Hi – I called MIke as he had phoned me last week and left a message – I just got back to him today.
He wanted to make sure he was sending the money to the right person. He wants to give us some extra money as a donation because ARG has been so good to him.He has had Sheba a week. She is so affectionate and just wants to nuzzle to be close. He has not intro’d her to the other dogs in his house – keeping her separate. He will get her introduced to them and he has purchased a muzzle for them. He said the only problem is she is so nervous but she has calmed down a lot since they’ve had her.
Very good convo.

Molly was offered Dexter (puppy). Was willing to take him then had a medical procedure and needed to back out 7/22
Hey sorry for the late reply. I have been kinda crazy since we got back from our honeymoon. I don’t know if Huey is the pup for us. Frankie just lost her job so I think we are going to put getting a dog on hold until she finds something else. Thanks for reaching out but we will let you know when our situation changes.
“Luke”is doing great! As far as we know he hasn’t tried to climb the fence, yay! He loves playing with his sister, Artemis and they run around the back yard playing and looking for what ever!! Oh we did buy one of those Apple things that goes on his collar in case he does escape! He is now crate trained and we are planning on taking him to dog training. Although I am still concerned with his left leg, the vet said he will X-ray if I’m still concerned. And like most Airedales he has a sensitive tummy and he eats the same leaves that our previous Airedale did!!! Weird! When he comes in from the hot hot outdoors he collapses on the floor with a THUMP! We have a doggie door so he decides when he goes in and out…we sure don’t make him go outside in this weather! He is now part of our family….

By submitting this form, I certify that the information I have provided is true and accurate. I am physically, emotionally, and financially able to care for an Airedale. I understand that Airedales require both physical and mental stimulation to thrive and I will provide both. I understand that Airedales that come into rescue may not have been trained or socialized properly and may need extra time, patience, and care to adjust to a new environment. This may include the need to attend pet obedience classes to help build a better bond with the new dog in the home. I understand that proper food and veterinarian care can be costly, and I am able to meet these needs. I agree that Airedale Rescue Group may check my veterinarian, groomer and personal references, as well as, my landlord, if applicable. Home visits will be conducted prior to and following an adoption to ensure the safe-keeping of the Airedale. ARG reserves the right to decline adoptions. ARG reserves the right to reclaim any dog who, in our judgment, appears neglected, abused, unkempt, or unsafe. ARG reserves the right to reclaim any dog for non-payment of the adoption fee at any time.: I hereby agree, and consent
