Applicant(s): Frank & Jess Huber
Interview Date: 7/6/2025
Status: Move to HV

Notes: The Hubers currently have two ADTs, Luna and Sadie, and Frank has had others in the past. Frank’s first ADT had been a stray that ended up on his family farm. They have had other dogs, most from the shelter, with one, a lab-mix, “Moose,” living to almost 20. They love how quirky the Airedale breed is.

The family grows lots of their veggies, which they also feed to the dogs. They also give them pumpkin, sweet potato, green beans, etc. They had a Bichon that lived to 17 before it passed. When Moose passed, they waited a year for when they were ready to bring another dog into the family. They reached out to an Airedale breeder in Guntersville, AL; Luna had been picked and a deposit paid but the person/family never picked her up so they were able to bring her home. Luna was very quiet and shy, and the ceiling fan scared her, so they decided to get another ADT. Sadie was given up by her original owner as she was ‘too much’ for them.

The dogs love the truck and go with them to Cash’s ball games, and love going to the beach with them; I confirmed they ride inside the cab. The Hubers consider the dogs part of the family and won’t leave them behind.

On a typical day, Sadie gets up first and she and Frank go outside into the smaller of the two runs they have. When Luna gets up later, they go back out into the larger yard area. The dogs have free reign of the house

The Hubers are interested in fostering, possibly adopting, and per Frank, they “just want to help.” They can help with transport, evenings during the week; weekends are harder for them because their son Cash plays baseball and often has games on the weekend but Frank did add that if there was a real need, Jessica could take Cash to his game and he could help with transport or other tasks. Frank told me that if it means finding a new home for an Airedale, they will be happy to drive. They do have crates that could be used for transport.
Their 19 YO daughter, Harley, has plans to be a vet and is currently in a pre-vet program at UT. When younger she showed farm animals.
The Hubers have a neighbor across the street, Rochelle, who has two poodles and who they can count on to help out if they find themselves running late. The dogs have been trained to ring a bell if they need to go out.

Vet Report: Luna and Sadie are both up to date on vaccines and receive Simparica Trio for flea/tick/HW. They also treat their lawn for fleas/ticks with granules they spread.

References:
Sean Floyd: Hey Mary!!! Frank and Jess love Luna and Sadie just like their own children lol! They are amazing people and very great dog owners. I would definitely recommend them as a foster or owner.
Their love and temperament are perfect for animals and they have the property to match. I couldn’t think of two other people that are more suitable and qualified than them. I hope this helps you in your decision.
Sean

Larry and Jamie Winett: “We have been friends of Jess and Chip Huber the last 25 years and would recommend them as foster dogs parents. They bring their Airedales to our house, the dogs are well cared for and people friendly.” The Winetts also provided a photo of their two very sweet looking labs, one blonde, the other black.

Dog Requested: NA. The Hubers aren’t necessarily looking to adopt; they just want to do what they can to help this breed they love. They could foster, help with transport, etc., although if the situation is right, they might be interested in adopting.

Applicant(s): David Beckett
Interview Date: July 6, 2025
Status: HV to be handled via video due to need to have Chief moved into foster ASAP.

Notes: David’s lot is large, about 4 acres, and, from Google Earth, looks quite wooded. It is not fenced; when I asked him about that, he told me that is landlord has offered to have it fenced in but David feels that could create a false sense of safety for a dog since coyotes can easily jump up to a 6’ fence but dogs won’t. (Confirming what he said in his app.) As a result, David would not let his previous dog, Kodi, outside unless he was on a long leash, with David on the other end. David took Kodi to The Barkery, part of City Walk Birmingham. There is a $95 annual fee, $20 for a day pass, with vaccinations required, and other safety measures. The city maintains it as part of a long stretch of city property. It is located under a network of highways so there is lots of shade and they have both small and large dog areas.

David’s great aunt and uncle were well known Airedale breeders starting in the 40’s or so, and were well known to Linda McVey of SOAR. Apparently, it was his great-aunt Irene who moved the breed into the more squared off “brick” head shape that we see in Airedales today. She bred ADTs up until her early-mid 80’s. Many of his previous dogs were retired show dogs and/or retired breeding mothers. Linda McVey was responsible for David receiving his last Airedale, Kodi, who was 7 months when he came to David. Kodi required special food and when Covid hit, David moved to Western North Carolina, requiring him to drive two hours to get Kodi’s special food.

