5/11/2021: Phillip lost his job recently and feels they cannot take an Airedale right now. He will keep up posted and if he finds a new job quickly he would be interested in Chloe or Belle.

to Julie, me, Christina, JackieHi, ladies,
I had a great visit with Sheryl Killoran on Wednesday. Sean wasn’t able to be there but I had actually met him and had a chance to talk with him at Wendy’s wedding and had been very impressed with him as we had talked about training since he had trained so many of Wendy’s dogs.
The family has a great big backyard that is fully fenced by a 6′ wood fence that meets board to board so no spots where a dog could escape. Currently, the family has a labradoodle who is super sweet and laid back. Sheryl told me they often have dogs come to the house for training – and to stay for a day or longer, including Wendy’s dogs, which Wendy herself had mentioned to me.
Wendy holds the Killorans in very high regard. Sean trained Jagger and continues to work with both Georgia Skye and Jayne. The Killorans are both very dog savvy and it’s clear their training is positive. The dog who ends up with them will be very happy and very lucky!

5/7/2021. I think this man should be placed in Did not adopt and not be contacted again with available dogs. He seems to not understand the needs of the dogs and wants a robot.
5/4/21: Thomas has either not responded (Padme) or declined dogs Klancey).

Susan,
I did. I was thinking. Most of it sounds ok, except the digging of large holes. I’ve had the yard professionally landscaped, and hole digging is not an option as I’ve spent thousands on getting my yard just right. I’ll have to think more about it.
Thanks,
Thomas

to JamieHi Jamie-
Overall I think great progress. I am sad for you that it will not work with your cats but that you understand that is a gift.
I still wonder if the growling is his talking and maybe one of the reasons for his surrender because of their children. Is the growling with the food when you stand near him? If his bowl is empty can you pick up the bowl without him growling?
It will be interesting to see if his runny nose starts before his appointment at Blue Pearl. I wonder if does can have TMJ- from grinding his teeth? Might be work an ask at Blue Pearl.
I begin thinking about a hime for him. One of our adopters has asked about adopting another. I don’t think there are children but there may be grands there occasionally. I will do my research.
Thank you for giving him so much and loving him. We really do appreciate you!
Grateful,
Pat

to meHi Pat,
Just wanted to provide an update on Tootles. Doing very well – super affectionate, loves his toys, respectful towards everything else such as doesn’t jump on counters, doesn’t mistake a non-toy, and while wants human food, is respectful when I’m eating, just overall a super lovely boy. He still growls, and still hard to tell what it means. Growls when playing together with his toys so that’s playful, then growls with his food sometimes so that’s food aggression, and then growls sometimes randomly, and the other night he kept going until he then sounded like he was whining/in pain. But other than that, he doesn’t seem to be in actual pain. Maybe he can’t see at night and when he growls at night that’s why …. so many thoughts! He still does that jaw thing and when I don’t give him any more attention he stops, but he does seem to do it more after he sleeps too.
He needs a home without cats – he’s too interested and now obsessive, sitting outside the closed door with gate, waiting to catch a glimpse of perhaps a cat shadow.
To me, he’s good on a leash (with that training collar), until he sees a dog, and then barks alot and wants to go to the dog. But he loves his walks! He went to doggie daycare on Saturday – he got an A! He loved making new friends, and said he was shy but sweet. They observed the growling but didn’t think it was aggressive. I was so proud of him! So we know he’s good with dogs, just doesn’t know how to act when he sees one from afar.
I think he’d love a home with more activity too – I do work full time here at home, and although I try to play and let him out multiple times a day, I think he might be bored a little bit with just me! Hence the doggie day care!
I love this boy! While I had hoped to maybe adopt him, I think with the cats, it’s not the best fit.. He’s going to make a family very happy – he’s such a good boy!
No issues with the nose yet, he’s been off the antibiotics for a week or more now. He does have some crusty areas on his skin, but with the grooming, I think they’re healing with being more open to the air. The groomers were too scared to clip his nails, so I took him to his vet last week and they did a great job clipping his nails – they said he was less growly than last time! They adore him too!
Talk soon!!!
5/2/2021: Vaccines were updated but need new vet printout. Klancey to be seen 5/3 for hematoma on her ear.

Hello!
I completed an application for the ARG last year & would love to foster/adopt an Airedale. I noticed on the website another recently became available. Are there any next steps I can take in order to be considered for adoption?
Thank you!
Stephanie Campbell
Will reactivate application and schedule home visit

Subject: Bloodwork
Reply-To: cah@companionahil.comOverall, the bloodwork was fairly good except for a slightly low Na:K ratio and slightly low albumins. Since there is no history of intermittent GI signs and the Na is well within the normal range, this is probably an insignificant finding. Monitor for recurrent GI signs. A urinalysis and blood pressure should be checked to look for any protein loss through the kidneys.

to Airedale, heathsncHeather,
I am sorry to hear this but we do understand and will always work to rehome one of the Airedale’s we placed.
Please give me an update photo and send his current veterinary record reflecting what was done for his seizure. This is sad news to hear and I hope either does not occur again or is manageable.
Thank you for reaching out.
Pat
