    Home visit completed and home approved for a ‘dale! New wood stockade fence with secure gates. Home is definitely dog friendly as Lynnley has a bed downstairs in the family room where she works from home, as well as food and water right there in the kitchen. A bed is also upstairs in her bedroom and water available in the bathroom. Neighborhood is very walkable, minimal car traffic.

    Hi Bella,

    How does next Sunday around 330pm work? Weekdays are tough for me but I’m pretty open on Sunday.

    Also- we’re actually having a Charlotte airedale group meetup the day before at my house if you’d want to join! We get together once a month at a different house/dog bar – we have anywhere from 5 to 25 airedales show up. It’s a blast! It is on Saturday 1/4 from 10-12 at 3945 Langhorne Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205.

    If you want to text me, that would be easiest to coordinate.

    Thank you,

    ulie,
    Thanks for getting back to me. I will put your application on hold. If you decide to pursue Airedale Rescue, please reach out to me and we’ll proceed with another/different contact for your reference. Also, emailed your employer, but they haven’t responded as yet, though for me that’s a non-issue considering your place of employment!! Have a Merry Christmas and a safe, Happy New Year!

    Warmly,

    Hi Kelly:
    I just learned that she has been facing some additional challenges, so we can postpone this or I will forward another contact.
    I am reconsidering options now as well and may just foster for EENP (assistance dogs) for a while when I return in January.
    Merry Christmas and happy New Year,
    Julie

    Hi Julie,

    I’m having a really hard time getting a hold of Lorraine Morrison (the 2nd reference you provided) I have left multiple text messages and voicemails to no avail. Would you please send me her email address and I’ll try that? Also, if you could reach out to her and ask her to call me that would be great. I can’t move forward with your application until I get this piece of the puzzle. Thanks Julie.

    Airedale Rescue Group
    Phone Interview: Julie Nettifee
    December 17, 2024

    Julie has lived in her home for 20 yrs. She describes her neighborhood as homes that were built in the 80s & 90s, smaller homes on large 1-3 acre lots. Almost everyone has dogs, some have sheep and/or horses. It’s a pet friendly neighborhood. Very limited traffic, but just down the road from a park with trails.

    She recently lost her Lab-Terrier mix this past March that she got from the Durham shelter. “Phoenix” was 14 years old. She usually always had 2 dogs of different ages…always rescues/adopts.

    Julie is a licensed Vet Tech and is employed at NC State College of Vet Med.
    She loves the Airedale, but has not had one in past, though she suspects that she may have had a dog that was part Airedale. She has Airedale exposure through her work. She states that she likes their temperament. She is not opposed to an Airedale mix. She is able to groom them herself, but would prefer to let someone else do the grooming. She is very aware of the cost involved in having a dog.

    Whatever dog she adopts must be CAT FRIENDLY.

    She would prefer a puppy/younger dog as she could train it to be cat friendly. She would accept a dog up to 5-6 years old providing it was cat friendly. Julie does pet sitting on the side.

    Ref: Has known applicant x 25 years. Lives about 15 min. from applicant. Describes Julie as very knowledgeable and that she will on occasion call her about her own animals. She states that Julie has usually had mixed breeds & did have a Standard Poodle at one point that ended up being a foster fail. Julie loves her animals, she grew up around animals and respects them & doesn’t want to see them harmed.

    Combined Weight limit of 85 lbs.

    Isabella Montes Phone Interview
    December 9, 2024

    Isabella Montes is single, age 25. She lives in an apartment, but will be moving to a larger apartment on the ground floor within her same complex later this month. Her neighborhood is in what she called “South End Charlotte” on the rail trail. She lives near a park, can walk to the store…she said the neighborhood is very walkable.

    She currently has no pet living with her. Her parents and grandparents live about 30 minutes away. Their yard is fenced and her parents currently have a schnauzer and a cat.
    Isabella works 10 minutes from home, working an 8 am to 5 pm day. She gets 1 hour for lunch, and says that she could come home during lunch to let a dog out etc. She travels a couple of times a year for work. She works in construction.

    Her exposure to Airedales is a friend had an Airedale that was a really sweet dog. Her ex-boyfriend also had/has an Airedale.

    I informed Isabella that I would need to see a copy of the clause in her lease stating that she can have a dog.

    Regarding rescue, she doesn’t really have a sex preference though she admits she’s always had females. She would prefer and age range of 1yr. to 3-4 yrs. She cannot tolerate aggression stating that she is a very social person and a lot of her friends have dogs.

    I explained that it often takes a few months for a rescue to settle in. She wanted to know if we do meet and greets. I told her that the logistics are prohibitive and it’s not good for the dog.

    Ref: Was aware that applicant wanted to adopt a dog. Has known applicant since 2012. Applicant has watched her dogs. Describes her as very conscientious, the dog would have her utmost attention. Can think of not reason not to adopt out to her. “I trust her with my dogs.”

