Good Morning All,

I cannot Thank each and every one of you for helping to transport Babe. And to you Christina and Pat and Linda for making this all happen.

Just heartbreaking – her world is so turned upside down. Dash and I can’t wait to make her feel comfortable and loved. I will get her groomed up as soon as she will allow. Love this girl already.

Safe journey Babe, safe travels Linda, Brian, Lenore, and Alison. Lisa, Thanks for keeping her overnight and hope she finds comfort in Greta’dale! See you Monday morning.

– Jamie

I wanted to give you an update on Babe. Babe’s owner loved her dearly and thought the world of her. His life was about Babe however he has been hospitalized and won’t return home, which is why she is coming to ARG. Linda picked up Babe on Saturday afternoon from the owner’s brother. She is quite matted and dirty. Linda was going to give her a bath last night but would not have time to groom her. The worst part was that Babe was crying and upset as she left her home. Linda’s husband sat in the back seat with her and consoled her but it was heartbreaking.

Thanks to all of you for helping get Babe to Jamie.

Safety: Please ensure that you are aware of Babe when opening car doors, transferring her from person to person, always making sure a hand is on the leash. Unless necessary, remain in car with A/C 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 her off leash at any time 😊
Do not feel the need to walk Babe outside if you arrive early. Sitting in the car in the A/C will be fine for her. . (IF you have a water bowl, please bring it so he can take a water sip between cars to keep her hydrated). .
PLEASE USE YOUR CHILD LOCKS so that Babe cannot accidentally open a window or door! (It has happened!)!. Safe Travels!. I will be available for any questions. Let me know when you’re safely back home! Pictures are welcome but safety first! 919-605-4563

Great news. Jamie Roetman wants to adopt Babe.

She is at a horse show this Friday/Saturday but said she can drive Sunday. Linda Jarvis (I can’t find her email) said she is driving to Ocala FL Sunday.

Ari-

I have been here. We adopted a wire fox terrier soon after I lost my little dog, Molly. I loved him and he was all mine. He sat on my lap, snuggled me, he followed me around the house. But, he started being too possessive of me and was going after my husband’s service dog, starting fights and upsetting the house overall. Multiple times I talked with the rescue and we finally brought him to a foster home he was adopted by a lovely couple that gave him the only dog home he needed. I could not give it to him. I still love him and occasionally hear from his new mom. He is so happy it fills my heart with joy. It was gut-wrenching and I questioned myself before giving him up and for months after.

My situation was different but I do know how you are feeling. Letting Benji go to a new home is hard, I get it. Benji has so much waiting for him. An experienced Airedale home that can give him so much more than you are able to right now and for a while. That is what you have to keep first and foremost.

Let us give him that with the people that want to love him.

Pat

Hello,

I’m going to be completely honest of where I am in the process. I don’t want to give Benji up. I feel like Benji and I’s personality is very similar which is why it’s really hard for me to rehome him. Since last we spoke, I brought both of them inside and they no longer spend any time chained up outside. They roam free inside the home and do a pretty good job. The issue I am having is that I can’t offer them a fenced-in yard right now and it will be a while before I can enroll them in obedience classes. Going on long walks is not the same as running freely and we can’t always go to a dog park. I also feel that we would not be as overwhelmed if it were just Benji, but finding a home for our Husky, Ki, has not been easy. My husband is also allergic to the Husky’s hair, which is why it’s much harder. I’m torn between keeping Benji, continuing to improve, and waiting to rehome our other dog or giving him to them since they are already equipped to give him a better home now. The last thing I want is to rob him of the best life, but I know I can give him a better life, it’s just going to take some time for me to get there. So I’m just really contemplating back and forth between that because I don’t want to rob him of all of the bells and whistles. I just want to make the right choice. But it will be empty without Benji…

Thanks for your patience and understanding. I really do appreciate your help throughout this entire process.

Hello Ari,

The couple is still interested in giving Benji a home.

Has there been any changes since you completed the surrender form?

When would be a good time to arrange transport?

Thank you.

Hi Jennifer-

Are you still interested in adopting ?

Benji’s people approached us again. I questioned if they are serious.

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Hello Ari-

I will have to check with them. Are you absolutely sure this is what you want to do? I don’t want to ask and disappointment them again.

Good Evening,
I was wondering if that particular couple who were looking into adopting Benji were still interested.
Thanks.

Ari,

I can understand having second thoughts. I will let the adopter know.

If you are set on keeping him and giving Benji a chance, I recommend investing time and money in obedience classes with Benji. Just like children, a dog needs boundaries, guidance (training), and love to thrive. And they need to be a part of the family. The more you integrate the dog into the family and the activities the better the relationship you will have with your dogs. Please know that we find great homes for dogs needing to be rehomed that give the best possible life for the dog. A dog that is kenneled for long periods of time, soiling his kennel, and being chained outside with a dog house, is not providing all Benji needs to be a thriving Airedale. He needs a lot of play, training in obedience, interaction with the family, love, and attention.

While I did not find a trainer in Candor, there are trainers that are nearby. You want to look for a positive reward trainer who wants to help you build a relationship with your dog.

Good Morning,

Likely once Benji is with us will work out get him cared for.

Thanks.

11/2/2022 Talked with the owner. Benji is sweet, timid of thunderstorms, and does not like the vacuum. Over powers their toddler as he does not know his own space. He loves being brushed, does well getting a bath and having his nails trimmed. Has not been groomed because she is concerned about scaring him.

He does pull on leash, but likely correctable.

Home trained however, if left in his crate too long, he will poop in the crate. (I got the feeling he is crated way too long).

He is not on any HW prevention, although tested negative for HW. They use 7-way dewormer from Petco.

Looks like we can remove the Hacketts from the list. They found a ‘dale at a shelter and he’s fit in well.
