to dcsudweeks, meDavid and Emily,
Thank you for your application to adopt Frances. Frances has never been around children; therefore, we do not feel he would be a fit for your family.
We will assign your application to one of our volunteer with the hope we have an older Airedale who has been with children in the future.
Thanks for your understanding.

to meGood Afternoon Pat!
I know you think I dropped off the face of the earth, but alas, I did not. To my embarrassment, I never did figure out how to download this contract for Francis, then I forgot about it. I currently have 67,000 emails back up in my hotmail account. I need to purge them, but I have some emails from my husband who passed away in 2011 buried somewhere in here and I don’t have the heart.About Francis…he is a great dog. He is happy, healthy and playful. The lady that surrendered him to ARG (the owner’s cousin, I think) was doing the best she could in the situation, but she was misinformed about some things. Good things first, he knows his name, he knows sit, paw and most importantly, gentle. If you fail to say “gentle” before handing him a treat you could lose some fingers. He is housetrained. He does not give chase to cats or small dogs. He is an eager eater. The things we’ve been working on…he is a resource guarder, food toys, space he considers his…he growls menacingly at any other animal (cat or dog) that comes within his line of vision and if they don’t move away, he will snap at them. I have never seen his teeth make contact with any other animal at my house. He is so very vocal. He barks every time another animal comes near his kennel at night. All my dogs are kennel trained. Francis can be kenneled with one of my Heelers with no issue except he growls and barks from the moment a food bowl appears. I have never witnessed him fight another dog over food, just man is he vocal.
Here is the part I have failed at. He is a 90 pound dog and I am an old woman. He violently pulls me from the moment I put a leash on him. We have tried several of the no-pull harnesses. The one we had the best luck with the head harness. He was completely compliant for about the first week. Then he figured out that if he just turned into a jackass, turned around his body toward me and dug in his heels and walked backward, I was at his mercy. Three times since October he has pulled me so hard that I have hurt my back. Hurt so badly that I am out of work for days and have to call my daughter to come help me, using a wheelchair at work kind of hurt. I am afraid he’s going to pull me down my steps and I will break a hip and there I will be until someone comes to check on me. I have not tried a prong collar or a shock collar.
Francis needs a younger owner. I need an Airedale that is no more than 50 pounds, loves cats and other dogs and is less enthusiastic about…everything. I’m sorry to even ask, and I feel like I have failed Francis, but I need to request that ARG take back this big, beautiful, lively 8 year old Airedale. I cannot physically handle him.
Sadly,
Joyce7/27/26. Jacob was supposed to pick up Sam on 7/25. He no showed at Lauren’s, trainer, did not call or text. Did not respond to calls or text or messages.

Airedale Rescue is a National Organization that is divided into to regions of the county. ARG covers 5 states: AL, GA, NC, SC and TN.ATRA covers 13 Midwest states and the province of Ontario.
We respect each others regions and generally do not place dogs outside the defined regions and certainly not without agreement from the region an applicant lives in.
Your application is started within the region you live in, it will be completed within this region. If at the time you are approved to adopt, and we do not have a dog that is a match, you could reach out to other regions. We would then share your application, reviewer notes and home visit.
Since you are not ready and have asked ARG to postpone a home visit, the other regions you have applied to will not be followed up on.

to Linda, Team, Diane, Heather, KathyHi Lynn and thank you for connecting. Yes, we have connected/submitted an application with the Airedale Rescue Group and are currently chatting with Ava Smith who is a volunteer with them and has been very helpful. We thought we would apply to all rescue groups we could find to help us find the perfect furfriend.

to daniellecamerata@gmail.com, ARG, Diane, Heather, KathyHi Danielle and Cory!
Thank you for submitting adoption an application for a SOAR rescue Airedale. Have you also contacted your local Georgia Airedale rescue organization? They can assist you in the adoption process and make you aware on any dogs they have available. I have copied The Georgia coordinator on this email. If you have any questions, please contact me any time.
Again, thank you for applying and good luck with your search.

to timnorwood1978, Suzy, me, bcc: Ava, bcc: Mary, bcc: Stephanie, bcc: Christina, bcc: Jo-AnneTim and Suzanne,
Thank you for applying to adopt a rescue Airedale. The application states ” “During working hours (8 to 5) on most days they would be in a large kennel with a doghouse with a roof cover and in an open shady area. The evening we would let them out to run and play. One of us will always be with them when out. Weekend, they would be out with us in the yard or if they like to ride, we would take them riding on a side-by-side. ” The fact that a dog would be left alone during work hours outside with access to a doghouse is an issue for our rescue group because rescues can be escape artists, and we never want our dogs to go to homes where they might be left outside alone for any amount of time to get out and get lost or worse. With their tenacious temperament, they could easily breach that fence, or other animals could get in, and then all sorts of problems could occur.
Many of the dogs we receive have lived in bad circumstances, and we do not want to place a dog back into a situation where it lives outside full-time. Our rescues are intended to be integrated into the family and be a family member. Therefore, your application will not be considered to adopt an Airedale from our rescue group.
