to meI’m sorry if I ask silly questions! I’ve never had an adopted dog before and I don’t know much of Hughie’s history so I don’t know if it’s me or how he was before! I want to be well bonded with him and I feel my husband and I both are but I don’t want him to have separation anxiety either! My husband and I are both at home with him during the day. It concerned me some that he shuts off after dinner– I thought it was because there was no more food to offer and that’s all he wants but you say your dogs do the same! That makes me feel better! Are your dogs around you all day?

Subject: Gary and Peggy Willms Home VisitChristina;
Klancey and I had the privilege of meeting with the Willms this morning. They are a fantastic couple who very much miss their previous Dale Duke, and are looking forward to having another to join their lives.
I’ve attached the home visit report. They have a lovely home in a park like setting with a large fenced yard. While there they loved on Klancey, provided water without asking, dug out toys for her to entertain herself with, and generally adored her.
Their grown children and grandchildren live nearby, and frequently visit. They love to entertain guests, all of which are used to larger breed dogs, and even have a house/pet sitter that stays over when they travel.
I would highly recommend this wonderful couple to adopt from ARG. Klancey and I plan to visit for play dates once their new companion arrives. 😉
Please let me know if you need any other information, or if I can help again in the future.

to info, ChristinaHi Ladies,
Loved this guy. He says he (77) and wife (Peggy 70) are in very good shape, walk daily, she runs alittle, people think they are in their 50’s. I discussed with him about what would happen to the dog if something happened to them. Peggy’s daughter, who lives in Pittsburgh would take the dog, or his son who lives 5 minutes away would take the dog. The GKids have boston terriers so they are comfortable with Airedales and dogs and they are tweens, not young babies.
Has 4.3 acres, an e-fence that is surrounded by an inter-fence too so the dog can’t get loose. Also has a 1 acre forested lot area. They garden, veggies/Flowers and love being outside.
When traveling they have a woman from church stay in their home.
They are currently having reconstruction of their deck, fence and pool – advised for home visit.VET: Duke n/m seen yearly from 2014-2021, Took Heartworm meds, well taken care of. Euthanized 2/3/21 for abdominal cancer.
Would like a young dog up to about 5 years old. I guess we have a young dog, and the house passes, maybe should confirm with Peggy’s daughter or Gary’s son that they would take the dog if needed. Peggy lives in Pittsburgh with a dog, when they visited Duke went and got along with Peggy’s dog. So Peggy knows Airedales too.
He said he lives closer to Arkansas and may check in with them, because we don’t have any dogs.
Nice guy. Recommend.– Julie

Can you take this one?
She is interested in Daisy but I don’t think she is the dog for a first time Airedale owner. She has a 9 yr old son and I also would prefer to see Daisy in an adult only home.

to Martha, Christina, JackieMartha –
Here is info about Daisy. She sounds super stressed with a toddler and a young Welsh terrier. She has gotten aggressive to the young terrier and the family can no longer risk her behavior with the young child. Daisy was an ARG rescue several years ago before the family had the baby and got the Welsh.
She is spayed, HW negative, vaccines good due in June 2022.
Please think about adding Daisy to your home and let me know.
thank you!
Name of dog: Daisy
Male or Female?: Female
Have you had the Airedale since it was a puppy?: No
If not, how did you acquire the Airedale?: ARG
Neutered/ Spayed?: Yes
Age/ Birthday: 1/7/2014
AKC papers?: No
Weight: 52
Reason for giving up Airedale. Please be specific.: We love Daisy and have really struggled with this giving her up. We feel we have no choice. She is unpredictable in her interactions with our other dog. She has attacked Duggy four times, causing stitches twice. Each time one of my children were right next to her. Duggy does not fight back and still Daisy attacks him to the point of blood or stitches. She will growl at our toddler but this is mostly requesting space. Otherwise she is so happy and has so much energy! She hates cats and all little moving things (squirrels, cats, ground hogs, etc). She is a very good hunter which is part of the reason she takes out her pray instinct out of Duggy. She is a runner so she needs a fenced yard. She is not a digger unless she is chasing a creature. She is highly reactive on a leash. We tried a lot of training and found a pinch collar works best. She loves hiking. She loves riding in the car. She’s a great lake house dog. Since she is very strong and very enthusiastic she may need a new family that can handle her strength. She loves to lean and has nearly pushed us over from it. I work from home and she loves laying next to me all day but she is fine if left alone for long periods of time. she has free run of our home but will be fine in a crate as she has been trained to use one. She is so eager to please (I have never seen a dog so I tune to pleasing humans) but she cannot control her pray instinct. We think she would be best for a home with no cats or other dogs and older children.d) other important living conditions:
Airedale is (check all that apply to your Airedale): Living in a home (Inside dog; lives inside except to potty or play outside), Fenced yard

Airedale Interactions (check all that apply to your Airedale): Sweet dog, loves to cuddle, Afraid of thunderstorms, Afraid of loud noises, Children: Does best with older children 10 yrs to teenagers, Cats: Hates cats – wants to chase or eat them, Dogs: NOT good with small dogs, Dominant to other household animal(s), Aggressive to other dogs (hostile, injurious, or destructive behavior toward another dog)
Dog’s best qualities are:: Eager to please, cuddling, love her adult people so much, listens well when not hunting, eats well, grooms easily (at groomer or being brushed at home), healthy
Dog’s worst qualities are:: Won’t listen if reacting to another dog (on leash or in person), highly attentive to prey, unpredictable. Will love and play with her brother dog happily and then something will set her off and she will attack him.
Has Airedale received any obedience training? If yes, please describe.: Yes, manners training when we first got her. Reactive leash training later. Consult with prey instinct.

to Christina, Jackie, meWe can remove Kacy Plunkett from the list of potential adopters. Looks like they’ve just found their ADT puppy!
m
2/15/2022 Moved to Did not adopt. They only want a puppy and have been offered several dogs between 1 to 3 yrs old.
2/14/2022: Received a call from Marissa. They need to rehome Gus due to their health issues and Gus’s energy level. Gus needs more than they can give him. He needs a fenced yard to play in and more than a few walks per day. He does well at day-care and plays well with other dogs. On walks he is overzealous and has pulled both Ed and Marissa down.
