      Hi Kelly, Christina, and Pat,

      We want to thank you all so much for finding and facilitating Tank’s rehoming. Aaron and I were discussing what a well run and clearly caring organization you guys have. We are already in LOVE with Tank! He is just precious. Kind with kids, good with other dogs. Thus far, he seems like a sweet and fairly well adjusted guy with SOME training and boundaries already established. As you previously disclosed, leash training and jumping are going to be our biggest training issue to tackle and we’re working on it.

      Thank you for the heads up, Christina, that he is VERY skinny. We are already transitioning him to a high calorie/high fat formula and will work with the vet to get his weight up. Thank you so much for covering the first vet visit! That’s wonderful. I am eager to get him checked out. We’ll do that this week.

      I just paid his adoption fee through the website and will get the agreement in the mail today.

      Thanks again all and we’ll keep you posted on Tank’s progress as he adjusts… but so far, he seems like a wonderful fit for our family!

      Best,
      Karen

          10.2021 Lattimers who adopted duke, renamed Took, said that he is reactive to other dogs who are medium or bigger dogs. Pulled down both Jennie and Tom at different times. Most recently, in 10.21, Took escaped (not sure if he got out of his collar or he pulled down Tom). Took went after a female dog and pulled TOm down to his knees and face planted him. They are interested in rehoming him. I’m going to ask if they’d be interested in trying medication with him to keep him.

            Subject: Re: FW: ARG Application from Georgie Jones

            Report: I would recommend this family for an Airedale. Georgie has a house that is made for dogs. She has gates all around to keep dogs in the appropriate areas. Their den had a couch and chair with blankets on them presumably for the dogs. That is where they crate the dogs. Her granddaughter, who is a handful, was nonetheless respectful of the dogs space. The only interaction with the cocker spaniel that I witnessed was her slowly approaching the dog, patting her head and giving her a gentle hug. This was a very well behaved, calm 3 year old cocker spaniel. The dog was well groomed with a recent haircut. We discussed the vet we have in common and she uses the vet’s groomer for her grooming needs. I asked her what she thought of “Certifect” and she said she liked it. I may switch. There was no apparent problem with parasites. They have 1.5 acres in a minifarm subdivision that has no other homes built yet. Basically she lives on 150 acres. Her fence is a small dog yard. It is actually pig wire. Not aesthetically pleasing but she says no dog has ever escaped. Georgie worked for McCormick Humane Society and is currently fostering a basset hound mix. I had a student who volunteered there and she knew her well. I couldn’t remember the girl’s last name and she said, “King.” There were 3 bowl of clean water on the premises.
            I am a landlord and make home visits to my prospective tenants. I’m not sure I would rent to these people as the yard and the house were messy, however, there was nothing unsafe or overtly unsanitary about the house. Someone smokes in the house, it smelled of cigarettes, but not like you would choke from it. I did not meet the husband. She said he walks the dogs on the gravel road with a leash. No fear they would be hit as NOONE is out there! I thought I lived in the middle of nowhere!
            Interesting side note: She grew up in the same area of New York I did. I was in Rockland County and she was next door in Orange County. Small world! This was fun!

            Hi Nancy! so great you are near the Jones family.

            Below is their application w/ contact information.

            I spoke to Georgie on 9/5. Clearly a dog lover. Their most recent airedale died just a few weeks ago. She now has a cocker spaniel who she describes as quiet and sweet. I wonder what that is like 🙂
            Their 2 yr old granddaughter lives with them. I could could clearly hear the child in the background the entire time of the call. The shrieking didn’t seem to faze Georgie. She has lived with them since March and they are applying for permanent custody as “her mother does not have her act together.” Their daughters are 3 hours away, sounds like they do visit, not sure how often.

            All in all, a very caring nice person with a big heart. I look forward to hearing your impressions.

                Jasper was wonderful. A really sweet, sweet gentle dog! If I didn’t already have two Airedales, I would have had trouble giving him to the next stop. He was truly delightful.

                Sorry for the delay: There was an accident on I24, that had us stopped or going 5mph for about 4.5 miles. Then the expected slow up around Moccasin Bend which didn’t cost too much time.

                Jasper has more toys and paraphernalia than a 3 year old person by far. It filled up my trunk and then some. He has truly been well loved and his personality shows it.

                Jasper has a little problem getting into a vehicle with high seats. You will have to boost him up. I had to and I have a sedan, so SUV’s will surely require a boost.

