Subject: Re: Fwd: Adoption Application Form submitted on Airedale Rescue GroupChristina,
Just looked up Dave Rose. I did email him to schedule a time but never heard back. I’m usually pretty good at remembering to follow up but apparently that slipped through the cracks.
I’ll do that right now.
m
over.
Rick Dillon – I had a good call with Rick. Rick also had a glowing review from his vet, who told me that his dogs are always up to date and ‘whatever his babies need, they get. Ultrasounds, surgery whatever.’ His lab gets Dasaquin for her joints and he feeds American Journey, which I’d not heard about before the dogfoodadvisor rates it very highly (4.5 stars). His other reference is his stepdaughter but since she’s a family member, I didn’t call her for a reference, especially since his vet spoke so glowingly about their care of their current dogs.
He previously had an Airedale, Abby, whom he adopted from a shelter. She was HW positive but he fell in love with her and took her successfully through the treatment. She was 3-4 YO when he got her. She passed as a result of stomach cancer. Growing up, his cousin had an ADT.
I meant to ask if there was a chance of grandkids to be sure we get them the right dog since he notes everyone in the family are adults but then mentioned his son is engaged, but forgot so suggest the home visit person ask about that.
I asked what steps he;d take if the dog got lost and he mentioned social media, signage, searching, etc. Based on our discussion, it is clear he understands proper introduction of a new dog. His 9 YO male collie and his 14 MO lab (both neutered) get along very well.
The family is looking for a younger female who can be a companion for the 14 MO lab.
Definitely recommend moving the Dillon’s to home visit status.
Shelly Browne – I scheduled an appointment with Shelly for a call but when I called her, she told me she wasn’t available. I never heard back from her and didn’t call her since I figured if she was serious about adopting, I’d hear from her. I suggest removing her from the list.

Subject: Fwd: Airedale Rescue adoption application – Matt HolycrossBelow is the reply from matt Holycross. In the new house but no fence yet. Thoughts on their receiving a pup given the lack of fence but their being experienced Airedalers?
I lean to yes since they make sure to leash them when not in a fenced area.

To: Annecy AiredaleMary,
Thanks for following up. We are in the new house, but we do not have a fence yet. If that will be an issue, it may be some time before it’s put up. If that isn’t an issue (given our history with the breed and the fact we’d never let an airedale outside un-leashed in that situation), we can schedule sometime as soon as we are home from vacation next Monday.
Our new address is: 1514 Tanglewood Rd, Columbia, SC 29205
Thanks
MattBecky Wolber’s reply Re: sex, age, and timing of getting another dale.
She wants to wait until she has just one or none at all. We can keep her on the back burner until she lets us know she’s ready.

Subject: Re: Airedale Rescue Group Adoption Application – quick ?
To: Annecy AiredaleHi! We would prefer female but are open to males as well. As for age, ideally 6 and under, closer to 1 year.
We would rather wait until we have 1 or 0 – just to not upset Lilly or Mac. I think a companion would be good if/when one passes.
Hope you had a good weekend! Thanks for chatting last week.

Rebecca,
Forgot to ask you when we chatted – On your application you didn’t have a preference for M/F or age but it sounds like you’d want someone younger who can keep Mac going as he ages. And perhaps another female to keep the balance of M/F in the house?
Also, if a good fit arises, would you want to take in a 3rd while you still have Lily, or would you prefer to wait? (For me, I generally wait rather than upset my seniors’ routine at that age but that might not be the case with her. You’ll know if she would welcome a new sibling best.)
Let me know your thoughts and we’ll add them to the notes.
