3/29/23 Michael said : Pearl is very sweet — toward people, & most likely should be in e one-dog household.
She is very aggressive toward Alfie.
It has only been 1-full day, & will try another day, but odds right now, is that we will NOT keep her.
3/28/23 per Michael
Some good news: Alfie & Pearl’s play this morning has been better — much less dangerous.Partly may be Pearl more at ease, but also perhaps due to Alfie finally responding enough to contain Pearl.
We will see how it goes for the balance of the day.
We would very much like for Pearl to fit-in.
3/29/23
Despite some periods of relief, Pearl is still very aggressive with Alfie.We will wait until Friday, but high probability we will not want her to stay here.
Will let you know on Friday.

1. Please arrange for someone to pick Pearl up here, no later than Sunday.
2. If not, I will hire a service to deliver her. Please provide the address where we should deliver Pearl.

I want her out of the house ASAP.
Either arrange to have her picked-up, or give me an address & I will have her transported.
3/30 6:04 AM – Christina responded that we started as soon as they let us know it would not work for Pearl we were looking.
3/30 6:15 AM
Our day-care can take her this morning, ’til you have her picked-up.She will NOT spend another night in our house.
But in 2 hours, we will check with one person whom may be able to driver her from here.
Please give me an address to send her; I assume in Charlotte, NC area.

I will not discuss anything.
If you don’t provide an address in NC, I will drop her at any nearby dog pound.

Hi Michael
May I ask what happened.
I am working on a solution but I won’t have one in two hours. I just don’t think I will. Daycare is a good option3/30 7:38 AM
Christina: Hi Michael
Please do not take her to animal control
We are working to find a solution today
You know we stand behind our Airedales and we just need time this morning to get things moving3/30 9:10
She is at day-care now. Somebody could pick her up there, but AFTER you provide just who & when.

Michael, she doesn’t need to go to NC. We want her to stay in the Atlanta area. We have more people who can help. I will find someone to either come get her ASAP or find a day care/boarding facility where you can take her, if you’d be so kind.

hi Michael- ARG will call the daycare and arrange for payment and boarding (Do they have over night boarding?).
We do not have a volunteer/foster yet to pick her up. We have been working on a solution but until we have one, the best place will be for her to board. I promise, we are working on it and someone will get her but until then we just need to pay for her to overnight. A lot of times we cannot move a dog until weekends, when people can drive.
Thanks for your help to get her to daycare. As Jackie stated, we have don’t need to get her back to Charlotte.

Day care will give rescue dogs 50% discount.
But I want her to go to a home ASAP, so I will not give you name of boarding, until you have specific info as to whom/when.
If I don’t hear specifics, the owner said she would driver her to NC tomorrow. That will be fall-back position.

Subject: Re: Airedale Home Visit – volunteer for Raleigh area applicantHi Christina,
Touching base regarding our home visit with the King family this past weekend. We were able to meet with them on Saturday afternoon and spent about an hour at their house. They showed us around the house and their backyard and we talked all about the nuances of adopting an Airedale. Sending over our evaluation, we definitely think they would be a great family for a rescue dale. Please let me know if you have any questions or want us to fill in any gaps in the evaluation.
Best,

Hello Kings and Hello Melissa!
My name is Christina and I am a volunteer with Jo-Anne for Airedale Rescue Group. I wanted to intro you to Melissa Vogt who is an ARG adopter, Airedale owner and ARG volunteer. Melissa and her husband will home visit you which is the next and final step in the ARG adoption process.Will the two of you all determine a date/time that a home visit can be done. The ask is that all of the Kings are at home for the home visit 🙂 so that we can meet all of you. I know that is hard to juggle with work, school, kids, life! I look forward to getting this final step done!
Thank you Melissa! Thank you Kings!