David was Kodi’s second owner. Kodi has never been on a lead and had been returned to his backyard breeder. David noted the breeder’s kennels were awful. When he lived in Sarasota, Fl, David would walk Kodi at 4 a.m. to avoid the heat of the summer weather.

David is, in general, very personable and clearly loves ADTs. We talked for quite a bit, sharing different Airedale stories. Interestingly, he went to school at UPenn (so he’s definitely smart) and also is familiar with Bryn Mawr, where I came from. When I mentioned Annecy, he immediately asked if her name had anything to do with the lake – she was named for the medieval town on Lac d’Annecy.

Vet Report: The vet’s office confirmed that David’s previous Airedale, Kodi, received his annual vaccines, as well as flea/tick/HW preventative (Simparica Trio). David had Kodi on a wellness plan/insurance through the vet.

References:
Brad Rounsaville: “100% You guys are lucky to have David wanting to adopt. He’s owned Airedales for a long time. Kodi was well-loved and cared for. Passed away from organ failure several months ago. Amazing dog.”

Let me know if you need anything else.”

Linda McVey: “I recommend him 100%. He’s very adt experienced .. his grandparents were ADT Showbreeders”

Bo Martin – Landlord: I spoke with Bo on the phone and she raved about David as a dog owner and also confirmed that he can have a dog on the premises.

Dog Requested:
David is very flexible with sex/age. I spoke with him about Chief, the young boy who has recently come into foster care with us. Because we are looking to place Chief ASAP, I spoke with Pat and Christina about forgoing the in-person HV and having David send up video showing both inside and outside his home, and noting anything that might be an issue, and how he handles that (e.g., the lack of fencing). I spoke with David about Chief and he’s very excited about the possibility. He is okay with the foster to adopt situation until Chief has had all his vaxx, is neutered, etc.

I will upload the home video as soon as I receive it. He’s very excited about this and is chomping at the bit so I told him to go ahead and send the video we need and that Pat would likely send the foster-to-adopt agreement directly.

[Mary McEneaney]

ON HOLD:
I was scheduled to speak with both Aimee and Jason on Sunday afternoon but received an email from Aimee Sunday morning. They have also been looking at another rescue and are considering adopting two dogs from there so would like to put their application on hold. I told them I would and that should they decide to move forward, to just let me know.

 

[Mary McEneaney]

Freeberns are holding off until after their July trip. Per Karen Sheehan, who will be doing HV:

I have made contact with Karen by email. They want to wait until after their trip in July
maybe sometime in August. I will let you know when she contacts me to let you know when the meeting will take place. I did tell her we are on vacation in August from the 10th through the 17th

[Mary McEneaney]

Applicant(s): Karen and Jim Freebern
Interview Date: June 14, 2025
Status: Move to Home Visit – recommendation to HV volunteer to consider the Freebern’s health and physical abilities in regards to their ages and ability to care for an Airedale, which is best done in person.

Notes:
It was very clear that both Karen and Jim absolutely adored their dogs, including their most recently deceased (and second) ADT, Chance (85 Lbs).

The Freeberns were in their mid-70s when they first brought Chance home as a puppy. Chance’s death at 8.5 YO was very unexpected. He was fine when they went for a walk but upon their return he just lay down, clearly feeling poorly. It turned out it was a cancerous tumor on his spleen that was also compromising his heart. They also lost their first ADT to cancer of the jaw at just 14 months. The dogs came from the same breeder, PJ Kennels in Ohio, which breeds both ADTs and Giant Schnauzers.

Karen cooks their dog’s food providing chicken, sweet potatoes and other healthy meats and veggies.

Because the Freebern’s neighborhood is tight-knit and homes are very close to each other, should the Freeberns need assistance with lifting their dog, there would be other younger adults as well as older, teen-aged children. This is a huge benefit given their age. They do realize they are too old physically and emotionally for a puppy and they do understand the value of providing an older dog with a home but they are so heartbroken about losing Chance, they just can’t bear to lose another dog the few short years they might should they adopt a senior dog. They have had many other dogs over the course of their many years (always one at a time), all of which lived good lives between 9 and 12 years.

