We have been unable to obtain the vet records for OB. Perhaps your vet can get them:
Banfield on University Drive, Huntsville AL (256)922-1920. Listed under Byron and LaDonna Stewart
5/16 – asked Michelle Bruchon Grossman to HV she lives in Gastonia
5/18 – resent note to Michelle; 5/18 – asked Andrea ChaseAndrea to HV. Sent app and HV ck list to Andrea. Sent intro note to all.
Home Visit scheduled Thursday, May 28th, at about 1:00pm
Theo is from Beitzel Babies. He is 82 lbs. Trust worthy to stay in house while they are at work. They have a doggie camera to see him when they are away. Her daughter owns THeotis’s brother and they don’t get along. Daughter lives 25 minutes from them. They want a female, would prefer age 1-2 and willing to wait to get a younger. They love their vet. They have not traveled since adopting him. Their son (adult) lives with them and he can take care of dog. If they are gone more than 6 hrs, they have someone come in. They have boarded him over night at their vet/kennel. Planning a trip to OBX in fall. Their beagle mix female lived to 17 years old. Theotis really loved her.
Home Visit – by Barb and Terry – they called me over phone due to the confusion that Nancy and Lonnie were looking for Ellie the ‘doodle, not an Airedale. Barb did not want to fill out the HV form if it was for ‘not’ since their interest was Ellie. Her concern – their other dog in the home is an older dog, short stocky and arthritic.
Fenced area – 2 fenced areas. 1 – fenced area accessible to door from downstairs goes into a pool area. Downstairs opens up to pool. Her concern was a dog having access by dog door to the pool and if the dog got into the pool and was not able to swim.
Overall she said they are very nice people., she could tell they had a good relationship with their vet and the vet care they give their dog; food, dog is well loved and cared for. Barb told them that was her concern (pool and older dog). Barb told me that they also have chickens which would be a concern for an Airedale. Maybe the chickens are separately fenced?IHI Lonnie and Nancy
Barbara enjoyed her home visit to you all but wanted to clarify one thing. Are you all interested in Ellie the ‘doodle or are you interested in adopting an Airedale.Ellie is no longer in ARG care. She was accepted by a rescue in Charlotte, and we can send you their info if you’re interested in them. We felt like Ellie was in a better place to be rehomed with their rescue instead of an Airedale.

Subject: Airedale Rescue Group applicationHi Whitely, Thanks for meeting last week about your interest in adopting an Airedale and thanks for your documentation from the apartment facility where you live. The apartment is approving a service animal to live at your residence (MAA documentation).
ARG does not place dogs into homes where the dog is intended to serve as a service dog or emotional support animal. Because the documentation provided indicates approval for a service dog accommodation, your application falls outside of our placement guidelines. Many of the dogs that come into rescue have unknown or incomplete backgrounds, and we cannot responsibly predict whether they would be suitable for specialized working or support roles.
Our ARG ‘dales would not be a candidate to be a service animal. I’m sorry that I don’t have recommendation for any service dog organizations.

Subject: Airedale Rescue Group – available Airedales in SChi Madison and Joseph
My name is Christina and I am a volunteer with AIredale Rescue Group. Are you all still interested to add a needy ‘dale to your family? We have a few Airedales that came into our care recently and they are located in SC. Let me know if you’re still interested and we will try to find a match for your family – including Luke! Have there been any changes in your household since we last connected with you?Available
Female – age 2
Female – estimated age 3-4
Male – age 2
Female age 7Christina Prange
919-605-4563I spoke on phone with Whitley and explained that we would need to check with the landlord for approval for dog. She said that she needed to get a legal letter from her lawyer and medical team which she provided on May 8. Her doctor needs to send some emotional support paperwork.
Current apartment has a dog park at apartment. 4 feet fence at dog park. Apartments are very strict on dogs for leashing and picking up poop. Apartment is on 3rd floor.
Whitley, her boyfriend and roommate are waiting for the current lease to be over. And will probably move to Harrisburg. NC
Airedale must get along with other dogs as her family is close and they watch each other dogs when one goes away. Sister has a rottweiler; cousin has a pyr mix with a labdoodle. She has never owned a female dog but is open to owning a female ‘dale. She is open to all ages of ‘dales.
Whitley had initially questioned if it was required to spay/neuter and she was initially against it but understands now that all dogs from ARG are spayed or neuteredWhat are Whitely’s ideas for the rescued ‘dale to detect diabetes – training? Expectations, Does not absolutely need the training but would like to have additional training in on a puppy b/c sometimes does not wake up when she hears her alarm. Would have to check the temperament and if the dogs does that type of work.
Application mentions” To train/use as an assistance dog for the disabled”- need more details as Airedales typically are not able to be trained for this; who is she intending to use this dog for – herself? Whitely has Lupus and Type 1 diabetes. She is looking for emotional support. Being there emotionally. She gets a little upset about her health, always hearing bad news, likes to stay active. Therapist said even if it is through rescue will better her moods and get her going even more. Wants to go back to being adventurous
