from Julie 7/29/2021:
Mary is a nice southern woman who had the best dog in the world, BEAR – Poodle and couldn’t possibly get another Poodle because it’s too sad. Southern women can be pushy. hahaha! She wants a puppy – she’s 66, hubs 69 because she wants to train it. She’s a retired Educator and likes consistency. But she also mentioned that her dogs were usually ‘outdoor’ dogs until the husband wanted an indoor dog. Who must not shed. Hence looking at Airedales.I gave her the scary speech about dirt, water, barking, digging. but she insists it would be ok. Told her we rarely obtain puppies, especially now as it’s not really puppy season. She wants young because she must train it to be good with grand kids (4,8)
Believes in Heart worm meds. Bear had Heartworm injections and she thinks it may have contributed to his diagnosis of lymphona at 5 years old.
She struck me as a determined southern biddy who doesn’t like no as an answer. But I didn’t NOT like her. haha.
VET: Took great care of Bear, HW injections, seen yearly, applequel and ears checked often. We he was sick, they did bloodwork, US and next day euthanized. Receptionst said they are very nice people and then kindly said, are up in age.
We could do home visit but I wouldn’t put her 1st of the list bc of age (for a puppy), and lack of Airedale experience.
Over and out
Julie8/11/2021 After almost one year Kristin Dobes reached out via FB messenger:
Good evening. I’ve spoken with you before. It seemed to be going well and then he lashed out at my daughter tonight for no reason. If I signed over my rights right now, how soon can anyone get him out of the home?
I switched vets. Everything seemed to be going so much better. And tonight she simply reached down to get a piece of toilet paper and he bit her. So, if y’all don’t take in dogs like that, then I understand. But if it’s an option, then I’m reaching out to ask for help

I’m trying to get in touch with Jackie Cash now.Kristin- This is Pat Hairston. Jackie is on medical leave and is not available at this time. Does your veterinary practice do boarding? If so, if you complete the release form and get get him into boarding tomorrow, we can handle him from there. It is easier for ARG is you communicate by email to info@airedalerescuegroup.com.
Please describe the bite. Was skin broken? Have you taken your daughter to the ER or a walk-in clinic.
We will have him evaluated by a behaviorist and then determine the best course of action from there.
Sent by Pat HairstonShe was surrendered by her owner due to cost. They were unemployed and could not keep her up including her grooming needs. They had her for 10 years and got her from a breeder in Texas. They described her as a couch potato, playful, house trained, crate trained, likes men and women. Lived with kids 10 years and up and other dogs. Does not like cats. Enjoys chew toys. Ate Blue Wilderness.

to info@airedalerescuegroup.com, mcprange@aol.comHello,
I conducted an in person home visit at the residence of Karen Cornell on June 18, 2021 on behalf of American Fox Terrier Rescue, Inc.
I determined that Karen provided a safe, clean, and loving home for the senior Airedale that she had and had clearly done so for the senior dogs that she had lost due to old age or terminal illness. She is a retired nurse and is home almost continuously. She has a secure fence in her backyard.
I recommended that a rescued male wire fox terrier be permanently placed with her and we subsequently did so. Followup conversations I have had with Karen indicate that this placement has been exceptionally successful.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or require further information.

to meHey Pat,
I called her about 2 weeks ago and finally got her today. She doesn’t want to adopt, but she is interested in fostering or transport.
Just adopted a wire fox terrier in June as a brother to Abbee her 13 yo ADT. She retired to SC from DE. Husband still has a home in DE, so he travels.Has good fencing, VET references were good, on Bravetco and Heartguard. New vet in SC, old vet in DE and both were fine.
She mentioned she will be fostering and transport for WireFox Terrier too. She said she just did the home visit with WireFox Terrier so if we need that information she could probably get it for us.
So nothing too exciting since she’s not interested in adoption but maybe fostering.
Thanks
