Karen called evening 3/10
I questioned them not using HW preventative. She said they do not like to take medications nor do they like to dispense to their animals. Their regimen of spraying the yard with herbicide/ insecticide twice a year and spraying Adams when going to be outside has worked for them, “we have not had any issues.”
She said the dogs are never left outside alone. Each new dog has been crated in the beginning, then allowed free reign of the house.
She acknowledged that many people, including her vet, have questioned lack of at least HW preventative.
Both she and her husband work in office jobs, although she occasionally can work for a few hours from home.
Their 17 yr old son still lives at home. Older children are out on their own, some not far away.
Their current dog is a 7 yr old neutered schnauzer, allegedly quite sociable, and is used to having a canine companion.
Their last big dog, a GSD, sounds like a genius. He could push the garage door opener if he felt like going for a stroll. He also could open doors, not just sliding glass doors, ones with standard round door knobs.
Prefer a female to go with male shnauzer. Usual 3-5 age range.
We have several trusted people in area for HV. Cyn, Sandy Sutton, Ruth Tuft.
I haven’t asked any of them so far because I feel conflicted about going forward w/ this applicant.
Hi Barbara,
I spoke to Kim at their vets office and her current dog is up to date on his shots and was found to be Heartworm negative in January. Kim said that they have not dispensed any Heartworm meds to them.
Barbara one thing really bothers me…..the fact that they spray their yard with Sevin. I don’t care that the dogs are not present at the time of spraying. My one vet years ago told me that one of the worse things dogs can be exposed to are herbicides and then insect killers. I won’t let anyone spray anything near where my dogs run. I feel very strong about this issue!
Also where are they getting their Heartworm meds from, because you need a prescription from a vet to get them…
Well that is it, and I hope Spring finds you sooner rather than later!

First new app in a month.
A little dubious about no HW preventative given where they live.
But will be interesting what vet has to say.

Hi Barbara, after reading their application, I fell in love with these people and Martin sounds like a great Dale. I called their vets office and they said that Martin is up to date on all his shots and is on a Heartworm med and flea and tick meds. Martin also enjoys getting groomed there!
They sound great!