    Ref: Has known applicant for a couple of years. Applicant dog sits for her Golden Doodle. She says that her dog loves Isabella and that Isabella is all over her dog. Says she would be a great dog mom.

    Awaiting copy of lease clause.

    Heather,
    Airedale Rescue Group would like to thank you for your interest in and love of Airedales.
    After reviewing your application and your preferences, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we are unable to consider you for adoption. We consider vaccines and prevention an integral and essential part of responsible and compassionate ownership.
    Our goal at ARG is to find the best, most nurturing, healthy and permanent home for our Airedales.
    We wish you well in your search for an addition to your family. We are just unable to help at this time.
    Sincerely,
    Kelly Imbody, ARG

    Phone Interview: Heather Dyer
    November 23, 2024

    Heather lives in downtown Blue Ridge, GA which she describes as a “little tourist community”. She lives about 2 blocks from the center of town. She has a neighbor on one side of her and a lot on the other side. She admits that the road in front of her home is “highly travelled” and that she is planning on having a fence installed in the front. She has lived here since 2017.
    The back yard is fenced with a chain link fence and has 2 gates.
    Heather has quite a background involving animals. She and her children were active in 4H. She worked with dogs, goats, horses etc. She is going through what she called a nasty divorce. She has 2 female Anatolians, but they are with her husband living on the family farm. She said that he is keeping the animals just to be nasty.
    Heather was raised with an Airedale so is somewhat familiar with the breed though it has been a while. She states that she wants a protector. I asked her if she wanted a guard dog because she is frightened of her husband or if she just wanted one that would alert her to someone coming in the yard etc. She said that her husband was not an issue…she just wanted a dog that would be vigilant but also a companion.
    Heather has 2 daughters and 2 sons in the area. One son is currently living with her, but that is temporary…just another year if that. She also has a good friend in the area that would be available to watch the dog if needed.
    She would prefer a dog less than 3 years old and would prefer a male. She would also consider and Airedale mix.

    Ref: has known applicant for about 15 years. States Heather is great with animals. “She is almost like a Vet. People call her all the time and ask her what to do”. Describes Heather as a true animal lover, so kind and caring. States that Heather is the kind of person that just needs a dog.

    Ref: has known applicant since 1986. Said that she had a trainer work with her Anatolians. “She loves animals. She is a horse person and spent many years with applicant riding, training and competing.”

    Vet: Spoke with Vet tech. Anatolians have not been seen since 2022. On 2/18/2022 Corey & Betsy were brought in for their puppy shots. Shortly after puppy shots, Betsy was brought in for a suspected UTI. In September of 2022 Corey was seen for an allergy issue.
    I called applicant. Asked if the dogs have not been seen since 2022 because they are with her ex. She said no. He has only had the dogs since May 2024. She went on to explain that she does not fully immunize her animals. She does not routinely give flea/tick/heartworm preventative. She will give ivermectin if she sees fleas. (?) She does give rabies shot but the Vet Tech related no record of having been given. Heather relates that she tries to treat her animals wholistically. She related that one of the Anatolians did later develop a UTI which was treated successfully. I asked if she sees a wholistic Vet. “No, I just do a lot of research and studying”. She states that she is not anti-vet, but that she will try to treat problem herself. If she can’t figure it out or the animal is not getting well, then she will take them to the Vet.

    Tim reached out to me in early November stating that Mandy and Renee were coming for a 2nd HV. I didn’t hear anything back so texted him today asking regarding his status. The HV was cancelled as Tim’s mother has dementia and it is not an appropriate time for a dog. I told him to reach back out if/when his circumstances change.

    Airedale Rescue Group
    Phone Interview: Lynnley Ross
    November 24, 2024

    Lynnley lives in a neighborhood of single family homes. There is an HOA. There is a neighborhood pool. There is no thru traffic. They also have a place in Charleston, her husband works there and they travel back and forth it sounds like.

    The property in Greenville, SC has a 6’ privacy fence constructed of wood. You cannot see between the slats. She has family in the area, but dogs go with them on vacation and if boarding is needed they make use of Camp Bow Wow.

    Lynnley has had 4 Airedales. She is not quite ready for one yet as she recently lost her 4th one to a brain tumor. She wanted to complete the application process so that when she was ready, she was ready.

    She would prefer a male but that’s “just because I’ve had males before”. She would consider a female. She would consider anything from a puppy up to a Senior dog.

    VET: Emily, the tech knew Copper. She said that the Ross’ were very caring folks. Copper was up to date on flea/tick using Nexgard Plus. All vaccinations were up to date as well.

    Ref: Has known applicant and her husband since college…mid 1990’s. He has always known them to have Airedales. Says they are great with them. Treat them like family. Dogs were always well behaved. They would make any dog happy to have a home with them.

    Ref: (email from Germany) I have known Lynnley since the early 90s. She has been a great friend and a great pet parent!! She truly loves her pets! She was fantastic with Cooper, he was well mannered and well trained, he was a fun dog to be around. He loved boat rides and swimming in the lake. Please let me know if you need more information.
