Phone Interview: Nicole Neville
July 11, 2024Nicole lives with her boyfriend in an established neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. The home appears to be a ranch style home. She has lived at this address for about 4 years. She works primarily remotely (she stated about 95% of her work is remote) for Vanderbilt University. Her neighborhood consists of mostly retired folks, so it is quiet she says. There are some sidewalks. Minimal traffic and is about ½ mile from a State Park. Her yard is partially fenced so walks the dogs or puts them on a long lead and takes them out back to do their business.
Nicole relates extensive foster experience in that she currently has 2 dogs… a 3 year old neutered Doodle and a 1 year old neutered Bichon mix which is a “foster fail”.
She has no prior experience with ADTs but states that her Mother had one years ago and has mentioned that she would love to have one again, but d/t diagnosis of cancer cannot handle a big dog. Nicole states that her Mother’s stories of her ADT prompted her to research the breed. She states that she just wants to help out when she can.
She currently is working/active with 3 rescue agencies in the area. Nicole states that she has foster close to 30 dogs over the past 4 years.
All of her family is in the area…parents and siblings. She prefers to take her dogs with her on vacation, but if unable to family will take care of them.
Initially her rental agent texted me that she cannot have more than 2 dogs on the property. I phoned Nicole and told her same, but perhaps we could keep her in mind for transports. She texted me stating that she had spoken with her rental agent and explained that fostering was a temporary situation and that he agreed that providing it was temporary, she could foster. I texted the rental agent back to confirm Nicole’s story, which he did.
In the meantime I had re-contacted her personal references stating that I didn’t need to speak with them after all. During our phone conversation, I asked Nicole to re-connect with her references and have them contact me which she said she would do.
VET: Tobias, the Doodle is up to date on all vaccinations. Was last seen on April 9th, 2024. Is on Simaprica Trio. The Bichon mix foster fail has not been seen by this Vet as Nicole just got him in October 2023. I informed Nicole that ARG would pay for medical, but asked that fosters provide food. She said that she would ask that ARG pay for food, collars etc. in addition to medical.
Have texted Nicole reminding her to contact her references.6/24/2024
During the phone interview I explained to Adam the need to speak with his landlord regarding the permission to have another dog in the rental. He stated that he would have his wife forward me the contact information. I have yet to receive it after sending both a reminder email and text message on June 18th and again on June 21.
I will not pursue this further until/unless I hear from them.Airedale Rescue Group
Phone Interview: Adam Wattenbarger
6/17/2024Adam and Brittany have lived at this address for just over a year. They are renting a townhouse. I explained to Adam that though they currently had a dog at this address that I would need to speak with their landlord re: the feasibility of acquiring an additional dog. He stated that his wife would email that information. The townhouse backs up to a golf course. Per Google Earth the neighborhood is a mix of town homes and single family homes.
They have completed an application with SOAR as they most recently lived in Ft. Wayne, IN where Adam was a football coach for Manchester College. Adam’s hours are a full 12 hour day though he says that he is only 5 minutes away and comes home for lunch. Brittany is a teacher, off in the summers and during school year is gone 6:30-3:30.
They have no family in the area, Adam has a sister in Raleigh.
Olive is a black Lab mix. They got her as a rescue and think that she’s about 5 years old. She does get along with other dogs, but isn’t interested in them much. When they travel, they take Olive with and that is the plan for a 2nd dog as well. Adam states that Olive does get heart worm, flea and tick preventative through their Vet, but isn’t sure exactly what she gets. Olive is fed Purina Complete Adult. Adam and his family (prior to his marriage) are Airedale experienced having had 2 Airedales and a Welshie.
They would prefer a female, age puppy to 2 years.Personal reference: Is God Mother to Adam & has known family for years. Says that she is not familiar with Olive as she is in VA. She states that all of the Airedales were great dogs, very loved, “treated like royalty”. She said that the family loved them so much and treated them like gold. She stated that Adam is a fine young man.
Vet:Spoke with personal reference Tracy. Has known applicant for just over 10 years. Is familiar with Oliver and states he is a great dog. They are great dog people and he’s spoiled. He goes to doggy day care and there have been no issues. She said that they would be great to adopt a dog and Oliver wants a playmate.
VET: Oliver is up to date on all vaccines until July of this year. He gets Simarica Trio as preventative. Tech I spoke with was not personally familiar with Oliver, but stated there were no alerts on his chart.
Have reached out to both personal references…still waiting.

