5/31/26 many requests from Donna to adopt. This appears not to be a person/home that can readily care for an Airedale. She has applied to SIAR and ATRA, both told she is DNA.
Time to draft a response that addresses that she will not be considered for an Airedale.

to vjdickson, ARGHello Jim and Mary Lou,
Thank you for submitting application. We are very sorry for your loss of Marley earlier this month.
Sadie is adopted. We do have Rudy, Sam and Izzy all a little older. Rudy and Sam are on our website;
https://www.airedalerescuegroup.com/available-airedalesWe do have Izzy if you might be interested in her. She is in Greensboro NC. Izzy is about 65 pounds and is 5 years old. Her owner had been diagnosed with dementia years earlier and had reached the stage where she needed to move into a care home, leaving her unable to continue caring for Izzy. At the time, there were no suitable placement options available, so her trainer stepped in to ensure Izzy had a safe, stable, and loving transition home. During training, the trainer quickly realized Izzy is a very special dog, but she struggles with settling in and feeling secure in new environments. To the trainer’s knowledge, she has not experienced abuse. However, she was primarily kept as a backyard dog with limited exposure to new places and experiences, which likely contributed to her anxiety and difficulty adjusting. The trainer cannot provide her with a long-term home because she has a cat, and Izzy has a high prey drive. She is spayed and has been on heartworm preventative. Her vaccines may need to be updated, but ARG will pay for that.

to me, JohnHi Pat,
We wanted to write to you and let you know that last month we lost Hampton. We had him exactly 4 years and 2 weeks. His passing hurt us to the core. He was the most affectionate, loving Airedale we have ever had, he was number 6.
As you probably remember, he came to us from the gentleman in Boone who couldn’t care for him any longer. He had terrible skin allergies and the pododermatitis in his paws. We cured the allergies, but never was able to clear up his paws completely. We religiously took him to the dermatologist in South Carolina and tried every treatment possible, but as she said, he was, “the worst of the worst”. The poor guy suffered with those feet. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the paws that caused his passing, they were status quo at the time. Our vet actually felt that he may have had a tumor or mass in his stomach because he declined pretty rapidly.
We are now without a “best friend” and miss him terribly. We are ready to look for another pup, but being “four years older”, we can’t deal with a puppy or a large, high energy Airedale. We are wondering if you ever get smaller Airedale rescues, or maybe even other terriers needing a home. Please keep us in mind when you need to rehome a ‘dale or other terrier.
You may still have our file, but if you need us to complete another application, please let me know. We see on Facebook all the good work you are still doing for ARG.
Thank you,
Maggie and John FinnerinHampton Finnerin

to meGood morning,
I’ve been hit with a dose of reality this morning. I have some serious digestive issues that had calmed down for the last couple of months but came back this morning, probably aggravated by stress. I won’t be getting far from the bathroom for the next day or so.
I’m going to have to pass on Dorothy. I still would love to have an Airedale but my health and age wouldn’t give a young dog the time and attention it would need. I would like to make a donation to ARG for your time and patience you have given me.
My apologies,
DaphneWhat address should I send a check to?

to Ava, me, dvon, ChristinaHi ladies!
I wanted to loop everyone in on the most recent update for our Golden Girls.
As you may know, Dorothy and Sophia had microchips. I called Home Again since they distributed both chips, and some information came back for Sophia’s. We tracked the chip to Crossroads Animal Hospital in Lexington, SC. They were able to tell me that they were originally owned by a breeder, and none of them are spayed. I know we had 2 ladies that were questionable so I’m glad we have confirmation. They had all 4 girls on file and will send over their records once the doctor approves them.
Sophia (aka Martina) is 9 y/o – Confirmed by M/C #
Dorothy (aka Thomasina) is 4 y/o – Confirmed by M/C #
Blanche and Rose are 2 y/o and from the same litter – no microchips.Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche all received heartworm tests today as well as the first boosters of Canine Influenza and Leptospirosis. They will need to be boosted in 3 weeks. If they are with us, we will be sure to take care of it. If not, it will be included in their records for their foster family. Results for the heartworm test will be in tomorrow at the earliest. We also microchipped Rose and Blanche so we will be sure that information is in the records as well as sending home the chip information.
I think that is all of my updates for now but I will continue to keep everyone in the loop!
