        to me

        Hello,

        My name is Tim Hartney and I recently retired from an airline and now have the time to hopefully assist with rescuing Airedales. I live near Morganton NC and have had several Airedales over the years but none recently due to a busy traveling schedule. Now that I’m retired, I won’t be traveling much, so having a doggie around the house will be possible.

        Presently, my house lacks a fenced yard. I plan to install one this spring or summer so I doubt I would qualify for fostering or adoption until then, but I may be able to help with transporting adopted dogs to their forever homes in the meantime. My main question is: Are kennels required for transporting? My current vehicle is a 2 door Civic which is not big enough to contain an Airedale sized kennel, but if use of a kennel isn’t required, there is definitely enough room for an good sized dog and I would love to help in getting a dog where they need to go.

        Once the fence is installed, I plan on putting in an official adoption application.

        Anyway, here’s my contact information; Tim Hartney, 8310 Wards Gap Rd, Connelly Springs NC, 28612. Cell: 217-549-2708

        Have a great day!

        Tim

            Oh my goodness, he is adorable! And it would be absolutely perfect to have a smaller companion for Willow. We have a Halo electronic fence, which works beautifully for Willow, my female. If you all think that he is trainable on an invisible fence, I’d love to have him!

            Hi Laura, I am a volunteer with Airedale Rescue Group (ARG) and I am happy that you met Ellen this weekend! You are an approved Airedale home for ARG! When I looked at your application I wanted to write to you because I also had a Gerardo ‘dale! I lived in Raleigh area and I knew Gerardo for years and I was so fortunate to have a male ‘dale of his who was the very best! Such a sweet, easy guy – and so handsome.

            ARG has a very small Airedale or Welsh ‘dale that came into our care last week. He is in Greer, SC. He was found chasing cars on the highway. It’s been 1 week+ and not a soul has come forward for him. ARG has vetted him for initial vaccines and the vet estimated him to be about 1 year old. Here’s the thing – he is 28 lbs! SO, clearly he is a small ‘dale or a Welsh. He has fostered with one of our nearby families who kept him safe while we held him for the stray hold. He plays so nicely with their female ‘dale – lots of playing and chasing.

            The problem is their fence is built for a standard ‘dale and the little guy escapes. Maybe that is how/why he became a stray to begin with! They cannot keep him safe any longer due to the escapes.

            He would do best in a home with more secure fence and/or leash walker.

            Would you be interested in adopting a small ‘dale? Are you all ready? If you are not quite ready or really want a full sized ‘dale – I get that too. Please let me know thanks!

                  Bailey- TN female.

                  I talked to Melisa and she will have the vet call me. This girl has a long road ahead of her.
                  She has an injured toe and is on antibiotics
                  Lyme and Ehrlichia positive; started on 30 days of doxycycline
                  HW positive
                  Intact
                  10-15 lbs underweight

                  I asked for a copy of vet records and estimate for her treatment. She will be treated for Lyme, ehrlichia and HW before spaying.

                  Melisa will send more photos. No one has come forward and I hope to God no one does!!

                  Melisa will plan to take her home on Thursday to foster her.

                      1/28/25: Update from Melisa per vet. HW neg, loaded with ticks, vaccines updated and dewormed, on probiotics and antibiotics, toe injured. Bathed but not groomed.

                      Melisa will confirm if she can take her home and will have a friend help with intro.

                        to me

                        hi Pat
                        Sean and I spoke this morning. He visited Dogma on Saturday. Sean said he did not think it would be a good fit for a few reasons. First, he said that Nash did not take to him at all – he seems really receptive to women but paid no attention to Sean. Sean said that there are likely other reasons for this – the environment, who Nash knows at the boarding facility and his overall expectation of how his own dog reacted to him.

                        He mentioned that his stool was covered in blood – that must have been why you received an ask to authorize a vet to see Nash.

                        Sean said that Nash is severely over weight.
                        He has some type of scar (?) that looks like he had a recent surgery on his neck.

                        He said that Nash is very reactive – he observed this when walking him at Dogma. He asked staff how is he when he is alone and they said he barks.

                        Sean said that in his condo – it would not work for the barking and also he said a lot of elderly people live in his condo complex with little dogs and he thinks it would cause problems.

                          I am responding from my phone and not looking at my notes. I remember your work hours on a weekday start mid morning. Are you free to catch up on Monday morning before your work starts ? I look forward to talking to you.

                          Thank you for the email. Yes, I met yesterday morning. It may be better if I give you a call. Is there a time that works for you?

                          Suzanne,

                          We have a potential adopter who would like to meet Nash. He is a former Airedale owner who has been approved for adoption through ARG.

                          Sean Treadway is the person. He is available between 4 and 7 p.m., if that is possible. If not, perhaps he can call to arrange a time that would work.

                          Sean – Nash is at Dogma Dog Care, 4790 Wright Drive, Smyrna, GA 30082
                          770-436-4346

                          Thank you!

                            Hi Ms Pat
                            Nash had blood in his stool today. Do you want him to go to see a vet?

                            1/27/25: Talked with Suzane at Dogma and they started Nash on metronizidole 500 mg AM?PM for 7 days. Stool better today.

                            Also, authorized purchase of Heartard to begin monthly presentation.

                              Hello, Peter. I will be the one to do your home visit. I want to schedule a time when everyone is home. Since you have teenage daughters, Saturday or Sunday might be the best time, unless they are home-schooled. I live in Midtown Memphis and would prefer not to drive to Collierville after school hours.

                              Let me know a good time for you and your family and I’ll try to accommodate you.

                              I look forward to meeting you and your family.

                                From Susan C: Good Evening,
                                I just spoke with Peter and he sounds like a great potential owner.

                                Pat, if we can go over the website again, i’ll put in the notes. He does have a cat and a frequent visiting Chihuahua so those things would need to be taken in to account but otherwise it seems like he would provide a great situation for a dale.

                                Jackie, if you are going to do a home visit, the beat way to make initial contact is by text.

                                  1/25/25: Bailey is estimated to be 4-5 yrs old, had puppies recently, on the run for ‘some time’, evidence of tick bites, will do bloodwork, give vaccines, hw test 4dx, groom and board.

                                  Melisa will take her home and foster if she does well with Sophia. She may consider adopting.
