Subject: Re: Airedale Rescue Group
Good afternoon Kelly!!
Thank you for your detailed email.
We totally understand and knew this before we decided to adopt.
I know that when adopting it may take time for the dog to get used to all of us. And I also know that is truly a great feeling to work through the issues by being patient, giving support, care and love as a family and try our best just like we would for any of out kid.
The issues that will concern us are
Aggression, bad chemistry between Sophie and the new sibling that no matter how hard we try may become unbearable.
We would like a young dog so we can help correct any behavior issues and act fast and seek trainers that can help us with it., I feel is harder if they are older.
Thank you again for all, and I will be in the lookout for the email from the person that’s coming for the home visit.
Have a great eveningAndrea

Subject: Airedale Rescue GroupHi Andrea,
It was good to “meet”/talk with you the other day about your desire to adopt an Airedale through ARG. I’m in the process of locating someone to do your home visit, so keep watching for an email to that effect. I just wanted to remind you of something that I neglected to mention when we spoke that’s important that you and your family realize. Airedales (most any dog that comes into rescue) usually, but not always, come with some emotional baggage or issues. Some are fairly benign, others not so much. The bottom line is that we want all of our folks that consider adoption to know that it will take time, patience, consistency and a lot of love when rehoming. That being said, our goal is to make the best fit for the dog and the family. We don’t want to cause additional unnecessary stress by failing at rehoming. I’m sure you were/are aware of this when you considered adoption…it truly is the BEST!!! Let me know if I should proceed with arranging for a home visit. I just felt bad that I forgot to mention this. Please call/email/text me if you have any questions or concerns. I’ll wait to hear from you as to how I should proceed.
Warmly,
Kelly Imbody, ARG

Airedale Rescue Group
Telephone Interview 7/18/2020
Andrea CroninAndrea lives in Johns Creek, GA which is a suburb on the NE side of Atlanta. She is married, has a 16 yr. old son, and an older son who is currently in VA in the Navy. They have a 2 ½ yr. old female Portuguese Water Dog whom they got as a puppy at 11 weeks. Her name is Sophia. Sophia uses her crate, not because she is destructive, (she does have a toilet paper fetish) but she was crate trained and it is her haven. So, she is slowly being given more freedom when she’s left alone for a short period of time. She is a counter surfer, so they have a gate for the kitchen. They’ve had interactive experience with Airedales via the local dog park and have come to like the breed and consequently have researched them a bit. The fact that Airedales are hypoallergenic appeals to them as Andrea is slightly allergic to some dogs and their son whom currently is away is allergic as well. They go to the dog park 1-2 times per week. They feel that the Airedale personality would fit nicely with the personality of Sophia and they would like her to have a playmate.
The yard is fenced with chain link and the latch is high up on the fence. They have a yard service and the technician calls to let them know when he’s coming and is very conscientious about shutting the gate behind him.
They vacation once or twice and year and depending on length of vacation, Sophia is boarded with the vet if it’s of short duration and at another boarding facility with “lots to do” if they plan to be gone longer.
Andrea doesn’t work, so she’s most always home with the exception of errands etc. Her husband travels for work. The 16 yr. old is home schooling due to Covid-19. He is Sophia’s playmate.
They would prefer a younger dog. Preferably a male as Andrea said that she’s heard that PWD’s prefer/do better with the opposite sex. She also stated that they were flexible as Sophia is very friendly. They would ideally prefer a dog under 3 ½ yrs. old.Personal reference has known Andrea for 7 years relating that their husbands work together. Personal reference does not have a dog. She says Sophia is high energy and rambunctious. Sophia prefers Andrea over Michael, her husband. She felt that Sophia really changed Andrea for the better. She can think of no reason(s) that ARG should not adopt to them.
Christina Prange completed the home visit.Hi – Sorry for the delay.
here are my thoughts. I would approve them. Knowing that they use invisible fence and always have for all of their dogs; they have only had female dogs. I don’t’ know if they’re open to male dogs.