They are strong believers in training and regularly went to training classes with Chance and their other dogs.

I did ask about their plans for the dog should something happen to both of them and they told me that their daughter in Rochester NY would provide the dog with a loving home. Although currently without a dog, she has had dogs in the past. They also have a son and Karen’s sister lives in their same neighborhood; she has a dog as well, currently an Aussie.

The Freeberns don’t like to leave their dogs and haven’t taken a vacation in 8 years. They walk regularly – confirmed by their references. Looking at Google Earth, there are lots of paved paths for walking in their area and they live in a golf course neighborhood. In addition to walking a lot, the Freeberns also exercise at home. Karen especially did not sound as if she is in her 80s. Karen regularly volunteers at the local shelter walking a variety of different dogs.
The Freeberns are going to a wedding in July so feel it would be best to wait to take a dog until after returning so they don’t leave a newly rehomed dog in a new, strange home without time to assimilate. However, they know that should the right dog come up, we discussed options such as waiting to take possiession of the dog until their return

Vet Report: Dr. Lauren Gallagher:
“Karen let me know you would be reaching out. We were so sad for them and their loss of Chance. Chance was well know and loved by all of his neighbors. He was up to date on his DHPP and rabies vaccines. They discontinued his Bordetella just last year because he wasn’t ever boarded or around other dogs. He got ProHeart 12 for heartworm prevention and was on Bravecto year round. They are lovely owners and clients and were very happy for them to be considering adopting a new baby! They’ve also had many Airedales and we have full confidence they would do whatever it took to have a well trained dog and that they could handle one.”

Sylvia Knapp:
Hi Mary: simply put you’ll find no one better as pet parents than Karen and Jim Freebern.
We’ve been neighbors for the past couple of years and just fell in love with their Airedale, chance. Chance was incredibly well behaved, friendly, and happy. He was well trained, and our entire neighborhood loved that dog.

Obviously it was because of how he was raised. He was always part of their family. He had his own pet seat in their living room so when they were simply relaxing or watching TV he was always part of the activity.
Karen and Jim made sure he had plenty of exercise either playing in the backyard or taking long walks. They’ve had quite a bit of experience raising their Airedale, and he had learned to obey and behave along with being just happy and contented.

We all live in an incredibly pet friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking trails and play dates.
My husband and I highly recommend Karen and Jim as pet parents.
We’re happy to answer any other questions you might have.
Gary & Sylvia Knapp

Donna Fish:
Hello Mary,
It is so nice to hear from you, I’ve been expecting your call/message.

Karen and Jim Freebern are the most wonderful friends and neighbors one could ask for. They tragically was their loving and wonderful Airedale, Chance, several months ago. This was a tremendous loss to them both as well as their friends and neighbors who were all heartbroken over his untimely passing.

My husband Peter and I are so happy that a Karen and Jim have finally reach the point where they can once again consider a new puppy.

Here are our answers to your questions……..

Karen and Jim took their dog Chance on a long walk at least 4 times a day, meeting other dogs along the way and sharing ”doggy stories”.

They both were loving owners, it was like Chance was one of their children who was well trained and loved as if another one of their children.

Even though Chance was a rather large dog, and while sometimes having a mind of his I wan and pulling at times to chase a squirrel, Karen and Jim always had him under control with trained words and commands. Even if he was off the leash, he responded immediately to their commands.

As much as my husband would love a puppy/dog, we do not but if we had one and needed to leave him with some, Karen and Jim would be the first we asked.

They were both heartbroken over the loss of Chance and will make excellent parents of a new puppy, even and a strong willed Airedale!

Thank you for the opportunity for us to be a personal reference for Karen and Jim Freeburn.

