By submitting this form, I certify that the information I have provided is true and accurate. I am physically, emotionally, and financially able to care for an Airedale. I understand that Airedales require both physical and mental stimulation to thrive and I will provide both. I understand that Airedales that come into rescue may not have been trained or socialized properly and may need extra time, patience, and care to adjust to a new environment. This may include the need to attend pet obedience classes to help build a better bond with the new dog in the home. I understand that proper food and veterinarian care can be costly, and I am able to meet these needs. I agree that Airedale Rescue Group may check my veterinarian, groomer and personal references, as well as, my landlord, if applicable. Home visits will be conducted prior to and following an adoption to ensure the safe-keeping of the Airedale. ARG reserves the right to decline adoptions. ARG reserves the right to reclaim any dog who, in our judgment, appears neglected, abused, unkempt, or unsafe. ARG reserves the right to reclaim any dog for non-payment of the adoption fee at any time.: I hereby agree, and consent

to me, ChristinaHi Pat:
I just got back from the Kane’s and they seem like a perfect Airedale family. They have a nice backyard and a good set up for a pet. Blue enjoyed his visit and they seemed to like Blue. They did ask about his size and I told him Blue is a standard (60lbs) but there is a large type that can get to 100 lbs or so. I don’t think they would be interested in a huge dog. But other than that I think they would be great.

to me, Christina, JackieSeems like a lovely family. Lori is a stay at home mom without any kids any more. Lost their Irish Terrier June 2020. Husband works from home. Daily living is a morning walkie, backyard time and afternoon or evening walk depending on how hot it is. (smart lady). Has a gravel trail in neighborhood. They belong to a boating club. Her Irish was in a life jacket on a leash, which she held, while on the boat. Irish didn’t swim and she’s ok with that.
Daughter lives locally with a pitbull + plott hound mix who is timid.
Son does not live locally but just had a baby
Neighbor has a 1.5 you German Shepherd.
So new dog must be friendly, not guarded and not have separation anxiety
Backyard is picket fence with a little of split rail and wire (this is not the German’s home fencing)VET: Gordie seen regularly HW, Flea and Tick “very very good owners”
She’s on our facebook page and enjoys seeing all the dogs and seeing what ARG does. Wouldn’t mind being involved in transport if needed.
Let’s get them a home visit.

JulieSpoke with Sue Stafford, breeder in Waldo OH. ARG will get puppy from the person and then determine course of action. Puppy safety comes first.
James Sparks “Sparky” Hoover, AL, 205-862-3869
Sparky claims the puppy is vicious. Biting and attacks their 15 lb Welsh. Apparently had an Airedale for 12 years.Donna Noland will meet Sparky to get Bertie. She will advise Pat when she has her.
ARG will commit to get pup to TN/KY border but Sue Stafford must get it from there.
6/19/2021: Interviewed by Christina and approved based on rescue expereience.
Met surrender and is fostering Conway
6/7/2021:
Neuro exam normal; no need for brian MRI
Abdominal xray normal; density was either fluid or artifactTootles continues to do well. Still growly when handled and is muzzled for exam
6/8/21: Tootles MEDICAL UPDATE:
Hey Pat, Dr Gallman wanted me to relay that Tootles did well with the lung stuff, it’s off to the lab – should get one answer by about 5pm, and then 3-7 for more answers. He’s coming out of anathesia now, they’re monitoring him closely.
He will call with the 5pm news and how he’s doing – we talked a bit about the meds. He’ll be on two, mostly for life he said, one once a day, and once every 3 days. Since one of the meds is an anti-inflammatory, we can try taking him off tramadol too.
I can’t remember the names of the meds… but they’re for nasal disease/chronic rhinitis. He said this is all good news, doesn’t think it’s a mass….I can’t remember all the other stuff, I held his ear for a while lol!6/5/2021: Dr. Santana called with an update.

to Jackie, ChristinaTootles bloodwork is indicative of an inflammatory response. His xray shows pneumonia in one lower lobe. He is asymptomatic for pneumonia (no temp) so at this time he will be on fluids and given oxygen for supportive care. No antibiotics will be introduced at this time but could be if indicated. It is likely aspiration pneumonia due to inhaling his nasal discharge.
He is being transferred to the medical group on Sunday for his care and follow-up. Tuesday would be the earliest he might have more diagnostics done.
—
Pat Hairston6/4/2021: Tootles began significant discharge from one nostril. Thick, cream mucus. I told Jamie I would call Blue Pearl.
6/5/2021: Unsuccessful telephone call with Blue Pearl, talking with Jamie we agreed she would follow-up with her vet practice after a restless night and seemingly lethargic, not wanting to eat. She talked to the on-call vet and he suggested Tootles be taken to Auburn University Veterinary School.
Tootles was admitted to the vet school for observation and care with the need to transfer him to the medical group that can do the nasal scan.
approx. 6 pm: Estimate for hospitalization for 2 nights and care with chest xrays and bloodwork, $1500. $750 deposit paid.

to Jackie, ChristinaJackie and Christina,
Tootles is at Auburn University Vet Hospital.
He is stable with severe nasal discharge.
Dr. Santana agrees he needs a nasal CT/scope which we are hopeful can be done early next week but will not know until Monday when they try to schedule it.
I have authorized bloodwork and chest xrays so those tests are done in advance of the nasal study and to determine if there is anything else going on. Estimate through Monday is $1000 to $1,500; ARG will pay $750 today.
Estimate for nasal study $2,500 to $3,500.
Possibilities of a) foreign body, 2) yeast or fungal infection, 3) neoplasm (abnormal tissue that grows by cellular proliferation more rapidly than normal and continues to grow after the stimuli that initiated the new growth cease.), 4) cancer. Vet is less likely to support cancer because there is no blood.
Vet will call in AM with update or I can call and check on him later.
There are a lot of ifs but this is the right direction for a diagnosis.
Pat
