Subject: RE: Airedale Rescue Help on 11/14
Christina,
I have never fostered a dog before. So what is involved? I guess that I would go get the dog from Cartersville and bring it to my home in Marietta. (My home has a wonderful fenced-in back yard that Trapper loved. So that part would work.) I am guessing that I would be fostering the dog until we could find a forever home for it. And that could be a week, a month, or several months. Is that about right?
I live alone, the home is pretty dog-proof, the yard is perfect for a Terrier, the house has a doggie-door, I love Airedales. So all of that is good. I am going out of town next weekend Friday to Tuesday (I am home this weekend). So I would need my son to come over to take care of the dog. He is 28. In October, I am going on a cruise for 12 days, so again, I would need my son to step up. My 22 year-old daughter, who attends UGA, would be thrilled to help out on weekends, I bet. She has been begging me to get another doggie.
Hmm. In November, my lady friend will be moving in for the winter (she lives in Michigan during the warmer weather) and will be bringing her Chow Chow. I can control him well, but I think by November we would need to have placed the foster Airedale in its forever home to avoid a possible clash between the ‘dale and a Chow.
Let me check with my adult children to see if they will help out. If so, maybe I could do this for you. Given my schedule, I might not be the perfect foster parent at this moment. But I have lots of experience with Terriers and have a great physical situation for a foster Airedale. Let’s both think about this and perhaps we can talk by phone later today.
with best regards,

Christina,
Keep me in mind for possible adoption of an Airedale or Welsh. I have now lost both my wife of 35 years and my Wire Fox Terrier of 16 years. I haven’t decided for sure to get another dog, but if I do, I prefer a ‘dale or a Welsh.
with best regards,
Art Gardner
9/2017 reached out to Molly for transport help of Daisy. Molly responded back to us! She could help on Sunday but not Saturday. I replied that it was great to hear from her and that we were needing Saturday due to vet clinic hours. She has moved to zip code 30328. That is Sandy Springs area.
I asked Donalie if she’d be willing to help in North Myrtle if we had an Airedale need for transport or home visit and she responded “probably not”
9-2017 I asked Rita for transport help of Daisy going to Milton, GA. Chattanooga to Knoxville
Rita helping with Daisy transport to Atlanta

Hello, Christina!
It was so nice to hear from you.! I have been meaning to reply to your sweet e-mail ever since you wrote but time has gotten away from me.
Thank you for including us in the ‘Dale walk but we will not be able to attend. I know everyone will have a good time! What a nice idea!
Lucy is doing well. She is now eight years old and we’ve had her for seven. She is a sweet girl but can be a handful. She has a dominant personality and can be snappy if things don’t go her way so with six other dogs that can sometimes result in fireworks but we manage.
Thank you for all that you do to help rescue these precious souls and find them good, forever homes!
