update 1/20/26.
Sam has done fantastic with boarding and training and have gone back to the Huber’s. They have agreed to adopt him. Contract waiting to be sent and signed. A good ending for Sam and the Huber’s. Their son, Cash, will be mainly responsible for training and taking care of Sam. He is very excited to have his own dog.
