Hello Tanya Bert –

This is Pat Hairston with Airedale Rescue Group. I work with Christina and Jackie. I know you are interested in a young pup but we have a 1 year old female incoming to rescue. 

The owner is older and does not have the time or energy for Airedale pup antics and activity level. I am trying to get a photo of her for you.

She is 52 pounds, date of birth 11/21/2021, spayed and up to date on vaccines through January 2023. She has been on Nexgard HW preventative. I was advised by the vet that she dislikes nail trims and rolls like a “gator” so she requires trazadone prior to nail trims.

Please let me know if you are interested in adopting her within the next couple of days. If not we will move onto our waiting list and ask the next family.

Thanks.

11/20/2022: sadly during transport it was determined Babe’s health was compromised. She was taken to Blue Pearl Augusta GA to be evaluated. Carole and Lenore were worth her and in touch with Christina.

The decision was made to euthanize Babe.

Hi Pat,

Apologies, I didn’t see your email until now. I have a bad habit of not checking my personal email in a timely manner.

Thank you for the condolences, losing Addie 3 months after losing her partner in crime, my stinker guy RJ, hit me pretty hard. I had them both of them for a very long time (RJ 15 years and Addie I had for 10 years but she was 14 years old).

We are very excited to see a pic of the cute pie Zog and hear more about him.

Please let me know what forms or information you need from me to get the adoption process going. Also, what will the cost be?

If possible would you be able to text me at (513) 560-2129? I will immediately start closely monitoring my emails as well.

Thank you again for the opportunity to give this fine young gentlemen a loving forever home! ❤️

Respectfully,
Nicole Ciano

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.

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

Airedale Rescue Group is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. If you itemize deductions on your tax returns, you can use your transport expenses as a tax deduction.

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.