To the Home Evaluator: This form can be used when doing a home visit to evaluate a potential family for a rescued Airedale. Adoption or foster applicants you are visiting have already met preliminary criteria by having their Adoption Application accepted and have passed the telephone interview.
When doing a home visit, please attempt to get as much information as asked for on this form. Ask questions, where appropriate, and get as many details as you can about the home environment. Some of the questions on this form may not apply to a particular home so use your own judgment.
If possible, bring a friend or another rescue volunteer with you on the home visit. This helps both for the purpose of having another pair of eyes and ears to assist you in making a complete evaluation and for your own personal safety.

Exterior unkempt/poorly maintained
Interior trashed/dirty
Describe the home interior:
Apartment was pretty run down. Natalie mentioned that the dog that lives there now was really hard to potty train so the carpet was pretty badly stained. I think this is more a reflection of the apartment being old and her roommates dog than anything about Natalie. She is moving to a brand new place so, I’m not sure what it will end up looking like.Accommodations:
In Natalie’s new condo, the dog would be staying in a crate in the apartment when she isn’t home. There is no yard, but there is some green space around her new condo. Natalie confirmed that she would definitely crate train a dog, and agreed that it was the best way to help with potty training and to keep the dog safe. We also discussed that dogs like to be in crates as they are den animals. In her new condo, there were more paths and a bit of greenspace, which she was really excited about. Her new condo is a little bit smaller than the apartment she is in now.Children: NA
Family Environment:
Natalie has a roommate currently who was not home, however in her new place, she will be living alone.Life-Style Compromises:
I specifically asked Natalie about this twice, because she does seem a little bit young. She said that her parents lived nearby and could help her if she needed to leave town, etc. Because she lives with a dog right now, I think she realizes the compromises that must be made.Other Pets: No other pets except for her roommates.
Owner Interaction With Other Pets:
• Describe the relationship all family members seem to have to other pets.
o Natalie seemed to get along really well with her roommate’s dog! She said she walks her often.
• What role will the dog play in applicant’s life?
o I do think the dog would be like a family member!
• Are the other pets treated like family members?
o It appears so, based off of Natalie’s interaction with her roommates’ dog
• How do the other animals behave?
o N/A
• Has applicant ever owned more than one dog or cat at the same time?
o Natalie has never had her own dog.
• Is applicant prepared for the increased work, expense [including vet cost], and commotion?
o As far as increased work, Natalie is starting a new job and she is assisting her parents in renovating a new condo for her. I did discuss the potential of a rescue dog requiring increased attention and additional training. I asked her if that was something that she was prepared for. This led into the discussion of potential vet costs. She said she wasn’t ready to take on a dog that required medical care out of the norm but she did realize that it wasn’t something you could necessarily prepared for.
• How committed is adopter?
o I think Natalie is committed to rescuing a dog but I’m not convinced she is prepared to navigate potential behavior or medical issues. I brought up what she would do if a rescue dog had behavior issues. She didn’t have much to say, which made me think she hadn’t thought through this possibility. This surprised me a little because she mentioned in her phone interview and application that her parents had a lot of rescue experience. It is definitely her parent’s experience, and not hers if that makes sense.
• What are the owner’s responses to behaviors good and bad?
o Natalie was great with her roommate’s dog, they seemed to have a good rapport!
• Do owners demand perfection or have unreasonable expectation regarding behaviors?
o I don’t think Natalie would demand perfection regarding behaviors, but I do wonder if her inexperience would leave her feeling short-handed.
• Do other dogs in the home obey happily?
o N/A
• Are the other dogs out of control and undisciplined?
o N/A
• Do the owners appear to know some basic training techniques?
• How do the animals react to the owner’s response?
o The dog that lived in the house was sweet and seemed to love Natalie! Natalie interacted with the dog really nicely. They played fetch while we were chatting, it was sweet!Important Question to Answer:
• Explain that re-homing a dog is stressful for the dog.
• That often the rescued dog they want to adopt or foster may have training accidents, even if they are housebroken, while they are in their new home or foster care, for the first few weeks.
• Ask the applicant what they would do or how they would react to the new dog having an accident.Natalie seemed to understand that there could be an adjustment period after adoption. She said she would be understanding if accidents were to occur. Her new job would allow her to work from home, so that would be a positive
Additional Information:
• Please describe any additional information about the home environment that you feel is pertinent.
• Is there anything in general or specifically that would cause you to feel uncomfortable about placing a dog or cat in this home?
• If so, what?
• “Gut feelings” are considered important. Would you feel comfortable leaving your own dog with the applicant?
• Explain.
My takeaway from Natalie is that she hasn’t owned a dog before and didn’t seem to have any hands on experience with bigger dogs. I asked several leading questions at different times during our conversation. Natalie’s experience with larger dogs is through her parents and their efforts to assist with Snooty Giggles dog rescue here in Nashville. She said that her parents have fostered a standard poodle before, but this is about as close to any personal experience I could get. No stories about helping with friends bigger dogs or any other hands on experience. In these discussions, I also brought up how she would handle potential behavior issues, and it left me wondering if she had thought about it before.
That being said, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable asking her to walk my Airedales. There is a huge difference between a small poodle and a large excitable terrier!
Conclusion:Approve Applicant
Do not approve applicant
Approve after additional counseling of applicants
and/or
Approve after modifications to the home environmentPlease describe: Natalie was a really nice person, and her interactions with her roommates mini golden doodle were great. My first concern is Natalie’s lack of experience with bigger dogs. I also think that there is a lot of change happening in her life, she is moving and about to start a brand new job. I’m not sure right now is the best time for Natalie to adopt an Airedale.

