8/5/24″ Pat talked to Haley.She does not know the dogs names. Both males intact. Dogs are not vaccinated nor have they been treated for HW/FLea. Live outside. Her father cannot care for them. They are being fed.
Plan is for Haley to get vaccinated and dogs to board at Pet Pawlor in Madison AL. ARG to pay for vaccines, ARG to pay for boarding.

Hi. We never scheduled an HV. We would have liked to but we had some things come up unexpectedly and will need to hold off until November in hopes of rescuing a dog.Thank you. Geoff and Candace Kensinger

Good morning Pat,
Thank you for reaching out. By puppy, I really just mean an airdale on the younger side. We would be happy with one that is two, three, four years old. And although I don’t think it was mentioned anywhere on the application, we are also amenable to a mixed dale.
Yes, please proceed with the application, and let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks again!

Hello Kristy,
Thank you for applying to Airedale Rescue Group. Before I assign a reviewer I see you are seeking a puppy. It is rare when the rescue receives puppies. The last litter of pups we took in was in 2021. We sometimes get pups between 5 months to a year but that too does not always occur.
If you have your heart set on a puppy, then I suggest you research breeders to see if anyone has a litter or one upcoming.
Please let me know if you would like us to proceed.
Grateful,
Pat Hairston

Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/airedalerescuegroup/7/31/24 from Susan:
They have a fenced yard and are “dog people”. They have had numerous dogs in the past but are currently dogless. They would prefer a young to middle aged dog and are willing to put the work in for a dog that has a rescue background. They do not care about the sex of the dog. I spoke with both of them and they are excited to get a new fur baby. I did get a good feeling from them.
Move forward with HV.

to me, ChristinaHi Pat,
Dorothy has been here one month now. No meds for last three weeks so feel I am seeing the real girl. I find her to be a pretty typical Airedale on the higher drive side. Much of the things that I suspect have made her a challenging dog , I can say are the same things that make my 20 month old male Airedale challenging as well.
And in the case of my fella Burl I was looking for a puppy that tended toward higher .
Dorthy is quite bold , independent, and very food and toy motivated . She does readily get over-aroused when she is confined by crate, pen or tight leash in the presence of other dogs . But it is out of frustration at wanting to get to the dog. The transitional leash (now called Heather’s Hero’s Side Kick) works very well to keep her out of that over-excited state of mind when on leash or entering a pen with an adjoining dog. Once the excitement of entering or exciting is addressed she is perfectly calm with the other dogs.
Her mouthiness has improved with showing her she only gets treats or touch when she moves away from your hand. Also lots of calm massaging touch and conditioning to handling all parts of her body has reduced the habit of grabbing your hands with her mouth.
I have worked on teaching her the game of fetch which she loves and she very much needs an interactive game to direct her energy and learn to engage with a person .
Also working on “out” command to teach a little respect with that mouth such that fetch or tug are safe.
Grooming – Dorothy has become pretty good about being brushed and generally enjoys the handling. However I tried to give her a haircut and she definitely does not like the clippers and snaps and bites at the clippers . I could get her body done but not face and ears . However I think with some regular exposure using lots of treats , she will adapt to the sound of the clippers around her head.
Her nails are a different story . They are horribly grown out such that they impact her posture . Even using a muzzle will be too stressful for both me and Dorothy. I have to board the dogs August 8,9 and 10 as Bruce is having surgery in Charleston. They will be boarded at my vet and they are going to sedate her and clip her nails. As they are so grown out it will probably take several visits to work the quick back to a normal place.
Additionally the sedative maybe a good thing while she is boarding as she will be stressed and over-aroused about confinement with so many new dogs in close proximity. Hopefully she won’t regress too much from all the progress made to date.In general she is a great, high-energy dog. She is happy to walk for miles and loves to explore. She is very smart and readily learns and patterns new behaviors. So best to show Dorothy all the things you want her to do or she will find her own entertainment such as digging, barking, and lunging . I would say she needs a very active home and lifestyle that includes a dog (not long days of confinement with minimal stimulation). She is best suited to a home with no small children or cats/critters. And I suspect in most circumstances she is best as an only dog. She can be fine with a dog that matches her tough, rough style but would that require someone that is very savvy in managing dogs to keep over-arousal from flipping to fight.
Hope her special person is out there. She is a sweet , fun girl!

to Barbara, mehi – I wanted to let you know that I saw on Karen William’s FB that she may have passed away so I DM’d the person who mentioned it and that person responded to me to say that she passed away on July 11 and she had liver cancer. I asked about her Airedale – she had a young one. The person said that she gave her airedale to a friend.
Bay – Harry, who she had from us, had passed away in the past few years.
At one point, she had posted to various Airedale FB sites that she was looking for someone to drive her to get her new puppy and she got a puppy. No idea where she got it or who she gave it to

to Jackie, Mary, Kelly, me, ChristinaHey all, I received a text from them last night after I sent this email to ya’ll. They have decided it’s too soon after losing their other dog to cancer, just a week ago, to get another right now. I think it was a good decision for them right now. I will follow up in a few weeks unless they let me know they want to proceed with the process. Since they want a puppy or dog under one year old, it might be awhile, anyways.

Shannon Wheeler
I reached out to Shannon again to see if the timing was better for moving forward with an adoption/fostering. Although she told me they ‘would love to,” she said that she has “a tentative job offer in Fayetteville. It’s a great opportunity to get back in the federal government.”
I wished her good luck and told her to just let us know when the timing is right and we can move forward.