Why do you want to adopt an Airedale Terrier? We share our home with our soon to be 8 yr old AKC Airedale. Martin is sweet and has been professionally trained. My great-aunt raised and showed Airedales during the 40’s and 50’s- in California. Having seen her photos- black & white- and the character in her canines in addition to hearing the stories about her love of the breed, I think encouraged my husband and I to fall in love with Martin when our daughter went to grad school she realized that she would not have time to provide the time and exercise Martin needed plus she realized that her Dad and Martin had established a strong and loving bond.
What do you know about Airedales? What qualities appeal to you? Airedales were bred in England and were used to hunt large game. They were used during WWI and WWII to the degree that the breed was almost exterminated.
Airedales are the largest of the terrier group. They are full of energy, can run like a deer and clear fences almost like our local deer. Martin needs to be brushed daily and he hates getting in the rain- but mention the word ”bath” and he will stand at the door waiting on the towels. He seems to know if we are taking him to the vet/groomer and he will move from room to room in order to delay the appointment. He has been hand stripped twice when he was young but he seemed to be in discomfort so now he is clipped every 2-4 months depending on the weather and his coat. Martin has this wonderful ”woof” that changes tone based on what he sees or wants. When Jonathan leaves the house Martin actually whines- to the point that I want to cry too. He is an intelligent, obedient (most of the time) and loving member of our family. He loves to go with us and is a good car rider. If he has an upset stomach he will come to our room so that Jon (usually) can take him out and then I can decide if he needs anything to soothe his stomach.
We talk to Martin in the same voice that we use with our human family; sometimes Martin will cock his head to let us know that he is trying to understand what we are saying to him- that is my favorite pose. I learned early on that Martin saw Jonathan as the pack leader but for some reason Martin has a preference for my bedroom shoes. I learned to buy very inexpensive shoes to leave by my bed and kept my better slippers safely in our closet. In the morning, Martin meets me with one of my shoes- as though he was presenting me a gift and then he quickly rolls over so that I can scratch under his arms and his belly.
He is a wonderful guard dog and has a definite woof for a strange person versus another animal. When Martin first came to us I had the canine love of my life, Ruger a Miniature Schnauzer and our family rescue cat/attack cat, Percival. Martin never showed any attempt to hurt either of them- he was probably wise to avoid the cat. He tried so hard to get Ruger to play, but Ruger was approx. 7 when Martin came. Ruger stayed with me or found a comfortable watch post at the front of our home.
Martin is a special part of our family. One of the most difficult decisions is that if we need to fly up to see our daughter, he stays with my parents who live next door. Both of them love him- I got my canine/animal love from my Dad. Martin had symptoms of an ear infection last week. I used the drops provided by our vet and rubbed his ears. But Jon and I had to go to the grocery store so Martin stayed with his ”grandparents.” Mom said she couldn’t find my Dad. She walked into the front room where Martin often stays and there stretched on the floor beside of Martin was my Dad, rubbing Martin’s ears.
I don’t know how anyone could not love an Airedale. Jonathan still gets tears if we have to leave Martin for a few days. We are blessed to have local family- our son- who will help entertain or keep Martin. I have some arthritis that makes it difficult for me to ride for long distances. Our daughter was ordained and installed as a Pastor last November which meant that there were no family members to sit. Jonathan and I needed to be in Fredricksburg several days before the rest of the family. We rented a big Suburban and my son and daughter-in-law were able to bring Martin up so that he could see his ”first” mom. I think that Airlines should have certain seats so that large dogs could fly with their owners- it is not fair that little dogs come on in a large purse and don’t even have to pay for a ticket.
Is this your first Airedale Terrier? Yes
Are you aware that Airedales need to be clipped at least 3 times a year? Yes
Is anyone in your household, including frequent visitors, allergic to dogs? No
Are you aware that Airedales often pose a clean house challenge with muddy footprints and sloppy wet beards? Yes
What kind of temperament would best suit your household? Protector of the House: barks loud
What is the name of the person who will be the primary caregiver? Deborah Jones
How many hours will the dog be alone daily? Most days never- max would be less than 2 hours.
Where will the dog stay when you are at work or out of the house? We are both retired but Martin stays with my folks next door or they come and get him if we run late.
Where will the dog sleep? Anywhere she chooses- including on the furniture or with us.
Where will the dog stay when you are out of town? Visits a relative or friend
What activities would you like to share with your dog? It depends on the dog’s age. We like to walk in the mountains. We have a trainer and he will be on hand to help us decide what is best for a new dog. Martin has never expressed any interest in getting in the pool with us. Even though we have a fenced in back yard we still go out when Martin is out. Our trainer will be on hand at different times- one will be when the pool is uncovered. We know that 1- not all dogs can swim and 2- a dog can never be left alone where there is a pool- if they like to swim they need to know how to get out and although landscaping around the pool is a barrier, accidents happen.
What will you do if your dog gets lost? Martin is microchipped- and we will have another dog microchipped also. Our alarm system beeps when a door is opened. We live in a small, old established neighborhood and have never had to experience a lost dog event. When outside of our fence, Martin is on leash. We know our neighbors and are familiar with law enforcement/ fire dept/rescue squad personel. We would not hesitate to get in touch with them. We would also call all of the local vets and groomers.
What dollar amount will it take to care for a dog annually? $1500- if healthy; more if there are health issues- we have experienced that
Will you obedience train the dog? Formally with a trainer
Will you use a dog crate? Yes
Will household members support and care for the dog? Yes
How will the dog be taken care of when you are away on business or vacation? Visits a relative or friend
Is there a spot already reserved in your home for an Airedale?
Do you currently own or live with any other animals? Yes
Please describe your pets, including the type of animal(s), are they spayed/neutered, and their ages. Martin- AKC Airedale Terrier- neutered- will be 8yrs old in March
Describe previous dogs you have owned, how long they lived and what ultimately happened to them. That would require a book. My husband grew up on a farm with mixed breed dogs and a favorite chiwawa; My parents taught me how to care for dogs and cats when I was young- although I could not actually bath or feed the dog, I was present. My first dog was a Beagle. I have had Collie dogs, mixed breed rescues, a Springer/Lab mix. My last two dogs were Miniature Schnauzers. My first one had seizures and the vet felt that he had a heart attack during the seizure. My Ruger developed diabetes, bilateral cataracts and became blind. He did not adjust, even though we tried to make every attempt and adjustment to our home and yard. We actually spent the money we had saved for a 25th Anniversary to Bermuda so that Ruger could have both cataracts removed. I was thrilled when he could see again. With-in a month he had developed allergies to his sutures and some of his meds. He went into kidney failure and we went through dialysis- which is a horrible thing for people to endure. Within 2 weeks he was in multi-organ failure. Making the decision to end the life of a friend that loved you even when you were ill tempered and who knew when you were not feeling well, who you had loved since the day you brought a nine week old pup home and watched him become a part of your family-
The staff at the vet’s cried and sobbed with me as the ”Old Gentleman” as they named him- went to heaven.
Have you ever had to give up a dog? Please explain your experience.
No
If any of your current animals have medical conditions, please explain. No
Are your animals up to date on their shots and vaccines? Yes
What brand of dog food do you feed? Canidae dry & canned -is delivered to our home
What brand of heartworm preventative do you use? HeartGuard Plus
What brand of flea and tick preventative do you use? I cannot remember- we tend to use Rx this only Spring- through early Fall.
Do your pets get along with other dogs? Yes
Name and phone number of your current vet. Dr. Judy Bumbarger
Conover Veterinary Hospital
828-465-5720
There are two other vets at the practice and Martin sees them also.
We received our notice that Martin is due his Dhlp-pv on 2-21- they also check for blood and fecal parasites.
Name and phone number of your current groomer. Misty at the above practice- She is a master groomer and has groomed Martin twice now. I cannot remember her last name.
Under what circumstances would you give up a dog? Re: the previous question- if the dog feels secure in her crate, that is fine- or if she wants to sleep in a dog bed or a human bed- that is ok.
I cannot imagine giving up a dog. I know that there will be several months of adjustment- at least- for a new canine and our family. I still have furniture that Ruger chewed and door frames that Martin chewed- even though there were ample chew options available. Yes we had ”accidents” on the rugs- but it may have been that we missed a signal. We will be responsible for keeping our home on alert for challenges a new dog might have. If a dog became aggressive in an unwarranted situation more than once I would be in call you for assistance.

