Subject: Re: Airedale Rescue Group Home VisitGood morning Kelly,
I did not call you yesterday becsuse i worked late. I got home 8 pm Georgia time( i work in Alabama ). It was my birthday and i was inundated with calls all the way huh ome from my family
( thank God for Bluetooth tech!)Is there a problem with Virg? She told me to let her know when we are really finally ready. I know she has been busy working their lakes. I realize this may take months to get a dog.
I just want to tell you it’s not a matter of committing to the adoption process, but when stay at home was put in place and everything was put ” on hold ” we started a lot of remodeling that we were waiting for until Brooks’s retirement. My weekends have been very busy and our house is a construction zone, lol. I did not want to bring in an Airedale into wet paint, loud hammering, sawing etc. Again, this all came about differently then we had planned. We have almost completed a huge pantry, going to knock down 2 walls and make the master suite larger with new walkin closet and larger bathroom. Also, new floor to go in throughout front of house and hall so you can see why we are a bit overwhelmed. We are doing this all ourselves, no professional help. The weekends are the only time I can help except I have painted a lot in the evening. That is why I put our visit off, until the ‘Dale who finally adopts us comes into the nicest home we can give them. A calmer, less calamitous place unless its of their own making, lol. We have a lot of love to give some Airedale out there.
I appreciate your help and concern. I will speak to my husband today. We have a family graduation party tomorrow for our granddaughter from 3-8.
Truly, Sincerely
Wendy and BrooksSorry for the disjointed thought process of mine. To answer your question re: Virgilynn…I’ve made multiple attempts to contact her and have heard nothing. I last heard from her on May 9 asking if she could schedule your visit and I gave her the go ahead as long as you both were comfortable and felt safe. That’s why we located someone else. I will wait to hear from you once you talk to Brooks.
KellyWill do. I am home today. I am on duty at the fire station tomorrow and then I am off Sunday and Monday.

219-628-0071Good morning Valerie,
My name is Kelly Imbody and I’m a volunteer with Airedale Rescue Group working closely with Jackie Cash, Barbara Yager, Pat Hairston and Christina Prange. Jackie suggested that I contact you in the hopes that you would be willing to do a home visit for us there in Charleston. Our volunteers make up the nucleus of ARG and we couldn’t place Airedales in their forever homes were it not for folks willing to help us out. As you know ARG covers the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee so we depend on our adopters and lovers of Airedales to complete our mission!!!! Please let me know if this is something you’d consider doing for us. Also, please feel free to call/text/email me with any questions or concerns you may have. I anxiously await hearing from you!!
Warmly,
Kelly Imbody, ARG

Valerie Perry perryvk@yahoo.com 843-577-0977Good morning Amy & James,
Kelly Imbody from Airedale Rescue Group…(again!) We have some folks in Auburn, GA that are anxiously awaiting a home visit. I had contacted someone else in the area to see if they would be willing to help as I don’t want to “use you up”, but I’ve not heard back from them. Would you be willing to help ARG again? We’re trying to catch folks up as everything has been on hold because of Covid-19. Certainly we want you to feel safe and comfortable. Please let me know if you’re able to help. I anxiously await hearing from you.
Warmly,
Kelly Imbody, ARG

Amy & James LangeGood morning Wendy and Patty,
I’d like to introduce you both! Wendy, Patty will be contacting you to schedule your home visit so be looking for an email/text/call from her. We ask that both you and Brooks be present for the home visit and I also want to let you know that Patty may or may not bring an Airedale with her when she comes. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns either of you may have. I’ll be anxious to hear how it went! Thank you both for your love, understanding and embracing of all things Airedale!!!!!!
Warmly,

219-628-0071Good morning Patty,
Thank you for responding so quickly to Jackie regarding a home visit for some folks in your area. I’ve been with ARG for maybe a year now and the network of Airedale lovers is quite extensive and heartwarming! I had mad arrangements with another volunteer to do the home visit before the Covid-19 stuff started, but haven’t been able to get in touch with her and we’d really like to get these folks approved, so again, thank you for your willingness to help. You’ll be calling on:

109 Sunset Lane
Bremen, GA 30110Please find attached the ARG application, my notes from my phone interview with her along with personal reference & vet notations, and the Home Visit Evaluation form. This will give you some insight into what these folks are looking for, home situation etc. Use the Home Visit Evaluation form as a guide when you do your visit, but it’s best not to write on it while you’re there as that can sometimes intimidate or make folks uncomfortable…it’s there so that you can do a thorough home visit.
I will shortly send both you and Wendy an email introducing you both. You can then contact her to schedule the home visit when it’s convenient for the both of you. We ask that everyone living in the home be present for the home visit and I’ll state this in my shared email, but you may want to confirm that when you schedule your visit. We also encourage you to take your Airedale with you if you’re comfortable doing so. This sometimes gives you a feeling as to how folks interact with the ‘dale etc.
Once you’ve completed the home visit, just write up your notes and send them to me in a Word document (we sometimes have difficulty posting other types of files to our site).
I believe Jackie may have a ‘dale in mind for these folks, but not sure. Wendy mentioned the need for a fence and a plan to put one up, so you’ll want to follow up on that with her.
Please, if you’ve any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to text, call or email me!
My most sincere gratitude,
Kelly Imbody, ARG

Subject: Airedale Rescue GroupHi Tanya!
Just checking in now that things are approaching “normal.” I’ll get started on your home visit if you are still interested in adopting an Airedale through ARG or if your circumstances have changed…let me know either way. Thanks Tanya!
Kelly Imbody, ARGGood morning Andrea,
My name is Kelly Imbody and I’m a volunteer with Airedale Rescue Group. I’m emailing you in the hopes that you would be willing to help ARG with a home visit. Now that things are opening up a bit what with all this Covid-19 business, we have a lot of folks needing home visits! Certainly we want you to feel safe and comfortable. You would schedule at your convenience. The family needing a home visit is in Ft. Stewart, GA. I know this may be a bit of a drive, but I’ve searched high and low for someone closer but…you’re my “Plan A”! ARG depends on our network of volunteers, be they previous adopters, transporters or foster folks…what we all have in common in our love for all things Airedale! Please let me know if this is something that you’d be willing to help us with and we’ll proceed from there. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to text, call or email me. I anxiously await your reply.
Most sincerely,
Kelly Imbody, ARG

912-961-9034/912-313-8926Good morning Kristina,
My name is Kelly Imbody and I’m a volunteer with Airedale Rescue Group. Knowing that you must love Airedales as much as we in ARG do, I’m emailing you to ask a favor of you. We have a family in Auburn, GA that is wanting to adopt an Airedale from us. We need a home visit completed in order to finalize approval. I’m hoping you’d be willing to help us with this. ARG has a lot of folks waiting for home visits…everything has been put on hold due to Covid-19. We’re thinking that now that things are opening up a bit that we should attempt to resume our normal operations. I realize that Auburn, GA is about a 45 minute drive, but you’re my “Plan A” and I don’t have a “Plan B.” We rely on our network of volunteers and folks that have adopted from ARG in the past. Please let me know if this is something you think you’d do for us. It would of course be scheduled by you, at your convenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to text, call or email me. I anxiously await your reply.
Most sincerely,
