Sassy & Clint: A Tale of Two Airedales fostered in Huntington, WV
The Tale of Two Airedales
Sassy & Clint are both 6 yo purebred Airedales who were previously used for breeding. Both are looking for their forever home preferably together or separately with another dog. Individually they are very shy & skittish of people, but together they are playful, eager to seek humans and get attention.
Medically, both dogs are healthy. Sassy weighs 80 lbs and Clint 85 lbs. Both are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, Heartworm/Ehrlichia/Anaplasmosis negative and microchipped. Sassy tested + for Lyme and is asymptomatic. She is completing a 30 day course with Doxycycline. Clint was Lyme negative.
Clint met 2 children today at the vet and was content. Sassy has not met children. Given their shyness and their sizes, a quiet home or a home with older children would be best. Both have met cats and show NO interest in the cats!
They have quirks too.
Before Clint arrived, Sassy preferred to eat without humans present (except for canned food). However, now Sassy will eat when people are present but often leaves her bowl to get attention. Clint gobbles his food. Clint also prefers to drink water outside. One way around that is putting water with his meals.
They are housetrained but will likely have mistakes at the beginning.
Sassy & Clint are not technically bonded. They entered rescue at different times. Clint was adopted but when his new owner developed a life-threatening illness, he was returned. She is too sick despite wanting to keep Clint & continue working with him.
Our dream placement is that they are adopted by the same family. That is a big ask and may not be possible. Otherwise their home must have a 2nd dog. The home must either have a secure traditional fence OR no fence. An e-fence will simply not contain them. They will need on-going leash work and we highly recommend obedience classes.
