Subject: RE: Blue
Hi Christina,
It breaks my heart to do this but I know it is best for Blue. I filled out the form and attached it. There is so much more I can tell the new owners. He definitely needs lots of attention and a fenced yard with lots of playtime and someone to walk and run with every day. He is a good boy but still needs some training. Our trainer says he still has some stress from his past that comes out sometimes as barking and aggressive behavior toward trucks, loud motorcycles, and sometimes other dogs. But, he plays with the neighbor dogs and is sweet with our little dog. I do not think a shock collar should be used on him. He is too smart. We did teach him to the invisible fence and that worked well most of the time.
Please find him a loving family.
Thank You,
Mike Elliott

Hi Barbara,
Mike and I have had Blue for over a year now. He was two years old when we got him. He was not housetrained, never groomed nor had any social skills. We have worked and worked and he is now very good in the house, sleeps in our room, plays pretty well with our smaller dog. He is trained to walk on the leash and does well most of the time unless he sees another dog or trucks with trailers. We tell him to sit or lie down and that works most of the time. Other times it is all I can do to hold him and sometimes I can’t. The trainer says he needs to play and tug with us to relieve his stress and he needs lots of exercise. He also jumps on people who come to the door. He is big and strong and can hurt you without meaning too. We have been working on sit and down and he is doing better.
Mike and I both have bad knees. We are in our sixties. . It is hard to walk him and exercise him enough. We have been thinking that he needs a new home. He needs a younger family with maybe ten year old children and up. He needs someone to run and play with him. We just cannot do it.
We have two new grandbaby girls on the way. Our children are worried he will be too much around the babies. So we will need to kennel him each time they visit. He seems to like children but I think they should be older.
Do you know anyone looking for a dog like Blue. He is beautiful and so loving. But he is strong and mouthy and sometimes a little out of control. He will run too, so they will need a fenced yard. Even a couple with no children would be good if they can run with him and give him a lot of attention.
This kills us to do this but we think it is the right thing to do. We sure hope you can help us place him in a loving situation.
Thanks,
Carole and Mike Elliott

Subject: Finnegan Transport Lawrenceville to Stem, NC June 15, 2013
Hello
Thank you all for helping to get Finnegan transported to his new home. ARG appreciates your time and effort to help us get Finnegan from Lawrenceville to Stem.
Finnegan is a good 1 year old Airedale boy. As you know, it’s hard to be perfect when you’re a 1 y.o. Airedale boy. Overall, Finnegan should be an excellent car rider however a few things to keep in mind. He is a chewer. He is not going to chew your seats…..but if you left something easy for him to chew on, he might. He LOVES food so try not to eat in the car with him while transporting as I think he would end up in your lap:).
When stopping to transfer him to the next driver, please do so with caution. He is with people he does not know and anything normal could startle him. Always keep a firm hand on his leash. When opening the car door, ensure that you have your hand securely in the leash. Be aware of cars in the parking lot..
Thank you again for spending a part of your Saturday to help us out. Call me if you have any questions. I will be out of cell phone reach until about 9:30. I will leave Barbara Lawson as a back up and her contact is 518-208-4047