Additional Suggestions To The Home Evaluator:
• If you need to take notes during the visit, please do so discreetly on a small note pad, rather than on this form. It is preferred to have the applicants feel at ease with you and to be themselves. Complete this form after the visit is over, when you are not in the presence of the applicants.
• Qualities to note are sincerity, commitment, tolerance of normal animal behavior, honest representation of the home environment, children’s behavior with other pets, and expected role of the children in pet care. Obtain explanations about the absence of any family members during the visit. Feel free to ask leading questions to begin productive conversation. Often good conversation will reveal far more than questions.
• Do not make any promises to the applicants or indicate whether or not they will be approved to adopt or foster. Please refrain from discussing any particular animal presently in rescue that may become available for adoption.
________________________________________Hi Kelly,
I definitely understand! I will reach out when I am settled in my new place. I appreciate the time spent moving my application along, and plan to be ready to adopt in about 2 months.
Thank you!

Natalie,
Due to your current situation of an impending move and new job, we at ARG feel that it would at this time be best to defer adoption. Bringing a rescue in is stressful…for the ‘dale and for you and having worked with your folks in rescue in the past, you’re aware that dogs pick up on our emotions. It wouldn’t be fair to either you or the ‘dale to take this on at this juncture. Please feel free to contact us once your life is more settled. Good luck with your new job and enjoy your new home!
Sincerely,
Kelly Imbody, ARGSpoke at length with Carol and felt she would be great…everything would have been perfect for re-homing a ‘dale. Explained rescue process as she got previous ‘dales as puppies. She later called me and stated that she feels that she wants a puppy. Apologized for time/effort put forth for her. I reassured her that ARG understands. Asked if she would be willing to help with HV’s. She thought that she would. Her last ‘dale was just put down not quite a year ago and it was difficult for her. She related that she feels in her heart that she needs to get another puppy.

