10/25 asked if Hackett could help with transport on 10/25 to Knoxville. Chattanooga/Cleveland to Knoxville
10/2025 responded to transport request; confirmed they would love to help and ask again for transport. They will be out of town on the date needed. Chattanooga, Ooltewah.
Things are going well so far. We may change her name but are still thinking of a good fit for her. Iona is a very sweet and loving dog. She has been quite energetic but I am not sure if this is her baseline as a 2 year old or if it is stress/anxiety from all the sudden new things from her transition. I think it’s more stress because she seems to be panting non stop. She likes to follow us both around the house everywhere we go. I think she is starting to calm down and she’s becoming more comfortable with her new surroundings. We kept her in a crate with a bed the first night and she liked that. Last night I trialed her with a dog bed free in my bedroom and she did very well.
These look like very viable adoptions, however, I’m not in a position to adopt a dog until January 5 or later.
Keep me in mind, however, if you think there is a good fit for me (non-aggressive, dog, cat and child friendly) that could be fostered until I’m available.
Pat Lanese Home Visit on Thursday Oct 9, 2025
she is fabulous!!Met her sister too.
She is in great health, not that I asked by you could see the good energy.
Lovely home.
Her bedroom is on the first floor and unless there is overnight company, the pup will be on the first floor with her.
The yard is immaculate and as of right now, not fenced in.
She had applied for a fence approval and it will give her about a basketball court size back yard.
She lives right off the walking paths they have all around the Landings just like sea pines but better.
She will be great and ( this sounds funny, but had a kind sounding voice)
She eats purina pro plan 30/20 sport (beef or chicken is fine). She has also eaten purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach salmon in the past (because my poodles are allergic to chicken). She can eat pretty much whatever lol.
I haven’t seen her really show any interest in a dog bed; however, it’s usually taken by someone else and we let the dogs on the furniture and bed lol
We do use a crate for Iona. She is very well crate trained. She can sleep in the crate overnight or she is able to sleep in our room with us. She usually sleeps on the floor.
I wouldn’t let her free roam unsupervised while they’re not home because we have never let her do that and I feel like she would get into trouble lol
Moving to ‘moved on’ but could consider for transport based on Mapleton, Atlanta, Sandy Springs area

To: Pat HairstonHi Pat. I am mostly interested in a dog that is between one and two years old. This one just is too old for me.

Pat,
Unfortunately I have a daughter on drugs. She has a history of this and was in college until last week. She totaled a car and has multiple charges against her. Right now she has left with a man she met on social media. Things are a mess at my house.Please remove my application. I don’t see being able to adopt being anytime soon. I’m so sorry to waste your time.
I am still a member of your Facebook group and I hope you allow me to stay a member of it.
I apologize again. My husband and I are heartbroken.
Sorry,
Tracy Schaberg

So I visited today.
Seemed like a couple that are a good fit for an Airedale.
They have a super nice home with a large yard.
Younger couple without children so that’s a plus.
Seemed to understand what they were going to get with an active terrier.Financially they seem fine and can afford what it takes to groom and medically manage a dog.
They did have me remove my shoes on entry to their house.
I’m not sure how they will deal with a dog indoors but that’s really to only negative I noticed.
