Coming Soon! Sam is a handsome 6-year-old Airedale currently thriving in a professional training program.
Sam will be looking for an Airedale-experienced home that understands structure, consistency, and leadership, and will continue the routines he’s learning now.
If you love the intelligence and spirit that make Airedales so special, stay tuned — Sam may be your guy.
Apply today at http://www.airedalerescuegroup.com and a volunteer will reach out to you about Sam or any of our other ‘dales available for adoption.

5/11/26 talked to Mary and Terry; Blue is not a fit. OB would be if Regan declines him.

From Nina:
Traveler (Travi) is a sweet, energetic 7 year-old Airedale who loves to play fetch and tug, and go on walks. She gets along well with everyone, including kids. She is well-mannered overall, but don’t leave food where she can get to it! She’s known to counter-surf if she smells something yummy. She sits nicely waiting to be fed or for treats, and does well at home alone when you have to go out for a few hours, no anxiety. She doesn’t get into things when left on her own, and does not need to be crated at night. She loves having her own bed, and a dog door so she can go out whenever needed. She enjoys relaxing or sleeping on the back porch in nice weather. She is a confirmed, proven collar and harness escape artist, so an escape-proof harness (2 straps) is an absolute, definite must when taking her out of the house or yard (Rabitgoo is the best, and it does work), but she walks nicely. With other dogs, she does get quite territorial in the house, though she does fine at the dog park. She would be happiest as an only pet. She has no health issues and is in amazing shape for her age. Travi would make anyone a wonderful companion, and she would be especially happy living with a family that has time to play with her and take her for a good walk every day.

Contacted by Nina via email Traveler was not working out. Had Traveler at a friends house while Nina was away and Traveler bit the other dog. So, needs to be an only dog. Plus an escape artist.

Hi Pat,

I really hate to have to write this email, but I think I’m going to have to go ahead and give up Travi. She is still obviously bored, and the escaping is still an issue. But now something happened that has tipped the scales. ☹️

I go out of town regularly, and for nearly 10 years I’ve “exchanged” dogs with Sherry and Mike whenever one of us is out of town. They own Harry, another ARG rescue ‘dale, and he gets along cheerfully with every dog he meets, including my 2 previous ones. I rely on this arrangement because there’s no way I can afford to pay to put my dog in a kennel when I go out of town. They watched Travi a couple of months ago and it went okay, but it was only for 2 days. I just got back last week from a long cruise, and Sherry told me that Travi attacked Harry, pinned him down, and had her teeth around his neck and starting to shake him. No provocation, no real reason Sherry could see. She was terrified. The dogs had to be kept separate for the rest of the time until I got back. Needless to say, they are not comfortable watching Travi in the future.

I just think everything is adding up to tell me I am not a good fit for Travi. Coincidentally, Sherry’s older dad came to visit during that time, and Travi attached herself to him, even sleeping in his room. So I’m thinking she would do better with a couple, where at least one of them has time to spend playing or interacting with her. And she does love her walks in the morning, so that should be a must–with an escape-proof harness. She also seems to love kids, and happily greets them whenever encountered.

This all makes me very sad. She is really a sweet dog and I will miss her. But I just think this would be better for both of us. I’m hoping you have an application from a couple or a family who would be perfect for her.

And I’d love to get another rescue who is maybe a bit more laid back, and who will enjoy being with Harry when I’m out of town.

Thoughts?
Nina

Hello Gary,

We have received 3 applications from you over the course of 3 different years. Each time we have reached out to you, including in 2025 when we attempted to arrange a home visit. Each time we have not received a reply from you.

We appreciate your interest in adopting a rescued Airedale, and you may provide a great home, but we cannot determine that without completing our adoption process. At this time, Airedale Rescue group is closing your application due to a lack of response from you.

Sincerely,

Blue is an 8 yr male Airedale weighing about 75 lbs. he is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Blue was rehomed in 2023 to a lovely couple in GA. Daily walks, home made diet (we have the recipe) and Blue got into prime condition and is living his best life. Blue now faces the need for a new home. His owner lost his wife a few years ago and now is facing final stages of an aggressive cancer.

We have been in touch for several months and now we need to find Blue the best forever home. Blue can be with a female dog of similar size. He loves his daily walks and a fenced yard would be a bonus. Blue is a talker so be ready for him to sing you some blues! Even though he was an only dog where is lives, he came from a home with a female Airedale. I think he missed her. He would probably do well with a female Airedale. He is loving, forgiving, extremely inquisitive, playful. A great watchdog and all around companion. Walks better on lead after 3 years but will still lunge @ wildlife and drag you with him. Socializes well with new people with supervision, especially if they have a dog treat in hand. Sleeps uncaged on the first floor, kitchen, etc. OK to leave for errands, etc. 2-4 hours at a time

without confining to a cage. Well mannered, he will sniff counters but not counter surf as long as you don’t put temptation in his path. I he has a kennel cage but never use it for Blue. Not afraid of storms, thunder, or lightning. When outside, he maintains a habit he came with …eating dirt, mulch, weeds, deer poop which is why he is walked on lead despite a fenced yard (A harness is used because he has a long neck and can generate sudden bursts of tractor pulling power). We walk a 3/8 mile wooded trail 3 times a day, after breakfast, mid day and dinner; pee break before breakfast and before going to bed. He usually poops morning and evening but sometimes only morning. Have fed him fresh home made food for 3 years, keeping him healthy, happy, strong and @ Ideal body weight (see Airedale Chow recipe that ARG has). Loves his groomer and grooming every 6-8 weeks with a bath in between or as needed. Does not care much for vet visits. Not particularly fond of being brushed. Loves resting on your lap and being petted and loves butt scratches!

His owner has graciously made sure all of Blue’s future veterinary needs will be taken care of through ARG. Blue will be ready to move when his person gives ARG the notice he is ready for Blue to move.

Thank you for your response! I have turned it over to my attorney. Thanks for what you guys do. Discriminating and unfair treatment can’t go over looked at this day in time.

Tiffany,

We are a group of volunteers hanging close to 200 applicants a year. When someone does not respond, misses a scheduled time to talk on the phone, texts with our reviewer accepting co forming an appointment and then is a no-show, it presents us with a concern the person is not serious about the application.

We have well documented the attempts to speak with you via telephone and the lack of response on your part. We will apply our limited resources to the people who have serious interest.

Your application is closed.

I am writing to convey my significant disappointment and concern regarding a recent procedural issue pertaining to my application. My clear understanding, based on prior communications, was that any necessary follow-up or contact regarding my application would be conducted via a scheduled phone call. I was therefore surprised to learn that an unannounced, in-person visit was attempted at my residence instead, which was not the stipulated method of contact. This unforeseen divergence from the established communication protocol has, regrettably, led to a delay in the processing of my application, effectively hindering its progression in a manner consistent with other submissions. I must express my profound concern that such an inconsistency in communication and procedure could compromise the fairness and equitable treatment of my application.

Tiffany,

Our reviewer reached out multiple times and did not hear back from you. This included an appointment where she was going to do your interview and home visit. You were not at your apartment.

At this time we have closed your application and consider you not to be a candidate to adopt or foster and Airedale.

Shortly after I sent the email below, I sent a text since you seemed to be eager to move forward and since we’re so close to one another. Since I’d not gotten a reply to the email I sent Sunday, I thought a text would work better. I just assumed you’d seen the text when you replied to the email. Miscommunication all around. : )