Donna Fish

Dog Requested:
Karen and Jim prefer a male no younger than 2 YO as they do not want to deal with the puppy phase. They prefer a dog no older than 4-5 YO.
There are many children and lots of other dogs in their neighborhood, which is pretty close knit; the houses are also quite close together so the dog would need to get along with both children and other dogs. When dogs are not in their own homes/neighbors’ fenced yards, they are leashed. They often have friends over with their dogs.
The Freebern’s have always had large dogs; they like the large dog personality. They do have an e-fence so need to have a dog who is not a known runner. Karen particularly has a young sounding voice and they both exercise a fair bit; that, combined with the vet being a mobile vet, and close relationships with immediate neighbors, can help should they ever be in an emergency situation where the dog will need to be lifted.

[Mary McEneaney]

Adoption on hold per below. I’ve let Lauren and Charlie know should they decided to adopt or even foster in the future to just let us know and we’d continue on with the process.

Annecy and Mary Anne,
Thank you both for getting back to us. Unfortunately, your email reached us a day late. On Wednesday, we adopted a pup from the local humane society, much sooner than we had anticipated. A Facebook post announcing that the local humane society was full and overflowing was a call to action, and that’s when we found a leggy, wire-haired fellow in need. Writing this email is bittersweet as it closes the door to this opportunity for now but we are still very much interested in an Airedale at a later time. We are grateful to know there is an organization and volunteers like you who pour into this overwhelming need.

Sincerely,
Lauren and Charlie Pendry

[Mary McEneaney]

Applicant(s): Lauren & Charlie Pendry
Interview Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025
Status: Move to HV

Notes:
Charlie is in the military, currently working regular day hours; Lauren works from home so is not often gone for very long – perhaps 2-3 hours. He is 43 and she is 40. They have no children, but Lauren said there is “possibly” a chance for children. There is one young child in the family, located in L.A and they do socialize in the neighborhood with families that have children.

The Pendry’s are both in good health. Charlie is a cyclist and they walk a lot. Their previous dog, Nigel, a schnauzer mix, would get about a 4 mile walk in the a.m. and then would usually go to the neighborhood dog park, with a possibly 2-4 mile walk after the park with Lauren and Charlie. Nigel was “his own animal” and they really liked that independence, without the neediness. Nigel passed on 3/25/25 at 15 YO.

Charlie previously had a terrier mix, from puppyhood until the dog’s death at 9 due to a tumor. He still had the dog when he and Lauren started dating and she said they were ‘thick as thieves.’ Lauren grew up with two beagles who both lived to about 14 YO. They also had a pygmy hedgehog, a ‘starter’ pet they got when they were living in an apartment; Hamlett lived to be 5 YO.

The Pendry’s have long been familiar with and have been interested in the Airedale breed, although this is the first one they will have.
They understand and are comfortable with the costs of good care and feeding of a dog and also understand that it can take time for a dog to adapt to a new home. Lauren noted to expect a dog to be fully acclimated to a new home in about 3 months but that it could possibly even take up to a year for some dogs.

I forgot about the time difference between Atlanta and Montgomery so I mistakenly called Lauren an hour early. She was completely unperturbed by that; I offered to call her back but she suggested we go ahead and talk, which we did.

Vet Report: Nigel was kept up to date with all vaccines, as well as flea/tick and Heartworm. He was given Interceptor and then Bravecto. He also got regular bloodwork and good care.

References: I have never received such enthusiastic references! Both Meredith and Peter sent me multiple additional comments.

Meredith Pumphrey:
“Lauren and Charlie are two of the most steadfast people I know. They’re reliable, honest, responsible, kind, intelligent, welcoming, generous, open hearted, and dedicated to everything they do.
I lived next door to them for 5ish years and our dogs were best buddies. They often cared for my dog when I was stuck at work or traveling-I’d trust no one more than them to take care of my treasured pup. They have loved my dog as their own since the day I brought him home! When he was a puppy, he’d jump the fence and go wait by their door for them to notice him and give him pets.
Lauren and Charlie are both very active and have taken their dogs and others for lots of exercise. We used to do walks with several neighbors-Wolfpack walks- where we’d depart at the same time and walk the neighborhood in a pack of several humans and their dogs. It was common to see Lauren and Charlie out walking Nigel no matter the weather. They were very diligent about making sure their dog got his exercise even when he was feeling lazy and not wanting to go.
Their dogs are absolutely part of the family. Nigel slept with them for his whole life. He had his own doggy car seat for road trips so he was always with them. Their parents took turns keeping Nigel if they were going on an extended trip. He was absolutely part of the family. And they welcomed the neighborhood mutts into the family as well. Truly. They are the best and if I had to look for a home for a pet, it would be with these two, hands down.

