I sent to Sue on 8/12 to check vets. I think treat this guy as an applicant. He has great inentions and would be helpful in that area.
I will move to moved on neutral. Does not seem like stellar applicants and not pursued after initial connection.
Cullman, AL is north of Birmingham on the interstate going to Huntsville, AL so it is a great location. It is closer to Decatur, AL. Also near Hartselle, Al and somewhat close to Jasper, AL but not really a good location to have a volunteer to do a hv so I will call again and see if still interested.
Claire spoke with him on 8/30/08
she said he was very willing to do HV, Transort. She thought he was nice man and he wanted to adopt when the yard was fenced.

Christina, Hello!
Yes, we are up for a home visit. We are still interested in adopting another Airedale, but are in the middle of some job transitions, so we’re not able to adopt for a few months. Once we get used to our new schedule, we’ll be able to adopt. However, if we could still have a home visit so we’re qualified to adopt when the time is right, we’d like to do that.

I spoke with Lee today 8/12/2012 and she started out by talking about her previous dogs, both were smooth fox terriers. Her last one, Gracy who died about 3 weeks ago was not typical – she was not a hyper terrier. Lee does the care taking of the dog but the entire family is involved and must be in agreement about the dog. Their son is starting high school this fall and he is interested in a bigger dog. Lee said that although he will only be living with them full time for the next 4 years, she takes into consideration his desire for a bigger dog but also that he is going into high school and will be going to college. They have a fenced in yard with a dog door. Their household is very friendly with neighbors and they have friends over with smaller kids for dinner. They need a family friendly dog. They go on a family walk every night – dog and husband/wife. Sometimes her son will go with them. They are leash walkers. Her husband is a jogger and in the past, the smooth fox terriers had run wtih him. She exercise walks 3X week and the dog could do that with her as well. She said that if the running did not suit the dog, it was not a requirement. Lee is home most of the day. She is taking a year off from teaching pre school.. She has a flexible schedule that involves volunteering and caring for her elderly mother. Their older dogs had run of the house and they quit using a crate after Gracie aged.
Lee said one thing is they are not strict disciplinarians. They don’t have a chewed up home but she said they let everyone live kinda without harm. I used the example that Tuna had stolen a stick of butter today and it taught me a lesson and luckily it was not a fatal lesson but i did not get mad about it. She said they’re kinda that way.
They have applied with the fox terrier group. She said they are open to a shelter dog. She has not gone to the shelter because she knows she would come home with a dog. I suggested instead of a shelter to work with a local rescue group that pulls the ‘cream of the crop’ shelter dogs instead of going directly to shelter if she went that route – just because it would screen out some of that emotion. lana & wendy will HV. I sent lana the application info; a copy of the HV check list and an intro note to both of them.
Christina,
We are in love! We have some obedience training to get on but she is lovely and has taken to the girls and neighborhood kids quite well. She’s the sweetest thing. Truly. Even with the need for some training, she has found her forever home. She woke up the twins this morning by jumping in their bed and nuzzling them around the face, chest and arms. It was so cute.
Do you know if she’s chipped? The Tarpley’s vet hasn’t found one. We will take to our vet next week.
I have to admit that this is the first dog I’ve ever met that isn’t treat motivated. We are working at finding her motivation.
Thank you for your help in finding Tilly for us. We are so thrilled!!!
Regards,
Lara
Don thanks for the response about your new puppy. I’m sure you’re enjoying puppy-hood. Out of curiosity, where did you get the puppy from? Was he from your area? We often get requests for puppies and I like to recommend breeders when someone is looking for a young dog. Would you mind sharing? Thanks again and best wishes with your puppy.

Thanks for checking. We found an Airedale puppy in early April.
Thank you,

Sue reminded me that Banfield requires owner permission to grant information to be shared so I wrote to Greg and asked him to allow info to be shared with Sue Taylor. I also asked a time to call him – after 7pm one night this week.
I spoke to Joy and I have emailed her a note so that she can email me photos. She said that she had completed this form about 6 times and never sent it because she was so sad to have to surrender Yogi. She got Yogi from someone who was going to turn him into a kill shelter that was full. Yogi had lived outside only, fenced yard and the people threw out Old roy for him to eat – just threw it out. She had had him on chicken and rice food. He is an inside dog. Very obedient. Walks in a heel at her left side. Her daughter is 21 y/o and she has a beagle/bully mix and he tolerates him but Yogi would rather be with human. The beagle/bully tries to play and he does not engage. Joy also has a 5 y/o child and she thinks that Yogi is getting fed lots of food from that child so she has no way to control his food if there was an allergy to soy/wheat/corn.
She has never had him vetted. Never been on HW preventative so she is afraid he will have hw. I think this is one where we should move quickly – once I receive the photos.