Questions or Comments
If you have any questions or comments for us please tell us here. Yes- I wanted to share with you that the aluminum fencing that was recently installed was so that Martin and his new friend would be able to run and play games. There is grass around the pool and in the rest of th yard. The pool is surrounded by a textured raised concrete. The fence was completed last week. I had already established a 3’ deep shrub bed with white landscaping stones. I will be doing the same on the other 3 sides as the weather permits. The large tarp that is advertised with an elephant standing on it will not be removed until all new landscaping is completed. I am trying to learn more about a product that meets government standards for child safety that can be put in place and removed in ”10 minutes.” There will be furniture that will also form a reminder/barrier. I would NEVER leave my pets alone outdoors, even with the fencing we have in place.
Terms & Conditions
Do you consent to home visits before and after the adoption? Yes, I consent to home visits.
Return
Are you aware that if you CANNOT keep the Airedale you adopt, you agree that it MUST be returned to the Airedale Rescue Group? Yes, I agree to return the Airedale.
Adoption Fee
Do you agree to the $300 Airedale Rescue Group adoption fee? The adoption fee is due on the day of transfer of the dog to you. Failure to pay the fee will result in ARG submitting claim through the legal system to obtain the adoption, veterinary, grooming and transport fees. Yes, I agree to pay the $300 adoption fee.
Consent
By submitting this form, I certify that the information provided on this form is true and accurate. I am physically, emotionally and financially able to care for an Airedale. I understand that proper food and veterinarian care can be costly and I am able to meet these requirements. Home visits will be conducted prior to and following an adoption to ensure the safe keeping of the dog. ARG reserves the right to decline adoption or reclaim any dog who in our judgment appears abused, unkempt or unsafe or for non-payment of the adoption fee, at any time. Thanks for your help and interest in placing a homeless Airedale.