Peter Fleming:
“Oh that’s awesome.
Lauren and Charlie are great. They’re my old neighbors. They’re awesome folks.

They’re very physically active so the dog would get plenty of exercise. We used to go on neighborhood walks together with our dogs (aka the “Wolfpack” lol). They had a pretty sassy ornery rescue dog named Nigel and I had a very sweet passive golden named sweet pea. They used to take care of sweet pea all the time when I was gone or busy with work. She’d run to their front door and always want to go into their house (especially for Lauren).

Their dog Nigel required a lot of exercise and discipline. Sweet pea was just a super easy dog. They put a lot of work into Nigel. They’re excellent dog owners. I’d gladly entrust my current dog in their care.
My current golden jellybean is very physically active and they’d be on the shortlist to take care of her if something happened to me and they were still my neighbors.”

Dog Requested:
Lauren would very much like a dog that is a snuggler. She wants a ‘constant companion’ who enjoys being with them but not in a clingy/needy way. They don’t have a preference for male or female. When I asked about age, she told me they like the idea of a younger dog because they know how attached they get to their animals but Lauren also noted how rewarding it would be to take on an older dog and give him/her a loving home to finish out his/her life.

If we can provide her a snuggler ‘dale, I think that would be most important to Lauren and Charlie, rather than age.

Although there are currently no children in the home, there is a possibility, and there is a child in the extended family, as well as children in the neighborhood so the Pendry’s do need a dog that is child friendly. Additionally, they like to take their dogs with them whenever possible so they should have a dog-friendly Airedale.

Lauren is on the small side, 100 lbs., so she thinks a somewhat smaller dog would be best but she said up to about 60 lbs. would be fine. We’re about the same size so I think she would be fine with a larger dog if the dog was trained, especially when it came to leash walking.

Scan of HV Evaluation Form uploaded into Topic

[Mary McEneaney]

Regina Cullen has given the Tutuskas final approval as adopters. She is snail-mailing the HV Evaluation form to me and once I receive it, I will scan and upload.

[Mary McEneaney]

Applicant(s): Tracy & Patrick O’Dowd
Interview Date: March 13, 2025
Status: Move to Home Visit

Notes:
It took a bit of time to schedule a call with Tracy because she and Patrick were on a cruise but I had a good conversation with Tracy when we did connect.

The O’Dowds’ interest in Airedales stems from Patrick, whose family had many as he was growing up. They rescued Nash, at 1 YO, from his original breeder two years ago. At the time, Nash had not been socialized, trained, or even walked. Patrick is the primary trainer in their family and Nash now had good manners and gets daily walks. They really like that Airedales are such great family dogs. Prior to Nash, as a family, the O’Dowds had two other Airedales, both of which passed from natural causes (Conquer at 10 and Murphy at 14). They also had a Rottweiller, which passed at 9 of natural causes.

Both O’Dowds work from home so Nash has access to the yard pretty much all day, as needed.

Vet Report: Spoke with Kate who told me Nash is kept up to date on all vaccines and is given monthly Heartguard treatment, as well as Frontline Flea/Tick. When I asked if Nash looked healthy and happy, Kate told me that he looks good and is “an excellent specimen of the breed.”

References:
Val Pistone: They are a wonderful family. We have lived across the street from them for about 16 years. Their dogs are absolutely part of the family. Every day they are out and about, part of every celebration.

We do trust our dogs, and cat to their care when we travel or are away for the day. They treat them like family as well.

I can not imagine a better family for any dog. They truly are a wonderful family. I could not give them a higher recommendation.

Lisa Gehrin: Not received a reply yet; will add to notes when I get it.

