Hi chris and Robin
Thank you for reviewing the medical records. It’s such a shame she missed the HW preventative for all those months in kennel. We will get that fixed!These are the other things she should be done either Monday or Surgery day:
Blood pastel for pre surgery
Heart worm test
Purchase HW preventative (prefer heartgard if the practice carries it; due to cost). Would prefer not to use Triflexis
If HW positive, start on Doxycyclin
Fecal
Microchip – already chipped. Scan to ensure chip has not shifted – ensure it’s still thee,
Looks at fatty tumor that you felt on her leg
Rabies, if needed. does SC have a 3 year vaccine instead of 1 year? Only if she is due for rabies, otherwise hold off until due.
DHP, if needed.Upcoming appointment
Spay

Happy Sunday! Patton is improving on the lead quite a bit, I would put her at a solid C, up from F- the first few days she was here. She LOVES her walks and her yard runs. It is not a big yard, but enough to get her up to speed. She and Shiloh play well together and still get along very well. A miracle, as best I can tell, as Patton does not react well to other dogs on walks. That, plus a few basic commands, is a training focus, but I will give it another week or so to assess how she is doing. As she settles in, I expect to see more of her personality.
In preparation for her Monday visit, I went over her medical records so I have a list of things to ask the vet. One that was a surprise is a 2020 Lyme positive test-she could not have ever gotten out much. I don’t see any evidence of an antibiotic regimen having been prescribed. Lyme tests are not known to be all that accurate, so I will get her retested and see what shows up. If you all have any experience with Lyme, let me know.
I can’t confirm a recent heartworm test, so I will ask about that. Until last month, she had not been on either flea/tick or heartworm.
Patton is a good girl and we are glad to have her here. Thanks for trusting us with her, we will do the best we can to keep her healthy and happy.Chris

They are so cute together!! What a great photo!!!
What ever she needs at the vet please have done. Yes, have the vet look at the lumps and bumps to be on the safe side. ARG wants to make sure her needs are met. Make sure to get heartworm preventation and flea/tick control.
Thank you so much for taking Patton in and caring for her.

Good afternoon Pat, please find enclosed a signed foster Agreement for Patton. And finally a decent picture of the two of them, looking for biscuits after their walks this morning. FYI, I noticed a good size lump (3/4 inch by ½ or so) on Patton’s flank yesterday. It feels fatty, but if OK, I would like my vet to look at it when she goes in on Monday for her exam. She has one or two others, but they are much smaller. I chalked them up to being a bit overweight, but the larger one struck me as a concern.

Good afternoon Pat, Christina and Jackie,
Robin has Patton scheduled for preliminary blood work at our vets for Monday, and we will schedule spaying after they get the results. We will request a discount (again), most vets will accommodate a rescue organization. If you all can give me a contact number so the vet practice can call for a credit card, that would be much appreciated. I understand our vet did get her records, I will send images of what I can get. Was going to stop in to the vets today to discuss what they plan to do for blood work.
We did get a behavioral trainer recommendation from the really nice people at K-9 resorts and we thank you for the offer to fund a bit of training for her. I know I talked to the owner once and he mentioned he was thinking of doing it, but never did. She is not well socialized to other dogs and will bark her Airedale head off in a relatively aggressive way, which surprises me that she is just fine around Shiloh. We would like to wait a bit to see what other possible behavior issues emerge, but we don’t have enough data points to assess yet:
Appears to love to hang out on the couch, and did not take well to being told to move. (fortunately, it is an old couch)
May have a bit of escape artist in her. She is always pushing to get out the door and into the yard. I need to get her whistle GPS up and running, in case she does try to go on the lam. Not a real surprise, she has been confined indoors for so long and in a small RV that as a big girl, she’d like to explore some and run around. Obviously, she could get in quite a bit of trouble this way, but I don’t think she has the same escape desire that our first foster had, who lived to try and run away as long as she could come back for dinner or bedtime.
Still pulls hard on the lead, but is definitely getting a bit better. We got her a good harness, which helps.
I still have the impression that she will counter surf given her personality and behavior, but has not tried it yet here.
Jumps up on people and doors, more doors than people so far.
Will try to get a few more pictures of Patton. She seems super comfortable here, as if she has lived here for years. A near twin to the other foster we had, except a bit bigger.
Best,

Great news, update and photo!
I will send you a foster agreement and ARG will pay for her spay and followup veterinary for her skin. Please contact your veterinarian to schedule. On the day of her appointments, the vet office can call me for payment.
Also, if you would be so kind as to copy her veterinarian record and send that to us. Images are ok if that is something you can do. The vet practice has not responded to my request for the records.
If you would like to work with a trainer for her leash walking, ARG will cover that cost. Perhaps Kim at the boarding facility has a recommendation or ARG can locate someone near you.
Thank you again for taking Patton in to foster her.

