hi Sara –
I wanted to let you know that you’re an approved Airedale home! The Winklers enjoyed meeting you this week and think you’ll make an Airedale a great home. The next step is finding an AIredale for you all to foster! We do not have any foster needs that fit your home at this time however that could change at any minute. Please be patient – we really want to convert you to an Airedale family soon!Please let me know if you have any questions – really happy for you all!

Subject: Airedale Home Visit – Sara Videttohi Sara & Sue
I’d like to introduce you two for the next step in the Airedale Rescue Group process – the home visit. Sue and her husband adopted a special ‘dale from ARG named Pi! Besides Pi, they are Airedale experienced and know the breed well. Please determine a mutual time that you all can meet and Sue can come to your home to meet all of you. Its best to arrange a time that your family will be home so she can meet everyone and if any questions need to be asked about ‘dales – Sue can answer them! Thank you both!Christina Prange

attention goes away from dog – then he forgets itSister in law has a dog – does wel and goes to dog park

he knows all hte commands

Georgia’s dog is unpredictable and snaps. Breeder referred him to ARG. She has 9 puppies and cannot take him back, breeder also mentioned that kimanini is a very large man.n I told Laurie that we did not have a foster home for Woolly and that his unpredictable behavior was difficult to place,
Allyson Lewis mentioned above to home visit is away until a oft.
I emailed Kevin and Sue Winkler who live in Roswell tonHVSara Videtto
Status: Initial approval
Next Step: Move to HV
I had an excellent call with Sara Videtto. Three of the 4 family members were allergic to their previous dog so they explored breeds for their next dog to be sure that they wouldn’t have allergy issues with the next one; this is how they discovered the Airedale breed. They seem to be very proactive in this search, hence their desire to foster an Airedale first so they can be sure the breed is right for them.
I asked about the fact that they don’t have a fenced yard and they do have a pool (which itself is fenced). The house does have fencing on 2 sides but in the past (including when they lived in CT), they didn’t have fencing and they trained their dogs not to go beyond the property. They do have 4 acres so it is a lot of space. Until the dog is trained, it will not be allowed out without being on leash. The dog will never be out on its own without someone being with him/her.
There are numerous dog parks in the area. Sara noted they will ensure the dog is comfortable and safe in the yard and not go back if there are concerns.
RE: the pool. We discussed how they would ensure the safety of the dog when in the pool area. The dog won’t be in the pool area without someone being with it. They will likely deter him/her from going in the pool but will teach the dog how to swim and how to get out should it fall it. They did this in the past with Oliver.
They no longer have cats or another dog but they still have a tortoise. The tortoise doesn’t run around on its own but we did discuss working with the dog to ensure it knew the tortoise was a family member and neither a toy nor prey.
The dog will not be alone for more than an hour or so daily, up to a few hours on days their boys have soccer games. She writes childrens’ books so works from home.
When the family goes on vacation, they have always had one of their children’s babysitters staying in the house since they know they are trustworthy.
Sara commented on how she really likes that we are as thorough as we are in asking questions about the welfare of their past dogs and the home situation.
I clarified that there is no fee to foster but if they decide to adopt, there will be a fee, amount being based on age of dog. She was fine with that.
Vet: The family moved to Roswell in February so they haven’t been with Mabry Animal Hospital for too long but the clinic noted both Oliver and the one remaining cat were up to date with vaccines, dentals, bloodwork,etc. They were definitely familiar with the family so clearly the animals have been regular visitors since moving there in February.
Groomer: The person who used to groom Oliver in CT no longer works there but they were able to confirm the dog come in 4X/year. (Sara did all Oliver’s grooming once they moved to Roswell since they didn’t find a groomer they like and she also bathed the cats and cut their nails!
Personal Reference: Courtney Canhao said they were “an amazing family and Sara is one of the best moms to her humans and pets that I’ve ever met. [The animals] were so loved and cared for. They are such a special family and any human and/or animal would be so lucky to have them in their life.”