Dog Requested:
The O’Dowds don’t have a preference for either male or female but they do require a dog that gets along with other dogs because they not only have their current 3YO Airedale, Nash, but they have visiting dogs as well. They also need a dog that is good with children since there are many kids in their neighborhood

[Mary McEneaney]

I reached out to Angel, apologizing for her application slipping through the cracks and asked about setting up a time to chat to move forward. Unfortunately, her circumstances have changed and at this time she feels it would not be right to adopt a dog for which she could not devote the needed time.

Email conversation below:

Angel, I’m sorry to hear that you are dealing with challenges and changes in your life. Just let us know when you’re ready and we will definitely get the ball rolling.

Take care,

Mary

Hi Mary.
I am honored to receive your email. As much as I would love to adopt, sadly I’m not able to at this time. There have been some significant changes that have happened in my life during the past couple of months. And bc of that I can’t give the 110% that a precious Airedale deserves. I hope and pray I can reapply when the time comes that I can be at my best. I’m so sorry.
Thank you,
Angel

Good afternoon, Angel,

Apologies for the extreme tardiness of this email.

Are you still interested in adopting an Airedale? If so, I’d like to schedule a 20-30 minute call with you to follow up on the application.

I’m open most of this Saturday, 3/15, and am generally free most weekday afternoons, if that’s a time frame that would work for you. Saturday, 3/22, is out but Sunday after 1:00 I’m wide open.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and hopefully chatting.

Gregg, I received word from Pat Hairson with ARG that you are interested in the Airedale found in Greer, SC if the owner is not found. If so, do you have availability to chat today or this weekend? I’m open the rest of today, all day tomorrow and Sunday afternoon,

[Mary McEneaney]

Email sent to both Tracy and Patrick on February 14 to schedule a call to discuss their application. I did not hear back so at 5:02 on February 24, I emailed them again. I will give them a few days to reply before noting them as a decline to pursue.

[Mary McEneaney]

Final references:

Eddie & Valerie Burgard: We think Kimberly and Ben will be fantastic dog owners! Ben was the first person who stayed with our dog Paul Bunyan the first time we went out of town after getting him. He did such an awesome job and we knew we could trust that Paul Bunyan was in great hands.

The two of them are incredible responsible, dedicated, and disciplined. They will create a safe and loving home for their pup and we know they will do whatever they can to help that pup thrive in their home and life!

Please let us know if you have any more questions as you evaluate their readiness to welcome a sweet puppy into their family!

Kaitlin McKeown: Kimberly and Ben are exceptional people — I would wholeheartedly entrust them with the care of my dog or any animal. They are extraordinarily kind, attentive, and loving, the kind of people who would go leaps and bounds to help anyone who needed assistance. I count them both as dear friends, but Kimberly is also a colleague. From the day that I began working with the team, I can attest that Kimberly fills any room to the brim with pure sunshine. I’m certain that the qualities that make her such a great teammate would allow her to be an amazing dog owner — she leads with empathy, is impeccably organized, is a thoughtful and gracious listener, and infuses any interaction with genuine warmth. Kimberly and Ben are the kind of folks anyone would be lucky to know.

My dog loves any opportunity she gets to spend time with them! I have no doubt they would pour their hearts into ensuring the absolute best possible life for a dog in their home. Please let me know if there’s any further information I can provide.

[Mary McEneaney]

Additional Reference:

Chelsey Prewitt: Hi Mary, thanks for reaching out. And so sorry about the delayed response— for some reason, your email doesn’t show up in my inbox (I had to search to find it!). Maybe just a weird issue on my end.

But yes, I’ve known Ben and Kimberly for 8 years and am so excited for them to enter their “dog” chapter. They’re incredibly reliable people with a routine schedule, stable home, and they’ve already told me they plan on prioritizing lots of dog training and socialization. If you’ve had a chance to meet/chat with them, they always show up exactly as they are: kind, united, and with a plan! They stayed with me a few months ago and loved spending time with my dog (‘d have no problem leaving him with them)– and I know they’ve been itching for their own! I can confirm they both have grown up with family dogs, and though this will be the first pet of their own……they’re so ready.

I’ve only learned about Airedales through conversations with Kimberly the last few weeks! What adorable and fun little things they are. Thanks for the rescue work you do— I hope you find great homes for everybody this year.

Let me know if I can help in any other way. I’ll also leave my phone number if you need it.
