      to me, Jo-Anne, Christina

      Just seeing this so not entered into the MB yetbut John Grenda is approved. He is interested in Sam O but I saw Sam has a pending adoption. If that doesn’t work out, maybe consider John.

      I’ll let John know of the pending adoption.

      He was a nice man. He is eager to adopt. However, he does not use Facebook often and is not very comfortable with it he was going to try to check it often to see if dogs were available. We did tell him that we thought maybe you or the organization contacted applicants when dogs might be available in his area if his request for adoption was approved.
      I really enjoyed the visit. I am attaching the form as pictures, I hope you can read them.
      Have a great evening!

        Let me know if you need anything else?

        Hi Gregg-

        I contacted your vet office and the record showed heartworm preventative script in the online store ran out in October of 2025. It may be a glitch on their end, but I need confirmation from you that Saba is on preventative. Could you provide a receipt for the preventative?

        Once I have this, we can move forward with a home visit.
        Thanks much.

            Hey Pat,
            I met with Jack and Anne Hudson yesterday. I took my 3 year old Xena with me for the visit. I figured that if there were any issues with the Hudson’s, Xena would expose it. But they loved her. She ran all over their house, climbed on them and licked their faces. Jack and Anne weren’t just being patient with her, they really loved her. They actually invited us to stop by whenever we’re in the area. They have had 6 airedales in the past and really miss having one in their lives. I think they would be perfect for a dog age 5-6 and up.
            I’m sorry that my handwriting on the forms is so bad. I have a broken thumb on my writing hand.

              2/22/26 text from Tim
              Kaspar is a bit more concerning. He is underweight and skin/bones. I fed them both last night at about 8 and he ate about a cup. I used the food the previous owner sent. He vomited it up about 10:30 and then about every 40 minutes he threw up again. This went on until 06:45 this morning. Eventually there was no food but just water and mucous. It was a long night for us. My suspicion is a food allergy. I dealt with this with my Sasha and most dry kibble. He wouldn’t eat toast this morning morning and didn’t like banana. I gave him a half a cup of rice and half a scrambled egg. He ate it all and that was about 0745. So I’m hoping he doesn’t throw up and I’ll give him more around 1030ish. He was miserable last night and would just stand next to the bed with his head down and a couple times, Just laid his head in my hands. The food allergy could explain him being underweight and a bit weak. Lola is more filled out and very pushy and takes his food if she can.

              I recommended full vet work up with bloodwork and xrays

                Jake (who my son has renamed Jethro) is a lot! Sweet but he’s all puppy energy. Lots of marking and so very much energy. Jo is not particularly happy.
                We did have a vet visit. Vet wanted me to wait on neutering until he had cleared heartworm treatment, but that would be months away. Ultimately she conceded after she saw his energy level & agred that the neutering could come first. She said that we needed to try to keep him calm even before the heartworm treatment and the neutering should help.
                Pre-op blood work scheduled for 3/3 & surgery on 3/11
                They did an x-ray and determined that he’s likely been hit by a car. But vet was shocked at how cleanly the break healed given that it was clear to her that it was not professionally set.
                She thinks he’s not 2 given the condition of his teeth.
                Arthritis is the main concern. But she really couldn’t get over how lucky he is.
                Yes. He is sweet and does like his crate, which is good. He’s started the doxyclycline regime to prepare for the heartworm.
                Yes. I think so. I’m sure he’ll calm down and Jo is doing much better. I was super worried about his activity level given the current heartworm dx and the upcoming treatment, but the vet said that they’ll prescribe an anti-anxiety/mild sedative that will help dampen his energy.

                            hi Zoe
                            As we collected our intake docs about Maximus and I read through the vet records, I saw something that I had to ask owner about. Per the records, Maximus stayed at kennel in 12/2025 and vet records said
                            Max has a 3/6 heart murmur. Grade 3/6 left-sided systolic murmur, heart rate 148 bpm, synchronous femoral pulses

                            When I asked owner he said “Well this is news to me. Unless I’m badly mistaken, this was never communicated or they said ti was nothing to worry about. They never suggested medication for him from what i recall. He still has energy and no issues with long walks.”

                            I asked if Max was boarded at that vet over 12/2025 Christmas time frame as that is when the notes indicate it was identified and he said he had boarded him there over Christmas (i wondered if there was an error on the vet records).His dad picked up Max. He had a limp from where he sprained his foot but that was the only issue and he is fine now – no limp.

                            With that said, I wanted to ask if you’d like to proceed with arranging a meet up with Maximus. He seems like the perfect age and experience with children but this is new news that we had to share with you.
                            (My Rosie, who you may have met, had a heart murmur – she lived to 12. I had her on medication at the end which helped her. My dog nephew, a lab, has had a heart murmur since he was a puppy and its monitored every year, he does normal walking and exercise and it has not changed – no medication).

                                  hi Nancy,
                                  We have an incoming female ‘dale who is a little over 1 year old. Her owner’s disabilities have become more difficult for her to keep up with Sadie. Sadie gets along with other animals – even chickens. Would this be a good match for you? If so, please let me know.

                                  I plan to talk to Sadie’s owner today. Pat has exchanged some FB details – she posted on our site kinda seeking help and we encouraged her to surrender to ARG, which she did. Pat will get her vet records to confirm and hold but she has been well cared for.
