Cell is 207.837.1005.I’m good with texts, calls, and email.
I’ve scheduled the visit for 13 January at 2:00. Everyone will be home
Once complete I will call you, and also send notes, etc.
Susan
Susan and Jenny, please meet each other! Susan will be contacting you to schedule a Home Visit. Please check your texts/voice mails as I let Susan know that you prefer texts/phone calls vs email. As a reminder, ARG would like everyone living in the home present at the time of the visit. Susan may opt to bring her ‘dale with her for the visit.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions/concerns. I’ll be anxious to hear how it went!
Warmly,
Kelly

Susan,
Yes, no worries and thank you so much!!!
I have attached for you their application, my notes from the phone interview and the blank Home Evaluation form. The Home Eval. Form just provides you with a guideline as not everything on it is applicable to all situations. I have yet to talk with the 2nd personal reference & their Vet. When I do I will forward those notes to you as well.
I will introduce you to the family via a shared email. Then…the ball is in your court. Schedule the HV when it’s convenient for everyone…I know Jenny said weekends would be better as her husband sometimes travels for work. We ask that everyone living in the home be present when you do your visit. I will remind them of this in the shared email. Feel free to take your ‘dale with you. Sometimes that provides valuable insight as to how the folks interact with the dog. The $64,000.00 question you want to be able to answer with a “yes” is: Would you feel comfortable leaving your ‘dale with these folks?
After you’ve completed the Home Visit you can give me a call & let me know what you think, you can send me the Home Eval. Form with any notes you made or you can just send me a plain old email!! Whatever works easiest for you.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/concerns. Look for the shared introductory email to follow shortly. And again, many thanks!Here is their contact information: Jenny said text or phone call is best way to reach her.

kevnkell@hotmail.comYAY!!!!
Thank you Amanda!!!
I have attached Karl’s application, my phone interview notes and a blank Home Visit Evaluation form (use this as a guide if you’d like as some items are not applicable in all situations). As per usual, I’ll introduce you both to each other via a shared email. Then you can make arrangements for a time that’s convenient for you both. Once you’ve completed the visit, you can call me and tell me what you think or you can email me your thoughts. Whatever is easier for you. Please reach out to me with any questions/concerns and I can’t wait to hear from you after the visit! Introductory email will shortly follow this one. Applicant contact info below.
Again, many thanks Amanda!Karl Hrenko

Good morning Amanda and Happy New Year!
Airedale Rescue Group is starting off 2024 with a bang! I have a family in Lilburn, GA that is in need of a home visit. Would you be able to help us out? He is retired so it would be a bit easier to schedule perhaps than if you had to work around many work schedules.
As you know, ARG relies on our network of Airedale lovers to help us place our ‘dales. Please let me know if you are able to help us. I anxiously await your reply and thank you in advance for your consideration.Warmest regards,

Holley08@icloud.com
cooks2013@icloud.comGood morning again and my thanks for helping ARG with this!
Please find attached the application for this family, my phone interview notes and a blank home evaluation form. Regarding the evaluation form…use it as a guide as not everything on it is applicable to every situation.
I will send you and the Cook family a shared email “introducing” you to each other. I will remind them that ARG would like everyone living in the home to be present at the time of the Home Visit. I will also tell them that you may opt to bring Luke with you…that’s your call. When you contact them, set up a time that is convenient for you. Once you’ve completed the Home Visit you may call me or email me with your thoughts. The bottom line question ARG wants to be able to answer with a resounding YES! Is: Would you feel comfortable leaving your Luke with these folks?
If I remember correctly, they were going to be out of town through today.
As I said, if you have any questions and/or concerns Shelia, please reach out to me. I thank you for your help and anxiously await hearing how everything went!
Introductory shared email to follow shortly.
Warmest regards,

Mebane, NC 27302Airedale Rescue Group
Phone Interview: Holley Cook
December 16, 2023Holley and Mitch Cook currently have a 4 y/o female, spayed ADT named Evie. They got Evie as a puppy at about the age of 11 weeks from a friend in Aiken, SC that had 2 Airedales that she bred a couple of times. This friend is not a breeder.
Holley describes Evie as “great. She’s smart, loves to play and hike with us. She’s not much of a cuddler but likes her belly rubs. She’s good with kids and other dogs.” She’s a big ‘dale for a female…about 80 lbs.
The Cooks live in Mebane, NC having moved from Aiken. They have no family in the area…most of their family is in Aiken. Their neighborhood is a new neighborhood with sidewalks. There is a dog park and pool planned for the neighborhood, but neither exist as yet.
Evie gets Heartgard for heart worm prevention and Nexgard for flea/tick prevention.
Holley works from home 2 days a week and goes into the office the other 3 days which is about a 30 minute drive. Mitch works out of the home but comes home daily for lunch…his office is 5 minutes away.
The Cook’s have 2 children. An 11 y/o daughter and a 9 y/o son. Both love Evie.
They have no preference regarding a male or female and really no age preference but it should be noted that this is an active family and they take Evie to the mountains hiking etc. That being said, they also need a ‘dale that is good with kids.
Holley expressed interest in volunteering with ARG. She would consider transports, interviewing applicants realizing that work may put some limitations on this.Personal reference(s): Allison has known applicant for about 3 years. She is familiar with Evie and describes her as “super sweet and incredibly loving. Has manners unlike my wild Basset Hound. Their kids as well as mine adore her. She is a princess and so sweet! Evie listens to her parents incredibly well. She has been to our farm and obeyed perfectly…unlike our Basset. Evie is clearly part of their family and incredibly loved. She greets my whole family at the door and is wonderful to be around. Holley and Mitch are wonderful parents to Evie and any pup would be lucky to be in their family.”
Karen has known the family for about 12 years…they got Evie from Karen. Karen is no longer breeding…she just bred her pair a couple of times and then they were spayed & neutered. Karen and Holley used to work together in Aiken, SC. Karen describes Evie as “rotten”. “She is a great dog. Holley and Mitch are good with training. Evie is loyal and respects her boundaries and rules. Holley and Mitch are committed to training. Holley runs a tight ship. The kids are well rounded. They are a great family.”
VET: Up to date on all vaccines. Are regular with exams. Heartgard for heart worm. No flea/tick preventative on record. Message left for Holley re: same. No red flags on chart.*Applicant just texted that she treats for fleas/ticks with Nexgard.
Kel-
They put Jack Odin on as a reference. He organizes the Airedale meet ups in Charlotte and the Charlotte Airedale Club. If he gives them a head nod o approval, the I would be good.
Chance’s people are not in a hurry.
Hope all is well with you. I am just back from the terrier walk in FL. Almost $900 was raised for ARG! I am dragging- so tired!!

Pat,
I’ll forward this to the Gard’s in Kannapolis. I know Keith Lehr had agreed to do their HV but I believe there were some minor scheduling issues. I know that the Gard’s were going to an Airedale meet up in Charlotte, so by all rights they have probably met before. Not sure that HV has happened but will inquire.
