Meet our Airedales and Fall in Love
~2-3 yo Watson, fostered in The Plains, VA: ADOPTION PENDING!
|
Meet Watson! Waiting for his Sherlock. For companionship, fun, adventure--and maybe to help solve the mystery of how a lovely dog like this ended up as a stray in a Virginia shelter?!
Watson is around 2-3 yo, so, full grown at 50 pounds. Although not 100% Airedale, he doesn’t shed—a good thing, as loves to get pets and pats and cuddles. When he first came into Rescue, he was a shy, cautious boy who trusted dogs. He was adopted but despite the family's efforts, he became more shy and fearful of going outside or inside. Plus he turned up Heartworm positive despite an initial negative blood test on intake. Watson returned to ATRVA. His foster Mom and her Vet anticipated that he made need medication to overcome his shyness. But he did not! His foster Mom has a houseful of dogs (hers and another foster) and he quickly came out of his shell. He now realizes that there are good, loving humans. He just wants one of his own. He is willing to share with another dog—he gets along well with other dogs and would appreciate the company if his human is away from the house during the day. It is best that someone is home much of the time if there is no resident dog. He successfully completed the lengthy HW treatment! He is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He has the cutest Fu-Manchu beard too. To sweeten the deal, he tries to make life with him as easy as possible: house trained, gentle on a leash, loves to ride in the car, but will chill in his crate if his human has human stuff to take care of. But if you are ready for fun and snuggles “the game is afoot!” Questions? Interested? Simply contact on our website and will connect you with his foster Mom.
