Responded to a text 3/2025 about helping with ARG Transport – still happy to help. just could not on the weekday that I asked.
frost bite – ears are a bit cropped due to frost bite; toe nail – ‘wonky’ but not a big deal. Sarah bought her booties to wear in the snow this winter and she puts them on easily. When she sits she lifts her paw up for a shake – repeat. Does well with grooming (had not been groomed prior to coming to Sarah).

They went with the hardest pairing – female, older, easy lab and
have not seen her with other males
Came from CL – picked up in IL – free on CL but came from a breeder – Amish breeder (different culture for dogs). They had her and did not disclose a lot. Probably had a litter of puppies, kept her outside, free feeding. Was 78 lbs when they got her. Good with their kids and apparently friendly with farm animals – had a goat pal.
Has slimmed down!
Has not spayed due to HW. Going through HW and 7 mos in and wait one year. Has gone into heat 2x. End of December 2024. Got her in June – when they got her.
Very excitable personality. Heartbroken that they need to this but for health. Have about 1 acre property. Keep her on leash. Good on leash – does not tug a lot. Working on keeping her calm when other dogs go by. She does not lose her mind when other dogs go by (other dogs in neighborhood do). Uses gentle leader and standard collar.
Nigel passed away in 2/2025. Moved to ‘waiting for spare ‘dale’ without their permission, just because they’ll eventually be ready. Repeat adopter.

Subject: Nash Transport on Saturday 2/15/25Hello Thank you for helping to get our big boy (90lbs!) Nash to his foster dad on Saturday 2/15 (Tomorrow). We appreciate each of your help to drive a leg of the journey to his foster dad. We know that Nash hates cats! I doubt there will be cats at the transport change locations but be aware – even a small dog may peak his interest.
Safety:
Regular safety – please ensure that you are aware of Nash when opening car doors, transferring him from person to person, always making sure a hand is on the leash. Unless necessary, remain in car with A/C until transport transfer occurs; when opening car doors, ensure that the leash is secured by hand on the leash; when allowing potty breaks – ensure that collar/leash(s) are tight for no escape; be aware of surroundings – even a plastic bag in the wind may spook a dog in unfamiliar settings. Do not let him off leash at any time 😊 Do not feel the need to walk Nash outside if you arrive early. Sitting in the car will be fine for him. (IF you have a water bowl, please bring it so he can take a water sip between cars to keep him hydrated)
PLEASE USE YOUR CHILD LOCKS so that Nash cannot accidentally open a window or door! (It has happened!)Dogma/Smyrna (Lisa to James) 1 hr 15

Subject: Re: Small ‘dale ScruffyChristina and Pat,
I am so sorry, but I don’t think it will work for Scruffy here. We live on a busy street and have no fence. My female, Willow, is fully trained on the Halo fence and is so calm and obedient. (Pat, she is definitely one of Gerardo’s Airedales; noble, aloof and resplendent!) I feel confident that we could train Scruff, if I could take some time off of work, but that’s not possible right now. This is so hard because I want to come get him right now!
We have friends who have a Welsh that they ADORE, would you be interested in me reaching out to them to see if they might be interested? Or does it have to be an approved family?

Responded about Welshie and he is not ready. I texted to him after an email. He was in Florida on vacation but gave a quick text response.
