The lamberts have adopted a dale from elsewehere so we can remove them from the list of potential adopters. 

They have a friend who is interested in a dale so I’ve let them know they will need to fill out an application to adopt.

Kim, 

Best wishes and congrats on the new addition to your family! 

Your friend should go to the link below and enter an application to adopt. Once they have done that, one of our volunteers will be in touch with them to schedule a call.

Thank you so much for all the work and care you put into Sammie’s transition. The girls slept during the car ride and Sammie likes exploring her new yard. I’ll keep everyone posted over the next few days…so far so good!

Kristi – 

Thank you so much for your time today to introduce Sammie to Sasha. We can’t tell you how happy we are to know that she is feeling like she is back in a place where she has a friend…an Airedale friend. We are shocked that she was so patient and put on her best behavior for everyone. We truly hope that this is her missing piece and that she is able to get all of the love and attention that makes her feel balanced and loved. 

Attached is a summary of our notes for All About Sammie. Please let us know if there are any additional questions you may have to help get her settled.  

I’ll work to get the Instagram details, microchip, and prior vet papers so you have those for your records. When we all make sure that this works for Sasha and your family, we will make it officially official. 

Please thank your kiddos for being so patient and sharing their time with Harper and Truman. They have talked tonight about how they feel so much better because they know that Sammie will have a friend and a great family to love her. We will send a package next week with a couple of new toys for Sammie. She may even get crazy and share with Sasha.  

Pat and the ARG team… we could not have asked for a better day. Sammie was patient and put her best paws forward. We think that she was missing the companionship of the other dogs, especially Pinkie. We are thankful that you all worked to find a good fit for our sweet girl. We feel lucky to have had her for the last almost two years to help get her ready for where she is today. We have our fingers and toes crossed that she settled in well and this is a balanced and good fit for everyone. 

All the best to everyone. We can’t wait to hear how things go, see more photos, and (hopefully) visit Sammie again when we are in the Charlotte area. 

Cheers to new adventures in 2023!
Mary

Thanks, ladies. 

Kristi and I had a good chat, with her family listening in for lots of the details. 😊 They clearly know the quirks of Airedales and the challenges that can come with acclimating a new dog into the mix. They want to make sure that Sasha and Sammie are both a good fit. I let Kristi know that should they have challenges with Sasha accepting Sammie, we will help by bringing Sammie back to our home. 

We know it takes time to find the right family. We feel strongly about this for everyone and know it is important for Sammie. Sammie is a very good dog and we want her to take on her next adventures with a family that keeps her safe and loved. The great news is that we can help share lots about Sammie so everyone understands her and speaks her language quickly for as easy of a transition as possible. 

We are heading to the vet tomorrow to make sure Sammie is up to speed with all of her vaccinations and testing. We had to skip her last grooming on December 23rd, because of the freezing temps, so we will get the vet to trim her nails. We will get her a shower at home so she is fluffy and smells good. 

We talked with the kids tonight and there were lots of tears, even though we discussed this day would come at some point. We know that loving a pet sometimes means doing things different than what we had planned, but doing what is best for the pet.

Sammie is very loved. We plan to have a few fun days with her to celebrate the great pup that she is and add some more memories to our time with her. 

We will finalize plans and work with Kristi on where and when to meet so we can make the introduction and transition as smooth as possible. 

Thanks to everyone for their work and patience to connect everyone along the way. We (and Sammie!) really appreciate it. 

More updates soon!
Mary

Hi Mary,

I grew up with Airedales and Sasha is my second adoption. We have a large fenced in yard and my kids are begging me to bring one more “terror” into the house 🙂 Honestly, Sammie sounds a lot like Sasha when we first brought her home. I would love to have a call with you. My home number is 704-844-1035 and cell is 704-654-8460. I am off work until 1/3.

Thank you,
Kristi

Thanks, Pat. 

Hi, Kristi. It would be great to connect and talk about Sammie. I can be reached by phone at 770.298.4122 and I am in EST, in North GA. 

I have an eye exam this afternoon, but I am open after that. Let me know what time works best for you. Feel free to text if that is easier. 

I look forward to speaking with you soon. 

Thanks – 
Mary

Hello Mary and Kristi;

Mary- Kristi is an experienced Airedale adopter who adopted Sasha from us in 2016. Sasha is 11 now and going great. Kristi is interested in bringing Sammie into her home. She is a very experienced Airedale person and this would be a fantastic adoption for Sammie. 

We think it is best if you and Kristi connect and talk to see
if Sammie may be a fit for them. 

Kristi meet Mary. Sammie current person. 

Just a reminder that I have a leash reactive Airedale and he lives with 2 other male dogs and 2 females. So it can work. 

Please let us know how your conversation goes. 

Thanks!

Good morning, Teresa and Levi. We will be unable to consider you for adopting an Airedale for the following reasons:
* Your current canines are not altered.
* Your Airedale would spend its time “In a metal dog kennel/pen.” We require that our rescued Airedales be kept as inside pets and that they never be left alone outside in a kennel or pen or fenced yard when no one is home.
* Levi is unable to run after or lift a dog the size of an Airedale.
* You want your Airedale to be a therapy dog or service dog for the disabled. This is highly unlikely unless the Airedale began training as a pup. One of our directors and her husband founded a service-dog agency and have been training service dogs for 20+ years, so we speak from experience. 
* You do not give an estimate of the annual cost of having an Airedale. See https://www.aspcapetinsurance.com/resources/dog-ownership-cost/. 
* You have an electronic fence. Your Airedale might learn to respect an electronic fence; however, if it sees a deer, raccoon, or another critter, it will absolutely breach that fence and get zapped. They would hesitate to come back into the fence when the prey drive is not triggered. 

We appreciate your consideration of a rescued Airedale, but we will not be able to adopt to you.

Hi, Mary. Hope you’re relaxing today with your best pups, Maddie & Mini-Me, and looking forward to escorting 2022 out the door to allow 2023 to come in — only if it’s wearing a mask!

Can you take these folks? They’re looking for a dale to go with their cockapoo and C*T! Tell ’em what’s what.

Thanks,
J

They do sound great!! 

So Sammie is not a fit because of the ‘puppy parties’. We have a surrender app supposed to be sent in tomorrow. It is the brother of Beth Mitchell’s dog that she posted about on the group. We will see.

Yes sir, I have checked in the local area. There are none available. I would be interested in adopting from your state if you have one than is in need of a forever home.
Thank you kindly,
Kimberly Lambert.
