This is a good transport location for between Asheville and Knoxville.
Paul may work on Saturdays – so have to plan for his schedule6-2025 Duncan is 4 years old, 136 lb. Goes to dog park once week and runs with all dogs. Lives with Cats. Fenced yard (when I spoke to Gloria about transport, they had a storm the prior night and a tree fell on their fence). Duncan has hip displaysia.
Gloria and Paul will help with a transport across TN/NC from Newport to Hot Springs. There has been another rock slide in I40 and I 40 is closed. Gloria warned that everyone is using the Newport route – semi trucks, all traffic is routed along this tiny town and route. She can’t even get out of her driveway at times because of all the re-routed traffic.
6/2025 – asked if they could help with transport Knoxville to Asheville (needed b/c route is alternative due to Helene landslide/road issues)
Wilmington, about half way between Wrightsville and Carolina Beach. If you know where Krispy Kreme is, I’m right across College Rd from KK.
5/2025 I asked lynn for help with a transport. She responded that she is not interested in anything with Airedales. I recommend DO NOT CONTACT Lynne.
Christina,
There are a lot of things I do to manage a multiple dog household. I particularly enforce lot of rules when a new dog is introduced. This minimizes conflict and makes it clear to all the dogs that I will take care of things .
I limit the amount of time that the new dog interacts with the established dog residents and I chose as large an area as possible for this interaction. When in smaller spaces I use a baby gate to separate.
I absolutely separate to feed .
I also routinely use crates and/or outdoor runs and have the dogs confined side by side . This is a good why to let them bond but have their own personal space.
There are many little things that go a long way to help safely establish order
I am sure the older male finds the younger male to be “ a bit much” . They need to be careful that they honor the older males needs such that he does not feel the need to escalate his discomfort into a fight .
The new younger male also needs to understand some boundaries and what is required to be accepted into the household.5/2025 (Based on question about Loki and mutliple dogs)

hello – Tomorrow is the day that we will have Loki transfer to Anna and Dave. Anna and Dave live in Knoxville area and they are former adopters of our beloved Ned Pepper. Loki will join their family with Anna, Dave, their two children and Ned Pepper. It is a bittersweet day for Danielle so we know that this is not an easy day either.Danielle – what types of things will you be sending with Loki? Sometimes it is easier on transition if you send a famillar toy or balls or whatever he likes with him.
Vet records are transferred – no need to worry about paper docs.
Feel free to call each other today or tomorrow if you think of anything or want to ask questions about Loki.

I spoke to Grreg about Loki who needed a new home, located in Columbia. After talking to Greg, it turns out that they do not have a fenced yard. They use invisible fence but their Airedale sticks to him like glue so they don’t even have a collar. He spoke of a lot next to them that they own and he may make that for the dogs – I was not sure what he was talking about.I ended up removing the offer of Loki since he had broken out of a screen porch and did not trust that he would do well in an invisible fence

Just an update. I called Rich, introduced myself, and explained the home visit. He was quite reticent and explained that his wife is going into a memory care center next week and his son from Colorado is coming to Columbia to help him out during the process. I told him to send me a text or give me a call when things are less stressful. If I haven’t heard from him in a couple of weeks, I will call him just to see if he is doing okay.
Is that okay?5/22/25 – spoke with Greg about Loki and realized that they have an invisible fence. Their F ‘dale does not even use the collar because she stays so close to Greg all the time. She loves Greg and he really wants to find a ‘dale that glues to his wife since Samba is devoted to him. I think the big news is – invisible fence.
Loki was originally one of 3 dogs living with danielle. She had a standard poodle who was 14 and passed away last year. Loki likes to play rough, and poodle did not like because he was old. Danielle walks Loki – she does not have a fenced yard. He does have a lot of energy – and she knows that he does not get exercised the way the breed should be. He is a house dog, they have had Loki since he was a puppy. He is house trained. Sit on command, will sit while serving food and wait until she says “Break’. This is the extent of his training. He will do anything for a tree so she thinks if he were in a better situation with someone who had more time, Loki would learn quickly.
Groomer – he wags tail and tries to jump and play with other dogs. She knows that his jumping on people and dogs is a problem but not had time to fix it.
When he is boarded – he goes to a place where he plays with other dogs and never had an issue (boards at Whiskers & Paws).
