Hello Casey,

I am sorry this situation has happened.

Since it has been several years, could you please complete the surrender form, provide current vet records and a few photos of Gus.

In the meantime, please separate him as much as possible.

From Casey Griswold 2/19/24

Hi,

We adopted “Beau” through this group 3 years ago. We now call him Gus. He was a companion for our elderly uncle we take care of. About 6 months ago Don (our uncle) had a health setback and we ended up taking Gus in with us full time. He has been food aggressive but we’ve been careful. This past weekend he bit my 4 year old. There wasn’t food around but happened in the kitchen so maybe he thought there was. At this point we feel we need to try and find him another home where there are not children. Do you all know of anyone that would be interested? Please let me know. I’m beyond sad that we need to find Gus a home, but think it’s the best thing.

So – Bonnie and John got him on 6/29/23.

On 7/4 she noted he was favoring his leg “
Geno is doing great. For as skittish as he is I am Surprised that the Thunder,or fireworks doesn’t faze him. He walks great on leash and rides beautifully in the car which were important for him and us so he can go with us as much as possible. He seems to favor his back left leg a little so we made an appointment for next week for a full physical. He is such a darling, once he gets totally comfortable with us and his new surroundings I think he’ll be a very happy pleasant Airedale. I can tell by his personality that he has not been mistreated but He has been neglected. We’ll make sure he gets all the care he needs.

On 10/30 “
Hi Pat, I have a question for you. Geno has favored his back left leg since day one. At his initial vet check, she said it seemed fine just a little stiff. Today he limping pretty good on it for no reason. My question is: Would it be worth it to reach out to JoAnn the previous owner and ask if he has ever had an injury so we can maybe get a little back history? We will be taking him back to the vet in a few weeks for a more in depth look at it. However it would be nice if we could get a little history to help. Maybe you think it better not to reach out to her. could you reach out and ask or send me her contact info. He is doing very well. He has his evaluation for training Nov 8th. Poor baby has had zero training. He is super sweet but afraid of everything. Thanks for your time Bonnie”

I did check his surrender and there is nothing about an injury. So, perhaps we need to consider 75% of surgical costs since they made us aware early on.

I can alway ask NAR for help, but not the full amount.

Hi Pat,

Geno finally had his surgery yesterday. All went well, he was a good patient.

He is home today, cone of shame and all. The nurses commented how smart he is.

He has 12 weeks of rehab now, very restricted for the next 2 weeks and then slow progression in length and amount of walks.

I am attaching the final paid bill. Let me know how you want to proceed and what you need from us.

Thank you

Home Evaluation for David Coven

Long story short – David is an excellent candidate for an Airedale. He has a LOT of experience with dogs, loves his dogs deeply and cares for them like family. I would leave my dogs with him in a heartbeat.

He lives in a semi rural area and has a good setup for dogs both in and out of the house. The backyard is fenced but in conversation with him, I realized he isn’t someone who would leave a dog out in a fenced yard by itself. He will be very involved with any animal he owns. David’s home is beautiful and there is evidence of his love for his dogs everywhere you look. He is a retired art director and while he has only been in Asheville since 2022, he has totally renovated his home and filled it with artwork (his and others).

He has relationships with his neighbors and their pets. We talked about how amazed we were that people would just let their dogs out without any worry about where they were and he told me about a neighborhood dog who has a neglectful owner. Lulu (the dog) visits him daily, comes in and he feeds her when she isn’t being fed at home. He has tried to get the owner to surrender her but she won’t. That said, the owner doesn’t mind that the dog comes to visit David and that David is helping provide care to her dog.

David is calm, quiet spoken, funny and clearly intelligent. He has had many dogs in his life and realizes he needs another dog. I was so comfortable with him that I invited him over to meet Bob and our dogs and imagine we will see more of him (we have lots in common).

I’m happy to answer any questions you have that I might have missed on the evaluation form – but my recommendation is that he is moved to the top of the list for a dog that needs a great home.

I told him I would ask what the next steps are and get back to him. I hope you have a dale looking to land in paradise cause this could be it!

Hello Susan and David,
My name is Christina and I am a volunteer with Mary in Airedale Rescue Group. I would like to introduce you two for the next step in our application process, the home visit. Susan is a long time Airedale owner, ARG friend, ARG adopter, ARG volunteer – and she lives in the Asheville area and will be the volunteer who you meet for the home visit.

Susan and David, please determine a time between the two of you which is good for a home visit. Understanding that your area has had recent snow, ice and cold – please do this when it makes sense for safety. I imagine you all are hunkered down and not going anywhere right now.

Happy Sunday, stay warm!

Good morning Christina!

It was a pleasure to meet Michelle and her husband yesterday, they told us all about how they could tell how sweet and special Sam is from their trip together. He was great on the drive until the last 15 minutes when he decided he had enough of the backseat and wanted to be up front in Abigail’s lap 😂

He seems to be adjusting well so far, we’ve been on some long walks around the neighborhood and to Forsyth Park this morning for him to sniff and explore. It’s clear he isn’t used to traffic because passing cars startle him and he perks up at all the sounds outside on our street. But he is so smart and confident that he will be a local Savannah pup in no time!

As far as the name goes l, we picked out a new name the first time we saw his picture – Teddy 😇

Thanks again for all your help and we will keep in touch about his progress and planning a meetup one day!

Hi John and Maggie.

Happy New Year! And, thanks so much for your patience on this.

I will be mailing a check to you from Airedale Rescue Group for $2600 to help with the costs of Hampton’s care from 2023. Moving forward if you can send me paid invoices on a monthly basis, I can send a reimbursement check each month. That way ARG will have support from National on a monthly basic going forward.

Thanks for loving Hampton and taking such good care of him.

Jackie-

Good point. The last we reimbursed was Sept 2022. This is prior to the invoices Maggie sent. It was for $2383.

I will tell them we will reimburse $2600. Then I will ask for copies monthly so we can reimburse as we go and not have a big amount at one time.

Thanks for all your input.

Hi,Pat. Does that total for 2022-23 include what you’ve already paid them? I don’t remember exactly how much but it seems it was over $2k. I am fine with your offer either way.

If I offer $2687 and NAR reimburses the $687, then we are still at a net of $2000.
That would put them about $1000 in between late 2022-2023.

Moving forward, NAR will help with his medical expenses.

I think they will be thankful for any assistance we can give.

Hi Jackie and Christina,

I finally went through the bills for Hampton that Maggie sent. From 2022-2023, the medical costs have totaled $3809.79! Wow. I feel so sorry for the Finnerin’s.

How much of this does ARG want/can support for the Finnerin’s? [checking/savings total is $36656]

I do not feel right asking NAR for the total support. I feel ok with asking for the 4th quarter of 2023 which would be $687.

Please let me know your thoughts and approval amount.

Grateful,
