Hi Christina!Michelle and Rob Grossman here.
We hope this finds you well.
We wanted to let you know, as per the ARG contract, that our Airedale girl Belle passed away this morning. She was 14.5 years old. We got her when she was 4. We will always love our two ARG Airedale girls. Thank you for all that you have done to find good homes for Airedales. We certainly got two winners.
Thank you for recording the updated info on our Belle.
Sincerely,
Michelle
On Sunday, May 24, 2026 at 12:03:47 PM EDT, Michelle Bruchon GrossmanI have a fairly specific request. I’d be interested in a female Airedale that has been surrendered due to either her owner passing away or moving and they can no longer keep them or care for them. I would really prefer a female, under the age of 5.
That is, if I’m still an approved adopter. While my address has changed, nothing else about my home has. I have a 6′ fence and now work from home, so I’m home more than not.
You can contact me any time at 919 810 2611 or bailey101us@yahoo.com
My primary concern is that I cannot financially afford to take on anyone else’s medical or behavior problems
Emily broke her leg over the weekend and needs to hold on an airedale. June 15,2026 – told her that we would put on hold. THis home needs an airedale for sure – just need to repair Emily.
PHone interview on 6/10. Emily has had Airedales since she was a child and through adult hood. Since completing the application, she is fostering a 3 mos female heeler mix for her local shelter. She may keep this dog so the ‘dale would need to get along with a puppy. Although she has 18 acres, only 1 acres is completely fenced. She has a very large covered porch within the fenced yard where she has yard furniture – like an outdoor living room where the dogs are allowed to be on the furniture outside. SHe does work a couple days a week and she will come home mid day to let the dogs out for bathroom break. Her daughter lives in Raleigh, NC
Based on her fostering for the local shelter – waiving home visit.
vet – lab work done, vaccines, heart worm prevention.
Groomer – “She is one of my favorite clients, she cares very much for her animals, and she’s got a great yard and a very nice house”Per Andrea Chase: meet & greet ‘visit’ with Mark snd Rebecca (& Theo 🦮) went well.
Theo is a compliant dog and eould excell in obediance, which Mark snd Rebecca agreed to do with him and with a ‘new dog’.
There were no red flags.
There is a doggy door in the kitchen leading out to a large fenced yard.
In my opinion, these people would give a good, loving home to one of the ARG gals.
Other than the above, is there anything else you need from me?
Warm regards,

Per HOME VISIT with Nancy Harr:
Her husband is already in the new home, and she is in the process of packing things up. She also needs to do a few repairs and get the house ready for the market. She was unable to give me a range of dates, but from personal knowledge, I would guess about a month out. She did say that the new adoptee would go to the Mt Pleasant house, not the Columbia house.
I had a good visit with Eva. Her current backyard is partially fenced, but her Airedale and her Shellie are already in Mount Pleasant. She confirms that their home there is in a low traffic development, and the HOA requires metal fencing. She confirmed that her dogs are never off leash outside.
I was impressed that she has a pet insurance policy to which the new girl will be added. Her current Airedale required two surgeries, one for eating a sock and the other for eating a rope toy.
She is quite adamant that she wants to see photos of Blanche before the adoption. Could the foster make that happen?
Her dogs had their own space on the main floor of the home, and were obviously well provided for.
She clearly knows what she is getting into with being owned by an Airedale!Christina:
I sent a Congrats – approved note and Eva is interested in one of the golden girls, which are all adopted. Her response back is:
I would be interested in female no older than 2 with no health or behavior issues.5/30/2026 called vet and no preventatives on cat; no prescriptions for cat. No record of dog in this vet care
SEnt an intro email to Heather for phone interview
$350 one time pet fee and $25 month at her apartment complex. Apartment confirmed that Airedales are not on the banned list of dogs that can live there.
Art and Jen are wonderful folks. I highly recommend them to adopt the baby girl asap!
Let me know if you have any questions or need me to fill out any paperwork
Per Shannon Newsom, Mt Juliet, 5/29/26WIll drive from Ophelia AL to Marietta to pick up one of the Golden Girls
Update on application – Holly (ARG) passed away in 12/2025 and Koda passed away last August.
They have Remy who is like 11 or 12 – Airedale; Ellie and now Baiy. Ellie and Bailey are her daughter dogs.
