Brought up to date on shots and
Carefully evaluated for temperament & personality in order to be matched with an appropriate home and
Prospective adopters must be thoroughly screened and evaluated for a suitable Airedale and
All rescue dogs must be placed as house dogs with a securely fenced yard.
Any exceptions to the above policy based on special circumstances in the best interest of the rescue dog must be set out in writing in the adoption contract and are subject to review by the Committee.