Hi,
I checked in with Sherry Beebe today about your home visit, and she replied that you have decided to not seek a new rescued dog at this time. Will you confirm that with me directly so I can take your information off our current files.
Of course, if down the road, you are interested again, let me know and we can reactivate your application.

Good morning,
I have not contacted them, since its been ice and snow here this week and I’ve been under the weather with a cold. I did just speak to Steve and he mentioned that he had to told you that they had decided that they didn’t want another rescue at this time. However, I could still come by for a home visit.
He is going to chat with his wife tonight and see if tomorrow afternoon might work. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks

Michele appeared to be more of a poodle person then a dale person. (But looks can be deceiving.) She said she is a clean freak and her condo was definitely cleaner than mine!!! She wants a dale she can bond with and teach/train to do what she wants, so she wants a younger dale. Wants a male if they are the more protective. She knows that getting a dale will motivate her to get out and walk more. There are lots of trails close to her house.
When she was telling me about her past experiences with rescue (welsh terrier, I believe) it sounded like she was in constant contact with rescue asking how to deal with different issues. But that was before face book so she may just write in often for advice.
She is interested in a two year old male she heard about. I explained that just because he is two, it doesn’t mean he is out of the rambunctious stages. She seemed fine with that.
My take is that if she doesn’t get the right dale, we may see it back in rescue. BUT only time will tell!

Hi Barbara
Just wanted to make contact again as I’m still looking for another Airedale. I know it’s hard to keep up with everyone, but I’m in Mooresville, NC just north of Charlotte. If anyone in the area needs some help with saving Airedales, please keep me in mind. Yes I do want another one, but helping place one will be a good thing. I turned off Facebook, so I’m not there anymore.
Thanks
Larson
I may be going to Monroe (about 20 minutes from there) later this week. I’ll call tomorrow with a date and time and you can see if it works for them/him.
Also, 90 minutes in the car is heaven for Woody and I can get a better read on people if I see how they (the dogs and the people) react to each other. I find dogs are great judges of human character.
If later this week is okay for a HV on your end, we can get it done.
Thanks.

Hi,
First, my wife Judy (who suggested I follow up with the folks who wanted to adopt Woody) told me last night that she didn’t want him to go to this family. Her reason was really thin, so I think the real reason is that Woody has worked his way into Judy’s heart and she doesn’t want to give him up. I’m going to give her a week to come to that realization on her own and then talk with her about making our adoption of Woody formal by filling out the ARG forms.
About Ellie, I’m about 90 minutes from McDonough, Ga (see map) and would be happy to do a home visit. Do you know if they have any dogs already? If not, I’ll bring Woody so we can see how they take to each other. I can also go over with them the special rehabilitation needs of dogs like Woody and Ellie. And, with Woody, they can see that dramatic turn arounds can be accomplished.
I would also be happy to work with them (Ellie and the adopters) either by going to the house and/or to be available by phone when they have questions. Where will Ellie be coming from and when might she arrive if the home visit goes well. Just let me know what you’d like me to do.
I’ve done a good job of breaking my Woody video site (I think I accidentally deleted some code) so it may take me a day to fix it.
Thanks.

