The Redds are a go as far as I can tell. They have a well behaved Airegirl who is charming and happy. Their house is small, but if they can handle 3 dogs in the space, I don’t think dogs care…lol. Their yard is fenced and medium sized. I did not meet his wife, but I assume that she is OK with two Airedales. One of their daughters has left for college, so maybe they feel that another dog is taking her place a little. Greg is very nice and talks logically about the fact that the little yappy ( Gypsy will go over and mother the little one until she stops) dog. The only problem I can see is if the new dog can’t take the noise from the little dog. She calmed down and was fine after about 4 minutes, but she was loud for that time after we came through the door. Greg also says she barks at cats who come into their driveway when she can see them through the windows.
In short, I think that they are definitely dog folks…their house was clean and not smelly, but the dogs are allowed on the furniture and settled on the couches while we were there. I can’t see any down side if you have a dog who can handle the little one’s noise. R.

The way that we’d handle is if it was deemed a good match – and Ellie Mae really wants a dog sibling – then we’d arrange transport to you. If for some reason it did not work out, then we’d ask you to return the dog to us – our closest volunteer is Barbara Yager and she is in Fort Mill. Of course it takes some time to work out kinks but we’d be with you every step of the way.

Christina and Barbara,
Thanks for your patience…we did hear from the poodle rescue. This weekend we drove to SC and picked up our new labradoodle Noah!!
However, please keep my application active…not sure when, but in the near future I still hope to adopt an Airedale. I admire their humor and gusto…I think the breed would “keep me on my toes!” I have enjoyed the story about Beowolf…what a character!
I will keep in touch and again thank you both for everything you do!
Sincerely,
Anna
I think it’s time I make a decision on Toby,, and we would like to adopt
him. 🙂
Not sure what the end result will be with the motion sickness, but for short
rides at least, he now looks forward to them and runs excitedly to the
garage door, jumping up and down, if I ask if he wants to go for a ride. He
has come out of his shell so much, especially in the past couple weeks. He
still is shy of strangers if they reach out to him initially; but he will
approach them slowly if they are patient and then he loses all shyness with
them. Every morning before work I walk the same route, in which we walk
across the street from the driving range; and every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday morning the same group of Crescent guys are out there. Many of the
guys walk across the street and talk to me and play with Toby and Jake. So
now every time Toby sees someone on the golf course, he is sure they want to
“say hi” to him, ha ha. It’s all been very encouraging. The only time he
gets nervous in the crate is if Jake isn’t in the vicinity. Saturday night
we went out for dinner and Jake somehow managed to get himself shut in the
laundry room. Toby’s crate was wet from drool and panting when we got him a
few hours later, but the wires and floor of the crate were still intact 🙂
(I had a checkup with him at the vet last week and all is good – no signs of
worms; they still think he needs another 5 pounds on him, so will continue
to feed 5-6 cups of food a day.)

Spoke to Jill at their vet’s office and she said that she has no record of them being clients of their practice, so I guess they need to be called back to ask what’s up with that??
Thanks
