The Brockton’s lost Charlie on 12/27/24. Moved to waiting for spare Dale, but they may not be ready when we contact them.
1/11/25: posted by Caryn Brockton
It’s taken me some time to be able to post that our Charlie (the II) crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the early morning hours of his 11th birthday, December 27th. He waited until one of his favorite people, my youngest son, was home from college and he celebrated Christmas as always in the middle of everything. He was dearly loved and is greatly missed. Home seems empty and our hearts are broken, but we are extremely grateful this sweet boy was part of our family. He was our 4th ADT and our 2nd senior rescue and there are no words to explain how special these family members are. We know another Airedale will be part of our family eventually; no other breed would ever do. But right now we are grieving our boy and I am in tears again.😢💔

1/3/25 from Robin Crawford at Dogma:
Hi Pat,
This is Robin from Dogma. I have Suzi my Gm on this text. We are transporting dogs to our rescue vet Dr Ware on Monday. Suzi will call them and let them know to expect Nash for a check up, updated shots and HW treatment. Additionally we will have our groomer work on him. We will give you updates as they become available.
Dr Wares husband manages the practice and can be reached at 404-293-37231/2/25: Michele Lowe is between Dalton and Symrna and may be able to pick him up after 3:30 and get to Dogma.
Posted on FB and Diane Nix can pick him up Friday. Don’t know if she can foster.
They are both getting over Covid.
12/28/24 Prior ATRA adopted. Knows Gun Penhoat.
To Gun: Hi Gun-Dirk Roskam sent a note about adopting Charlie from us. He said he lived in MI and worked with you for his last 2 Airedales. I did ask him to complete our application so we could expedite a review.
Thanks for any info on him.
Hope all is well. Happy New Year!
PatFrom Gun: Good morning Pat 😊 Dirk is a SUPER adopter! He is a business/tax lawyer and I think he teaches at Clemson, SC, nowadays. He was our tax attorney for several years here in Michigan. You can find him on FB under his name. He grew up with Welsh and Airedales. – Let me know how things go! – All the best for the New Year!
To Gun: Good Morning Gun- thanks much. He headed out on vacation so I will check when he is back. I don’t think we need to do a full review with your support of “super adopter”. That will expedite approval and we can get a Dale placed with him. Thanks much!! Pat
From Gun: Dirk sent me pictures – he still has Arie ‘the wild child’ who is now 11 years old. I remember picking up Arie who was only about 6 – 7 months old and the terror of the mobile home where he lived. He was the runt of a local backyard litter and arrived non-socialized but full of energy 😊 It’s wonderful to see him now as dignified gentleman! We placed our first ATRA Rescue with Dirk – LeBear was also a puppy ruffian when he came into Rescue from southern MI. He had been running wild to survive while the rest of the litter starved to death under a mobile home. Animal control picked him up and we had to ‘adopt’ him out of the sheriff’s office as they didn’t trust Rescue organisations. Dirk had big medical expenses for LeBear very soon as LeBear had something wrong with his spine. After surgery LeBear used wheels but with rehabilitation he was eventually able to use his back legs again. He never regained full control of his bowels so Dirk always had cleaning supplies on hand in his office. LeBear had his own ‘executive’ leather chair in Dirk’s office and he travelled by air first class with Dirk as he often went to see his parents in Florida.
Considering this input, I recommend skipping review and approve this adopter. Give him choice of Chance or Spark.

Hello – Morgan will be heading to his new family on Thursday. We are beyond grateful to Lee and Michelle who have fostered Morgan since before Thanksgiving and given him love, care, attention to make him such a great dog. Thank you all for your help to get Morgan to his new family!!! He is very loved and moving to a home where he is going to continue to be loved!
Morgan will not be fed in the morning and he will take a pill to help him with car sickness. However, you may want to put a tarp & blanket down in your car., depending on use of crate or sitting in the backseat. (We have transported the TN9 puppies both ways – mostly with crate but last weekend our Female ‘dale went from Fort Mill to Northern VA in backseat, most of the way).
Safety: please ensure that you are aware of Morgan when opening car doors, transferring her from person to person, always making sure a hand is on the leash. Unless necessary, remain in car until transport transfer occurs; when opening car doors, ensure that the leash is secured by hand on the leash; when allowing potty breaks – ensure that collar/leash(s) are tight for no escape; be aware of surroundings – even a plastic bag in the wind may spook a dog in unfamiliar settings. Do not let him off leash at any time. Double Leashing is preferred if you have a slip lead to bring along for your leg of the trip.Do not feel the need to walk Morgan outside if you arrive early. Sitting in the car will be fine for him. (If you have a water bowl, please bring it so he can take a water sip between cars to keep him hydrated). Staying in the car is safest and less risk for escape. PLEASE USE YOUR CHILD LOCKS so that Morgan cannot accidentally open a window or door! (It has happened! Airedales are very smart!)