Phone Interview: Nichole Eglian
May 24, 2024Nichole and her husband George live outside Charleston, SC in a subdivision. There are sidewalks, their home is in the rear of the neighborhood and therefore sees little traffic. Backyard is fenced as it appears most of the homes have fenced backyards.
Nichole is a Nurse Practitioner and her husband is an Arborist. Currently she is finishing up her Doctorate and hopes to teach. They have no family in the area…most are in/near Cincinnati, OH.
Their current Airedale, Oliver is 8 years old. They purchased him from a breeder in Ohio at the age of 10 weeks. Nichole said Oliver is part Oorang, weighing in around 80 lbs. give or take. He is very good natured and enjoys sitting in their sunroom just watching everything outside. Oliver loves to go for rides on the golfcart. He routinely attends daycare/camp for socialization.
Nichole and George spend their free time taking walks, going to the beach on occasion and porch time. They would like Oliver to have a friend. They would prefer a female (they hope for one of the puppies being surrendered from Boone, NC. but will take either.
Oliver gets groomed regularly. Nichole loves their Vet. Oliver gets Simparica Trio as preventative. Oliver experienced some skin issues and through process of elimination (with little help from their Ohio Vet) has resolved Oliver’s skin problem.
Nichole will text her references to let them know I’m available this holiday weekend as I didn’t want to bother them. I forwarded Pat’s information that she had on the puppies. Will contact Vet after the Monday holiday.Hi Kelly ,
I visited Karen at her home today. Her husband was there as well. Very nice couple.
They have a good situation with a large lot secured by a 6 ft fence . The back yard area is secured from the front gate entrance so dogs can exit from the back of the house and not be able to access the front gate entrance.
She has three small dogs . All looked well cared for and were crate trained (clearly comfortable in their crates) . They were secured until I entered the home .
Karen seems very experienced with dogs and Terriers specifically.
I think she would be very suited to foster or adopt providing the dog being considered is safe with her small dogs.Let me know if additional questions ,
Cindy
HV completed by Cindy Green
Good morning Karen,
I have found someone to do your home visit. Her name is Cindy Green and she will reach out to you sometime next week as she is out of town for a few days. She lives in Florence, so won’t have a long way to get to you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Warmly,

Phone Interview: Karen Cornell
April 3, 2024Karen is a retired nurse. Her spouse lives part-time in Delaware with a WFT named “Poppy” and comes to Effingham about every couple of months. Karen lives in a rural area, on a dirt road with 7 goats next door. She has a little over .7 acres with a heavily wooded area in back and is fenced both front and back with chain link fencing. She has been at this address for about 1 year.
She spends her free time doing yardwork. She is thinking about doing volunteer work as well. She expressed interest in assisting ARG with fostering, transport, and vetting applicants. She of course wants to adopt.
Karen has had extensive experience with ADTs having had 4 in the past…3 she got as puppies and her last Airedale she adopted at the age of 7. I think she said she went through ATRA as she was in Northern Ohio at the time. Karen also has had a WFT and a mixed breed in the past as well. She currently has a rescue 10 y/o WFT she adopted at age 8 and a mixed breed that was dropped off on her road just this past November. Both get groomed every 6 weeks.
Karen said she will foster anything (no age/sex preference) and is willing to adopt from about age 5 through Hospice care. She has no sex preference.
She is well versed in the rescue experience. Has plenty of time on her hands for rescue and wants to help ARG! I will check with her personal references and vet.
Spoke with Vet whom she has been with since May 2023 due to move. Both WFTs and mixed breed were up to date on rabies upon intake to this Vet. Dogs are “well taken care of” and are current on all vaccines. Take trifexis, bordatella and lepto up to date.Personal referecne Donna initially met as she groomed her dogs but then became friends as well. She knew all 4 of Karen’s Airedales. She babysat for the dogs as well as groomed them. The dogs were always glad to see Karen come home. “Dogs come first with Karen.”
Personal reference Pat has known Karen for over 20 years and knew all 4 of Karen’s Airedales as well. “There is not a better person on the planet for a dog to have as a mama.” Karen loves animals. Her dogs are her world. Her dogs come first.3/27/2024
Home visit for Copeland went well. He has a beautiful piece of property just off the Pamlico River. A small canal is at the entrance to his property. He has a dock on the canal which leads directly to the river. The views are spectacular. He is wooded, with a small barn/large shed in the back yard. Neighbors all have dogs and all look out for one another. His home is a Cape Cod style and is lived in. Hardwood floors, Auzzie’s bed and toys remainded out and my Otis took full advantage of playing with “new” toys. Copeland engaged Otis and didn’t give a 2nd thought to letting him in the house after running all through the yard and woods. I did not see the cat, as Copeland said that he would hide. The cat tolerated Archie and Auzzie. The ‘dale would need to be friendly to people and animals, children included as he takes the dog to the church office with him. Any dog would consider this to be a dream place to call home. No reason not to adopt to Copeland.She responded to my email saying that her daughter contacted us (I was confused by the 2 different names). She said she has a 12 y/o ADT as isn’t ready yet. I told her to reach back out to us if/when she’s ready. Kel

Subject: RE: Airedale Rescue GroupAnne,
We know you’ve an underground fence and we do place ‘dales to applicants that show that they have experience with e fences etc. Your application states that. I am on my 6th Airedale and have used e fencing. Please reconsider. I would love to speak with you and see if we can get you a ‘dale that will be a good fit.
Warmly,

Subject: Re: Airedale Rescue GroupI applied years ago for an Airedale rescue. During the interview process, I told the people that I had an underground electric fence in my yard. Whoever was in charge said that was not acceptable.

Good morning,
I looked over the application you sent me Jackie (Amy Baker) and sent her an email requesting 2 references as she listed her Vet also as a reference which I explained we follow up with Vets as part of our process. Then sent her a text letting her know that I’d sent her an email and that I would follow up with her later this afternoon. Just got a response from her saying that she’s not interested at this time. I’m going to quit trying to figure people out. Kel