                He was given water and a pee break at both ends of my leg.

                Best of luck to you Jasper!

                  Hello Michele, Laura, Rita, Jill & Doug, Terry & Dennis,
                  Please let me know if you receive this and if there are any corrections to phone numbers!

                  Thank you for helping to transport Jasper tomorrow from Smyrna to Highlands! Jasper comes from a very loving home, and we know he will do well in his new family. Jasper is a good car rider and of course, the regular safety rules apply (below) but one thing that is important for Jasper – he can not have any treats/food besides the one that his owner sends with him because he has allergies and on a limited ingredient diet.

                  Safe Travels tomorrow. I will be available for any questions. 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 Jasper when opening car doors, transferring him from person to person, always making sure a hand is on the leash. Unless necessary, remain in car with A/C 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 him off leash at any time 😊
                  Do not feel the need to walk Jasper outside if you arrive early. Sitting in the car in the A/C will be fine for him. (IF you have a water bowl, please bring it so he can take a water sip between cars to keep him hydrated). NO TREATS except his own.
                  PLEASE USE YOUR CHILD LOCKS so that Jasper cannot accidentally open a window or door! (It has happened!)

                  Smyrna to Highlands, NC

                          Heather said its been at least 3 years since she has seen Jasper.
                          she worked a lot with him when he was a puppy
                          She did private; She did some day training
                          Owner could not keep up with exercise for Airedale Terrier
                          – Trainer taught him to walk on a treadmill
                          Trainer said that owner does not understand dog behavior at all
                          she had the wackiest reasons of why she does things
                          Trainer said when she was with him – nice dog, energetic, required exercise, good with dogs, hyper
                          Michelle bought him as a puppy. (trainer does not know breeder but recommended that we ask)
                          Trainer thinks in a d ifferent situation, he will be fine.
                          Used to walk well on a leash, walked on a tread mill, listened to commands
                          Went to a day care so she thinks get gets along with other dogs
                          Separation anxiety – she did not think the S.A. was like the dogs was hurting himself but he needs consistency, exercise

                              Hi there-this is Joanne and Karl Kinscherf. I’m sure Christine notifyed all that we lost our sweet Lucy this summer to cancer. We aren’t ready to adopt again yet but if an older dale(bout 6 or older) comes to you around springtime we might be interested in adopting. If you can keep us in mind we would appreciate it. Thanks Joanne

                                Jesse and I had a baby a year and half ago. Ever since then Daisy has been very distant. She use to cuddle with us and want to be around us but now she mostly lays alone and goes to her bed at night instead of cuddling. This is sad but not the problem. In this same period of time she has attacked our Welsh Terrier (Duggy) three times. Each time when my teenage son was present. He had to scream bad throw furniture between them to break them up as Daisy just won’t stop. The 2nd time Daisy caused Duggy to be at the vet over night a huge scar on his neck. Daisy attached Duggy again today. It seems to happen when her pray reflect is going. So a ground hog or cat has been the same hat has prompted the attacks. But we just cannot have dog fights in our home with a small toddler. Not to mention Daisy just does not like the toddler although she has never done anything but growl at the toddler. I have not called a trainer because I don’t know if they can do anything for a reflex issue. We just don’t know what to do about this. We are strongly considering giving Daisy back to ARG which breaks my heart, but we are open to other ideas.

                                I responded:
                                Hi Katlin, Have you talked to your vet about medications for Daisy? Does Daisy have any health issues – sometimes thyroid or something else can cause a change in behavior. I talked to Pat Hairson who does ARG volunteer with me. (Jackie is out on medical). Pat said her Airedale started distancing herself when she started to have heart issues. An airhorn would be helpful to startle the two dogs if an incident starts, also watching for body language such as staring eye to eye at Duggy. I understand your concern with a toddler in the house and safety. I fear the same issues would be the same in another home for Daisy though. Those are my thoughts – I would discuss the medical concerns with your veterinarian as the first option so you can keep Daisy.

                                  On Sunday 9/5/21 I asked Hollie if she would foster/adopt Propane who had failed at Leah’s home. Hollie responded yes and she and her boyfriend drove to Cumming, GA and picked up Propane, now Murphy from Leah.

                                  Murphy is doing well at Hollie’s. Hollie said she works from home so she will be able to train Murphy for house training.

                                  Murphy needs neuter – ready for contract