Kelly Imbody, ARGHOME EVALUATION
Done per Corrie Anderson (summarized here per Kelly Imbody)
Completed mid-June 2020
Corrie called me, wanting to discuss/go over some things related to the home visit for Natalie Rammer.
I could tell that she was somewhat hesitant and felt bad that she couldn’t provide a more positive report, and I assured her that sometimes this happens and that I was also sorry that her 1st home evaluation wasn’t a more positive experience.
She had nothing negative per say regarding Natalie, it was just gut feelings. She related that Natalie has just started a new job. She will be moving to a new condo the end of July and wants to add a rescue to the mix. She stated that she got the impression that Natalie was a bit immature. Corrie related that she asked leading questions regarding all things concerning rescue but that Natalie never really answered them; the wasn’t able to provide concrete answers. She seemed to rely and base everything on the fact that her parents were active in Poodle rescue in the past, as if that should/would make her a “shoe in” for adoption approval.
My $64,000.00 question to Corrie was “would you feel comfortable leaving Harriett and Filbert with her?” Her answer was “no.”
I reassured her that that was the bottom line and that we depend on Airedale savvy folks like her to be our eyes and ears.Hi Kelly,
I am so sorry for the delay in responding but I completed the home visit just as large Bobcats and ditch diggers were beginning a massive project to remove landfill debris from my front yard. I have been too exhausted at the end of each day to email you – but I haven’t (couldn’t!!!) forget about the fine potential rescue home that I visited.
I met Joi and John at their home that is located just inside a beautiful very private residential neighborhood with sidewalks and its own recreational area. Both are experienced pet owners. Joi has had two Airedales as noted on her application and is very familiar with the care required. I found all the information that was filled out on the application form to be consistent with my interview and observations. There were no alarming issues that I would consider preventative for approving their adoption status.
Joi and John are tall, athletic and exercise regularly with long neighborhood walks. Joi is use to having an Airedale accompany her as she rips off her 10k steps a day. Their dogs were always inside or leased outside and never left alone outside. When inside, they had the run of the house that is large and would be comfortable for even an Oorang Airedale. Based on my discussions with both Joi and John, I would have no hesitation leaving Jazzy in their care. They are good people and would make excellent ARG adoption parents.If you need anything else, let me know,

n1dqc@yahoo.comARG Home Visit for Juanita Lewis-Jones completed 6/19/20 per Andrea Howell (rewritten/summarized
per Kelly Imbody as file unable to be copied.)The Lewis-Jones family lives in a town house on an Army base. It is approximately 1200-1400 sq. feet, has a fenced, grassy back yard. The fence is chain link and appears adequate. The home appears clean, lived in…messy but not dirty. There is comfortable, family friendly furniture. A mix of carpet and wood flooring throughout.
They have an 11 y/o male Pomeranian. He was barky at first, but friendly. He obeyed commands, he was not out of control. They appeared to be attentive and had a good, easy going manner with the Pomeranian. Family members were very friendly had good interaction with the dog and each other. There is a large crate in the family room for the Pomeranian. He is not confined. Juanita said a new dog would have its own crate in the same room, but would be used only if necessary.
Juanita understands the increased expense. They have had more than one dog at a time and have had an Airedale in the past. She seems committed and to understand the Airedale personality well, realizing that each has its own distinct personality. She does not seem to have any unreasonable expectations regarding behavior. The issue(s) of rehoming a dog were discussed including possible regression in behavior for a few weeks after rehoming. Juanita said that lapses would be used as a training opportunity and not as punishment or evoking anger.
There was nothing that led Andrea (HV volunteer) to feel uncomfortable about placement. She noted that she would feel comfortable about leaving her dog with these folks and can’t think of any reason not to approve them. She also noted that they seem very particular/careful regarding who takes care of the dogs when they are unable to take them with, but also notes that they usually take them on vacation.
Being in the military, the family has moved a lot. Juanita plans to retire next year.
Conclusion: Approve.Recopied from submission.

The homeowners seemed flexible on where to keep the dog. Specifically asked if they were going to crate train the dog to which they responded “we aren’t opposed to crate training”. The back yard is completely fenced in with a wood panel fence. The fence itself is approximately six feet tall. No trees in the back yard itself but a deck on the rear of the house would offer some shade. The family did state they are considering having a pool installed.

Good afternoon Sydne and Valerie,I’d like to virtually introduce you to each other and thank you both for your love of everything Airedale! Sydne, Valerie will be doing your home visit. She will be contacting you via text/call/email so be on the lookout! You and she will schedule a time that’s convenient for you both. I want to remind you Sydne that we ask that everyone living in the home be present for the home visit if at all possible. Valerie may elect to bring her Airedale with her for the visit as well.
I’m sorry we’ve taken so long to get to this stage, but Covid-19 really put a “hitch in our giddy up”!!! It’s a good thing that we weren’t flush with ‘dales needing homes during the worst of Covid. I’ll be anxiously waiting to hear how the visit went. In the mean time, please get in touch with me if either of you have and questions/concerns.Warmest regards,
