Subject: Airedale Rescue Group – home visitHello Susan and David,
My name is Christina and I am a volunteer with Mary in Airedale Rescue Group. I would like to introduce you two for the next step in our application process, the home visit. Susan is a long time Airedale owner, ARG friend, ARG adopter, ARG volunteer – and she lives in the Asheville area and will be the volunteer who you meet for the home visit.Susan and David, please determine a time between the two of you which is good for a home visit. Understanding that your area has had recent snow, ice and cold – please do this when it makes sense for safety. I imagine you all are hunkered down and not going anywhere right now.
Happy Sunday, stay warm!

919-605-4563HV – let’s ask MP and Brett Broadwater in Tarboro, NC. They adopted an ARG ‘dale from us who is RB. They now own a ‘dale from LynnAire
HV: Annie Holleran lives in the same exact area – adopted Molly, now Phoebe
Also Vojin lives in this area. I can make any introductions/HV requests, CPMichelle:
Dorthy has had high anxiety since her return. Favoring her back right leg a little and freaks when I am out of her sight. Mouthing has increased excessively and she has been on high alert. Working with her to get her back stable. I am absolutely so mad over this ordeal. I am still processing it and had you guys on my radar before she even went to this woman. But did not know how to reach out to you guys and even signed up for your Facebook page prior to this adoption fail.From Michelle when asked about children:
She does fine around the grand kids under my supervision. She has been more mouthy since she has returned. But continue working on it. One thing for sure is when she gets overstimulated and loses focus I return her to her crate so she can calm down.
Here is a list of what she needs.
Someone who has experience with Airedale. Someone who understands she is a rescue and is not coming to them perfect. Good fences in yard only in yard while supervised. 10×10 kennel outside on concrete slab for when not supervised. She will dig given the opportunity but will stop when told. Someone strong in obedience and a leader for her. Crate in the house. She goes to bed around 9 and you will not hear a peep until 6 to 7. She is a 50 lb puppy for real! She is true to her breed. Loves lots of toys. She is very loyal too the people she loves. Listening skills have greatly improved and looks for guidance. She is thriving in strutucture and routine. I would not recommend small children because she is a lot and could cause fear in small kids. My grand son is 10 and she knows when he is nervous and it stimulates her because she does not get it is her he is timid of.
Have noted she is all over me if my blood pressure is up. She will jump on me even if given command. Until I sit down and take my blood pressure. She has been a good reminder to take my meds.Declined Sam, <1 y/o in 1/2024

As much as I want to say yes to adopting this sweet baby, right now is not a good time for a puppy for us. I just got back in the office full time for a few months and not sure if I want to leave a baby in a crate 🙁 .
If there is any help getting him to a future home for driving, please let me know me know.Sent from my iPhone
HV idea – Scarbroughchipman@gmail.com Susan Chipman in Fuquay Varina which is very close to Willow Spring. I can make the intro for you or just reach out to her. She adopted in 2016 but very nice
HV – ask sharper3026@gmail.com Susan Harper, she lives near Swannanoa. She has adopted 2X from ARG and has a current young ‘dale (not ARG but she got her through an ARG lead). Susan is great!
Michelle has a soft spot for Airedales so she has cared for Dorothy. SHe was placed in a home with misfit and Michelle went over transition and the adopter completly ignored anything Michelle said and within 12 hours, Dorothy was back with Michelle. The adopter did not give her the meds, nor use a crate, which Dorothy uses as her safe spot and crate will calm her.
At Michelle’s home, there are 3 cats and Dorothy will play with them – but she is too rough. When in her temp adoption home, she grabbed the cat and the cat ‘needed to be vetted’. MIchelle said she has no aggression to cats – just too rough. Overall – Dorothy is a heavy player – not aggressive.
She needs a very structured and disciplined home. Michelle advises that the home not be in the Asheville area as the owner is still in that area.
(When with owner, Michelle does not know what she was fed, given, meds – she suspects that DOrothy was given her owner’s meds at times).
Misfit Mountain Rescue:
Little Miss. Dorothy is aged around 1.5 years old and ready for her forever family!
She is spayed, heartworm negative, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines!
Dorothy is very playful with other dogs and is working on respecting boundaries and personal space. She would do best with an active family who can truly give her the time and attention she needs, as she is curious, active, & playful! Dorothy’s energy level is too much for young children but she would do well with mature/older kids! She is a big ol’ love bug filled with lots of kisses, cuddles, and hugs!
Dorothy loves to run around with her friends, play tug, and fetch. She would be a lovely companion for a family who is active & committed to helping her strengthen her manners!
Dorothy has been living the good life with her foster family, Michelle; we are so thankful for Michelle & her family for helping Dorothy along on this journey to find her forever familyDorothy is with Misfit Mountain Rescue however her foster mom has reached to ARG for help to get her into an Airedale home. Foster Mom – Michelle is a groomer in Candler NC. Dorothy (formerly Jackie but she did not respond to that name) lived in a home with an owner who had mental health issues. Police officer found her tied up to a stair banister in her home, unknown how neglected/abandoned she had been. She had eaten the dry wall and baseboard. Police officer named her Dorothy and said for a dog who had been so badly treated by humans, she was never so happy to see him when he came in. Animal Control contacted Michelle the night Dorothy was ‘in care’ and asked Michelle to bathe her because she was in such neglect. Within a day or so, A/C called Michelle and asked her to keep her because she was not doing well in the A/C. At this time, she had not been formerly surrendered. The father and brother of her owner have since formerly surrendered Dorothy. Dorothy is with misfit mountain rescue.
Due to the trauma that Dorothy experienced with previous owner, she has anxiety and has been prescriped trazadone and gabepentin 3x/day.
