10/23 – asked Michael to help with a transport from Adel, GA back toward Atlanta since he is in Macon
We have had Togo (now known as Jackson) for going on 3 years (it will be 3 years on Jan 1). We have an almost 9 year old Airedale named Buddy too. Jackson is so precious and sweet but his anxiety is absolutely through the roof. He’s on two meds for it, but he is in a constant state of vigilance and is terrified of my husband (who we think probably looks like his abusive former owner – from what we’ve determined on facebook). He never really fully relaxes (even when my husband is not around). He has been a little aggressive too (no biting, just a lot of posturing) with young adults who come into our home. So we have our hands full. I have wanted to update you guys about this. I know it takes such a long time for adjustment but he is still not there. We just adore him though and I think it’s best to just be patient and work around his needs. Open to suggestions from you guys too though. We’ve had a trainer work with him some too.
Jackson adores Buddy and sticks to him like glue. I don’t know what we’ll do when Buddy goes. Ugh. Jackson also loves his daycare/playcare, so we take the boys there a couple of times a week.
Spoke to Rod:
Background
Rod is a pastor, lived in Ohio. had a farm and lots of space. Had her since she was 6 mos. Now in Charleston. In transition, moving right now.(he was driving from SC to Ohio, trailering back and forth). They are renting a house where they cannot have her. Does not have to be ‘tomorrow’/end of month – they are going to make it work, she deserves to be in a familyGinger:
not a puller – walks well on a leash
picky about which dogs she likes and does not like
he has a GSP – gets a long with. Male.
Dog belonged to a German Wire Haired. Female
Maybe its the female thing? But she has been around smaller female dogs and no aggression.
When he says aggression – he has it but it is not really bad – never big a dog, no puncture wounds ever
Exposure to horses and cows.
Lived on a farm in Kentucky when she was 6 mos – ran free on farm.
Kids – ‘grandkids’ 2 year old and 6 year old – she play bites, mouthy but never hurt. She can be rambunctious when playing.10/2023
Linda Jarvis called me to let me know that she placed a male ‘dale with David and Anne in New Bern. Linda had a blind male ‘dale (and blind female) from a recent litter. She named him Stevie for Stevie wonder. Linda worked with a trainer to help Stevie – he is very confident. Within a weekend, Stevie had mastered the steps at Anne and David’s home. THe only hold out was their current dog was not a huge fan of Stevie. Linda asked them to make a donation to ARG for Stevie – she is not charging them for her dog due to the blindness. Linda took the male and female to Dr English in Raleigh who is a top eye doctor and there was nothing to be done to fix the blindness it occurred in development. Linda is not breeding either the male, female of this incident and puppies are all in homes.Maxfields were offered a dog that was surrendered (form) to us from Atlanta area. The finder of the male ‘dale decided to keep the dog in the end. Maxfield wanted to adopt him but I had to let them know that the owener decided to not surrender to ARG

I just wanted to let you know that I decided to say goodbye to Cooper a couple of weeks ago. His problems with his back legs / spinal cord just became too much and his quality of life was really deteriorating. The only option left was spinal surgery, and I couldn’t put him through that at his age. He was the sweetest boy and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to rescue him.
I’m not ready for another dog yet, but will let you know when I am.

Subject: Airedale Transport – Jack, Saturday, August 26, Kennesaw, GA to Florence, SCThank you to Shelley and John for providing a loving, fun, safe home for Jack. On Saturday 8/26, Jack will travel to Cindy in Florence for foster and training so that he can become a more amazing Airedale! Saturday will be bittersweet for John & Shelley but thank you for providing a loving environment for Jack when he needed it! Thank you to all of our volunteers who are spending Saturday to help Jack get across GA & SC!!!!
Safe Travels and I will be available for any questions.(919-605-4563) Let me know when you’re safely back home! Pictures are welcome but safety first!
Safety:
Regular safety – please ensure that you are aware of Jack when opening car doors, transferring him from person to person, always making sure a hand is on the leash. Unless necessary, remain in car 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 her off leash at any time. Double Leashing is preferred if you have a slip lead to bring along for your leg of the trip.
Do not feel the need to walk Jack 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 Jack cannot accidentally open a window or door! (It has happened! Airedales are very smart!)
Trip Details:
1)Please confirm to me (email or text) – when you rec’d this note
2) If you know the area and its not safe, does not make sense, let me know and I’ll adjust this – I guess on the meeting spot selections!
