to Barbara, mehi – I wanted to let you know that I saw on Karen William’s FB that she may have passed away so I DM’d the person who mentioned it and that person responded to me to say that she passed away on July 11 and she had liver cancer. I asked about her Airedale – she had a young one. The person said that she gave her airedale to a friend.
Bay – Harry, who she had from us, had passed away in the past few years.
At one point, she had posted to various Airedale FB sites that she was looking for someone to drive her to get her new puppy and she got a puppy. No idea where she got it or who she gave it to

to Jackie, Mary, Kelly, me, ChristinaHey all, I received a text from them last night after I sent this email to ya’ll. They have decided it’s too soon after losing their other dog to cancer, just a week ago, to get another right now. I think it was a good decision for them right now. I will follow up in a few weeks unless they let me know they want to proceed with the process. Since they want a puppy or dog under one year old, it might be awhile, anyways.

Shannon Wheeler
I reached out to Shannon again to see if the timing was better for moving forward with an adoption/fostering. Although she told me they ‘would love to,” she said that she has “a tentative job offer in Fayetteville. It’s a great opportunity to get back in the federal government.”
I wished her good luck and told her to just let us know when the timing is right and we can move forward.

ON HOLD:
I reached out to Susan via email to schedule a time to speak on the phone. She replied that they had decided to “hold off for the time being. We just think that three ‘dales may be too much and i’ve set the balance of our other two. The female in Vermont was of interest because she was trained on the invisible fence as all my dogs have been, but as interested as I am, I think for our other dogs at this point, we will have to give her a miss. down the road.. keep us on your list…”
Since we don’t know their timing, I suggest we keep them on the list and let her reach out to us when they are ready. Once they do, we can re-initiate phone interview and HV.

to Delilah, ARGGood afternoon, Delilah. Yesterday got away from me, but I wanted to send this so you have all of my info in one place. I enjoyed talking to you and learning about Daisy–she sounds like a perfect Aire-girl–and Clyde, who sounds like a sweetheart of a little basset-mix boy. He certainly is a lucky boy for you to have taken him in after he was dumped.
I spoke to your vet’s office and they gave you a good reference and could think of no reason that you should not be allowed to adopt an Airedale. I left a call to your neighbor Kate and will also call your other reference Kari. Then I will find a volunteer who lives near you to conduct your home visit.
I’ll be in touch as we progress. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.
Happy New Year!

Subject: Re: ARG terrible home visit.Kelly, Flippers are people who adopt dogs from shelters inexpensively or adopt dogs from people who advertise “free to good home,” then turn around and sell them. Whether these folks are or not, I don’t know; but their paper application and their interview and their home visit do not jibe. I have emailed Greenville SC Humane Society and Greenville SC animal control shelter and Golden Retriever Rescue in Greenville to warn them about these folks.
In my ARG experience, I have bought Airedales from, I believe, 2 flippers but didn’t realize it until it was too late. Then, of course, I wanted to get the dogs because I didn’t want them to go to just anyone. One woman had posted on Craigslist that she needed to rehome a female Airedale, I forget the details, but she needed $500 as a rehoming fee. I got her to accept $400. It turns out one of our other volunteers recognized the dog from a previous “free to a good home” ad in the area. So, the woman who we dealt with had gotten that Airedale free then turned around and sold her to us. People do that with shelters all the time with purebreds or dogs that look to be purebreds.
As Seinfeld said, “People! They’re the worst!”

to Jackie, me, Barbara, ChristinaHi all.
Just want to let you know that Jessica Johnson and Greg Porter have been moved to “cold day in hell.” The entire home visit write up is on their forum. I just feel awful that Emily Cook and her husband had this experience as their 1st home visit. It can only get better, right?!

7/17/24 update from Cindy Green.
Hi Pat,
Continued work with Dorothy reveals a primary issue.
I believe Dorothy has a type of barrier frustration/entrapment/fear reactivity.
If Dorothy is confined by crate , kennel/run or on tight leash and a dog approaches directly she reacts with lunging and barking. The degree of her initial reaction is dependent on her perception of threat from that specific dog . I suspect others have interpreted this as aggression towards dogs.
I can see how this would pose a huge challenge when trying to crate her with other dogs in the immediate area/home.
I currently crate her separate from the other dogs and at no time do I allow my dogs to approach her in a crate . She loves her crate and is a bit of a sleepy head . I suspect is is what she knows from spending a lot of crate time in her past . Perhaps her early exposures to other dogs were from her crate so created bad feelings .To try an address and understand her issues,
I have practiced multiple scenarios outside using my outdoor runs (5 X 10) so she has more space to move away than crate. In the initial attempts with her in a run and my older male approaching (attempting to greet on his part) she barked and lunged insanely until she was really worked up and drooling .
She would also react to my young male but with less intensity. So I began some counter conditioning exercises using just my young male Burl . I used food (she is a major chow hound) and sending to place (she knows place from previous training) to teach her to a “move away” from perceived threat. As of now she is able to remain calm with being approached about 90% of the time. Oddly once I have walked Burl in to the run next her such that they are side by side she is perfectly relaxed. I am able to feed them side by side and nose to nose.
Conversely if Burl is in the run and I walk her up to him on loose leash she does not react. I gather in this scenario she does not feel entrapped.She is still not comfortable with my older male Finn approaching her while she is confined. Seems she is holding those bad feelings from initial introduction. But when I reverse with Finn in run and Dorothy approaching she is able to walk into adjoining run, relax and eat.
When I walk her on loose leash around the property and the other dogs are in outdoor runs she completely ignores.
So challenging behavioral issue/fear with her.She walked in and out of vet office without paying any attention to the other dogs in the lobby. I walked around room so not approaching any dog face to face. She was wonderful with the staff but a bit of an “over greeter” .
In general Dorothy is a sweet , independent dog. She will seek some affection and then quickly pursue doing her own thing . She is mouthy but that has improved as she understands how to appropriately seeks affection . She loves to go on walks and I believe would happily walk for miles. She is a “traveler” by nature. However in this horrible heat of late our walks are limited to early mornings.