Good afternoon! Patton continues to fit in very well here. She is an incredibly sweet-tempered Airedale around us (she put her head in my lap yesterday-never had an Airedale do that- and looks for those all-important tummy rubs) and no problems interacting with Shiloh at all. Not a nip or push or growl. Still difficult to lead walk, we seem to have gotten just a little better, but that may have been the 106 real feel temp yesterday tiring us both out! Let us know how you all want to handle spaying-we got her medical records to our vet here but you may have connections with other local vets you all prefer. She is on an antibiotic and another medication for a skin issue that cropped up, but she seems fine. Not a surprise for an Airedale, but she is eating just fine, but clearly has been around people food, which I think comes from her time in the camper van. So far, no sign of counter surfing.Better pictures to come, but Patton loves having toys around and people nearby. A picture containing floor, dog, indoorDescription automatically generated

Good Morning Kim,
Chris and Robin will be contacting you to arrange a pick up time for Patton. They are going to foster her and see how she and Shiloh do in their home.
Thank you for your patience as we sorted things out and for caring for her for such and extended duration.

Hi, Charleigh. Since we haven’t heard from you about Hugo, we assume you have decided to keep him. We hope that this works out well for you both! At 7 months, he’s still smooth-brained and ripe for training. Here is a link for professional dog trainers in your area:
I’ll be on vacation beginning Saturday, but if you have any questions or comments, you can write to Pat Hairston and Christina Prange at the email above.
We wish you the best!
Hey there Christina- Chewy/Huey doesn’t care about his name, btw, we have used both interchangeably. And he is doing GREAT! He has shown aggression to another dog we recently got in, an intact male- another intact male he gets along fine with. The dog he was aggressive towards is an older, mature dog from NC Boxer rescue. The other intact male is still a puppy. We corrected Chewy with a sharp no and redirected him a couple of times; now they ignore each other.
He does appear to get along with other dogs – however I would careful about acing him in a home full of dogs. Chewy plays hard and this would need to be held in check.
I have not had him around cats yet.
Chewy is a water hound. He ADORES a spraying nozzle and a hose. He knows all his manners and commands- he just needs someone to enforce them with consistency. Then his manners are impeccable, really.
My bad on the pictures – Hailey and I each thought the other was taking them. She tries to post to Facebook regular, but she just got back from a short trip. I will send some pictures when we work him this afternoon.
Chewy is fine- we will work with him as long as necessary. The $20/night is fine.
Thank you!

Hi – you mentioned $20/day but if you feel he is more – then I understand.
Few questions
Have you seen him with cats? Other dogs? Do you have any pictures?
Glad that he is a sweet bully – i know that he has it in him. It’s the people’s fault for not giving him rules to follow!Christina Prange

I did not want you to think that I had forgotten him. Love thta he is talking and not growling. I think that is where he has been failed in two homes – no one reinforced boundaries and he took over. Thank you for seeing that its correctable. Bully – yes, he is a bully and needs someone who does not let him do that.Do you need us to pay you for his time there so far. We can send a check and pay for his time since he’s been with you a bit. I appreciate that you and Hailey are working with him – so appreciated.

Subject: Re: Checking in on HueyHey there Christina! You caught me online….Chewie is a bully, no doubt lol- but he is learning to respect us, yes indeed. He is definitely used to being able to bully people space, and we work on rectifying that with short, simple corrections, and loads of positive reinforcement and praise when he acts properly. Hailey says he has gotten “love bombed” by people, who then get scared when he acts up- and he has been getting away with it for a while….she is right, but we believe it’s correctable. We are a bit short handed here with numerous tasks, but I hope to have some nice pics to share Wednesday or Thursday. Note- what you were calling his growling, we call “talking”. We haven’t heard him actually growl yet. Each day he grows more comfortable and we have to reinforce our bounds daily with him right now. Maybe we’ll hear more of a growl this week. Thank you for checking in!!! I need the reminders lol….

Christina, I just texted our vet, East Cooper Animal Hospital. Dr. Sauls is great, very caring. She would want an initial visit prior to surgery. I also asked about a rescue discount, will let you know.

Hi Chris & Robin – thank you for this positive update! Of course, if it’s not positive – want to hear that too so we can help.It makes me so happy to hear that she is living in a home and enjoying toys. With humans.
Your temperatures sound brutal – similar to what I have up in Raleigh but I don’t live in as beautiful of a town as you all!
It is fine to have the spay at your vet. ARG will call in our credit card and pay for it – we can set that up in advance. Typically we ask for a rescue discount but completely understand if they decline. Can you see when the first appointment is that your vet has for her? And – whatever works best for your schedule too.

Thanks for checking in on us! We are doing pretty well so far.
-Patton took about 2 hours to settle down at home, which was good as an adjustment
-no aggression towards Shiloh at all, but the Princess is unhappy she has competition for attention.
-took out almost every toy in the house, thought for sure our Airedale puppet was real.
-did not eat much, but she is used to the kennel food.
-very sweet tempered
Two issues
– awful on lead walks. Hard pulling, can be aggressive toward others dogs, have to keep her on a very short lead. But she probably has never been extensively lead walked. Needs the exercise, she is probably 6 to 8 lbs too heavy.
-nearly pooped in the house, but she had just gotten here. We will see if it is a pattern, has probably never had this much space.

Hi Tom
I am a volunteer with Airedale Rescue Group and we have a recent applicant from Gulf Breeze. I do not think they have applied to Sunshiners. They are interested in one of our ‘dales, Tucker.We have not interviewed them, just email correspondence that they are very close to Alabama. Would you like us to refer them to you all and start the adoption process through Sunshiners? Do you have any Airedales in need of homes – Tucker needs a home! We would like to think about them for Tucker but need you all to let us know if that would be ok with you. Also would need help with a home visit, if you had anyone in the area. THANK YOU!
