Meet our Airedales and Fall in Love
NIGEL, 2.5 yo Airedale-Golden Retriever mix:
fostered near Fredericksburg, VA
Meet Nigel! A mature, well-adjusted, and sweet 3-yr-old Airedale/Golden Retriever mix. Weighing in at 50 lbs, Nigel has a very calm demeanor, loves to walk or hike at least once a day, very good with a bath and regular hair brushing, and will snuggle with anyone who is available. His shedding isn’t bad considering his coat is primarily Golden… when brushed regularly, his coat is maintainable with typical Golden shedding.
Nigel cannot live with cats or other small pets - he has a strong prey drive and the squirrels in the yard need to get moving fast! Nigel is a good partner to another medium to large dog, but would also be fine with life as an only dog.
Nigel is most at peace with a quiet, calm household, although he lived with a young child & 4 house cats. Probably the cats drove his previous anxiety but we think he is best suited with children 10 years & older. He is very eager to please on-leash & responds promptly to basic commands as long as a squirrel isn’t in sight.
You will never be lonely with Nigel in your life - he is attentive, sweet, and interested in being part of your pack.
His vaccines are current, neutered, microchipped and is HW negative.
He is fostered near Fredericksburg, VA. Questions? Want to adopt? Please complete our online application.

CROSSPOST: Sam is not with ATRVA. He is with the from Highland Co Humane Society in Monterey VA -A small, foster-run rescue in the rural western mountains of Virginia. They have asked for help in finding his forever home!
He is a gentle sweet soul. Check out his tiny beard!
Sam is a 53 lb, 3yr Airedale x Hound mix who was surrendered in September by a local bear hunter. Sam was born at his place and unfortunately never socialized and chained out. Likely he was not a good hunting dog, leading to his relinquish.
Sam is neutered, fully vetted, microchipped, and good with dogs. Sam is house trained and is in a wonderful foster home with other dogs. That has helped with his shyness. He loves dogs, females especially, and is allowing the foster dad to interact with him some.
