to me, ChristinaHey Pat,
Unfortunately I got bit by Tootles this morning, wiping off his wet feet when he came in today. Around the thumb area. It’s not bad, pics attached, but could use some guidance on next steps with him. I suppose the vet warned me about this.

Subject: Re: TootlesHi Jamie-
Christina and I are working hard to identify a new home for Tootles. This includes sending his info to new applicants that have had an interview but not yet a home visit. We will work in a foster home for him, I promise.
I do understand and this has taken far longer than expected. I am hearing rumbling in the general rescue world of a slow down of adoptions and fosters with people traveling.
We will get this done and find him a home.

to Jackie, me, ChristinaYes. Just submit the invoices to me and I can reimburse whomever you tell me to.
My little 5lb tea cup poodle is having those issues right now ….. at least his nose quit bleeding They are trying him on Temaril right nowHow old is he ? Is he going out adopted or on a foster contract ?
If he is adopted, with this condition being known, I have one set of funds for that; if he is on foster with ongoing medical, I have another set of funds for that. 🙂— rusty

Hi, Rusty. ARG has an Airedale, Tootles, that you can read about here. https://airedalerescuegroup.com/tootles-5-yr-old-male-neutered-al-airedale-rescue-group-foster-care-inot-yet-available/
He will require ongoing medications for his medical condition. Is there any type of funds or precedent for national helping with ongoing expenses like this? He has had every diagnostic test you can imagine: nasal scope, head CT, X-rays, and others to the tune of nearly $5k to see what is causing his issues, but it’s apparently just chronic rhinitis.Other questions? Let us know.
Thank you,

to meHi Pat,
Tootles is doing great – I did put him back on 50mg Traz a day, he goes in and out of growling and I can’t figure out why, so I think it helps.
I know you’d come to me with any news, and I think I thought he’d get a home sooner than later… With him being so obsessed with the cats, as much as I love him and he trusts me, I think it’s best to have him move on. If he isn’t adopted in July, can we try to identify another long term foster? I don’t want him to have so much change, but I’m worried about putting him in boarding for 9 days, and I honestly didn’t think I’d have him this long.
Let me know your thoughts.

to me, Christina, JackiePat, I had a good conversation with Joe Baptista.
It’s been years since they had a pet since they spent the last 7 years before moving into their house sailing around the Caribbean/Latin America. They have a personal friend who is a vet, although not in the area, she has a friend she went to vet school whom she recommended and is now in the area.
I asked him to tell me about the Airedale they used to watch and there were clearly very fond memories of this ADT and his personality.
He is on social media so I suggested he add that to the list of steps to take to reunite with the dog should anything happen and it gets lost.
Re: training, they do plan on training. Since it’s hard to know the background of trainers with big box stores like PetSmart, I advised them to be sure to look for signs of positive training.I asked if he remembered what Flea/Tick/HW he used in the past and it was Advantix.
They are looking for a younger dog, Doesn’t have to be a puppy but preferably no much older than 3-4. He feels once they hit 5-6, bad habits may be too ingrained to easily relearn.
I’ve checked Google Earth and they do indeed have a chain link fence. Additionally, there is a nice park a block or two away, with what looks like a decent sized grassy dog yard.
I suggest we move them on to Home Visit stage.

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.