Subject: Re: Some questions re Pearlhi Michael
First, here are her vet records. This is not the most current which has her spay and microchip info. I’ll get that to you on Monday as I need to call the Signal Mountain vet for the finalized record. She was spayed and had microchip in mid Feb when she was boarding at the facility.Some details from her foster Mom Marci
PearlDOB: 10-29-2017; weight 50 lbs.
Food – Science Diet – sending food with her for transition, 1.5 C, 2X day
Medication: will send her heart guard, nex gard, trazodone ( she came with this and Marci never used it) and microchip information.
Last HW pill given on March 2.No other meds given; never gave any urinary incontincne meds. She never had urinary incontience at Marci’s home. Marci thinks Pearl may have spent a lot of time in a crate in her former home and she may have peed as soon as she got out of crate bc she had been in crate for long time. Marci never saw any issues.
Pearl has not tried to get out of our backyard. We are always out there with her and she loves to run around and chase a tennis ball. Marci was working with her to catch a frisbee and she is good at this!
She only poops when loose in the backyard and not on a walk (even a very long walk) but we are managing that. She does ok on a leash – she can pull very hard, but she can also walk nicely. She is a little skittish- I don’t think she has been exposed to very much (school buses, lawn blowers, brick mailboxes, etc) – poor girl. When she pulls, it is more to follow a smell than she pulls at other passing dogs. She does not have a strong prey drive- no problems with squirrels running by. She also does not bark a lot.
Sometimes she is sweet and calm – right now she is just laying in the kitchen with me 😊(Max is upstairs), but other times she is a crazy lady and she can get very excited and she will wrap her arms around me and get very mouthy. I tell her no and push her down, but then it is a game and she jumps back up and continues. She is not aggressive, but she is persistent
Pearl has gone to doggie day care and played well with a labradoodle.
She gets into trouble when left alone. She does well in her crate and loves bully sticks and kongs or hollow marrow bones with frozen peanut butter. (Notes from original owner indicate she is a chewer but got better with age). Marci put Pearl in crate when she left house. Occasionaly if she knew she was tired, she would leave her unattended, resting on couch if she would leave. “She tends to get into most trouble when she was not at home, uncrated”. I would say – crate when you are not home!
Marci wonder if one of the reasons Max (resident ‘dale, Senrior) did not get along with her is because he felt so poorly. He is usually a very agreeable man.
Marci: I will be thinking a lot about Pearl. Please tell her new family that I am happy to talk, text (Marci)!

Subject: Pearl Transport on Sunday 3/26/23hi Marci, Jack, Alison, Robin & Don, Jeannette & Michael,
Thank you for helping to transport Pearl on Sunday March 26 from Charlotte, NC to Powder Springs, GA!!!! Let me know that you received this note and are ‘good’ with the details. (THANK YOU!!!)
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 Pearl when opening car doors, transferring her 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 Pearl outside if you arrive early. Sitting in the car will be fine for her. (If you have a water bowl, please bring it so she can take a water sip between cars to keep him hydrated).PLEASE USE YOUR CHILD LOCKS so that Pearl cannot accidentally open a window or door! (It has happened!)

Subject: Airedale Rescue Group – approval from home visitHello Justin and Beth
Marci has enthusiastically endorsed your family as qualified to adopt an Airedale. She enjoyed meeting all of you on the weekend. You are an approved adopter!I understand you’re traveling in April. When would you be ready to adopt a ‘dale, when the right one came along.
.
Congratulations and I hope we can match you with an Airedale very soon!Christina Prange

atovskys, we think that Pearl might work for them. Pearl gets along well with people. We think she would get along fine with the Platovskys and their children. She can catch a frisbee and loves to chase a tennis ball and I think the boys would have fun playing with her. She does jump and can be a little rough which might be an issue, especially for their younger son. She also is not completely house trained and can be destructive if she is bored and alone.For Pearl to work for them, she would have to get along with George, their dog. If she does get along with him, then they might play and keep Pearl sufficiently active so that she is not as much of a challenge when she is in the house. Pearl would need training before either of the boys could walk her on a leash. She will need a lot of training before she can be safely left alone in the house.
The Platovskys would be a great family for an Airedale. Pearl may be a little challenging to place. The Platovskys have a trip scheduled in April and would not be ready to adopt until late April.