Morning, Ed. You present an interesting scenario with Woody. We will, of course, be happy to accept the application to adopt an Airedale from your acquaintances and will evaluate it in terms of Woody or another Airedale. Your recommendation carries a lot of weight and your home visit will be sufficient. That said, we would be very happy for Woody to stay with you and Judy if that is what you decide to do. And there’s no pressure to make a decision.
But your last line also is very interesting. We, in the core ARG group, have said many times that we need more “Eds.” We have a 1-year-old girl-dale right now who has spent most of her life in a crate, who was taught nothing, was not socialized with other dogs or humans. She is with Barbara Yager being fostered and has learned a few manners, but she needs the kind of intensive training that few can provide. We have a potential applicant, but we have not made a final decision. In fact, you might be able to help us with a home visit for the man. I can’t remember the name of the town where you are in GA. Is it close to McDonough, GA? We can’t find anyone there to do a home visit.
We do not have many Airedales available for adoption right now: the girl I mention above, Ellie; a 2-year-old female, Sophie (not in our possession yet but coming in soon); and an older female, Maddie, who has been in a foster home since July (and may end up staying there?).
We await your newest video to see that wonderful Woody, the perpetual motion machine.
Thanks, Ed. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
A couple of things about Woody.
First, I’m in the process of uploading new video to his page ( http://www.petadoptionvideos.com/woody_video.html ), but seem to have screwed up my code. May wait till tomorrow to fix it.
Second, my wife Judy takes Woody and his poodle pal to her Jazzercise class (they wait in the car). Apparently Woody’s been working the crowd and all the women pet him through the window before they go. One of the women knew of a family that was looking to adopt a dog and gave them Judy’s number.
They have had rescue dogs for years and lost their 12-year old Dalmatian recently. They other dog is also older (13?) and just sits on the porch watching the world go by. Last year, their son had to move and they took in his 5-year, female, pit bull mix. Problem is that she wants to play and the old dog wants no part of it.
I took Woody over for a play date last week and they seemed to get along. I told them that I had not decided to give Woody up for adoption and was still considering what would be best for Woody. That is still where I am.
They understand that anything that happens with Woody has to go through the Airedale Rescue Group and they plan to fill out an adoption form shortly. They would love to have Woody, but they could also be a good home for another Airedale when the time comes.
Meanwhile, I’m going to meet Steve Ragsdale and Bella (their dog) at a dog park this week end as part of Woody’s ongoing rehabilitation. So far he gets along with every dog he’s met and the dog park might be a good way for him to get more exercise, without me having to as well.
I’ve told Steve that he should go to your site to get more information and that the process might require a home visit from someone else from ARG (not sure if my visit counts since I’m involved). They have a good sized, fenced in, back yard and a doggie door. They (husband and wife with grand kids over a lot) love dogs and are nuts about Woody, but I think another Airedale with Woody’s temperament might also work for them. (Not sure what your adoption inventory is now). The 10-year old grandson and Woody were glued together for most of the visit.
So, all this is just fyi. Nothing has changed since our last emails. Judy and I are still crazy about Woody and my only remaining reservation is the trips I make to Florida every few weeks where I’m building our new permanent house. As you will see when I get the new video posted, Woody has become a perpetual motion machine who plays whenever he’s awake – though he is perfectly behaved and responds immediately to commands. He really wants to please and play.
I do also wonder, whether I should be using the skills I’ve acquired to get other Airedales ready for forever homes, is and when the need arises. As you know, I feel fulfilled by working with more difficult cases.
Thanks.
Ed
I think Ellie has the most potential for agility or speedball because she’s incredibly smart, she’s absolutely cued on me, she can be obedient. I will not pet her less she sits and so she’s learned that command. I can also say she’s spent a lot of energy in the backyard by playing with the tennis ball or the small soccer ball. She’s less than wonderful on the leash but at least I don’t feel like she’s a rearing horse anymore. I’d say that’s amazing progress for couple of days.
The one thing I would caution is that she howls like a beagle. So not every night; not every day, but that would be quite annoying for apartment or condo dweller.
She has also stated only dog.
Knowing the little that we do…..oh wait, that’s why we did not start a thread on her, we never got the surrender form! To clarify, a form was completed and signed and is MIA at Cyns. I know from her previous home, she was around 6 yr old girl, she spent 20 hrs a day in crate and she is age 1.
Let me gauge Erin. Meanwhile, Jackie had a great list of potential adopter for girls a few days ago.

Andrea…..
I can make that offer. However she had 3 Airedales in her apartment and she is only allowed 2. She found a male dale recently on the ‘sly’ and she has been strategically taking only 2 out at a time. I don’t know how much longer she could keep that up.

Have not had a chance to chat with you all about Ellie.
We had some folks who wanted girl dales and we have 2.
I think the first thing is to get agreement from Erin.
