Available Airedales
Gracie, 9 yo Airedale (fostered in Huntington, WV)
Introducing birthday girl Gracie, who just turned 9! She's a beautiful, happy, sweet, petite lass weighing 45 lbs (although she could stand to gain 5-10lbs). She was/is dearly loved but ended up in rescue after a fight with a Yorkie. Despite that, she is happily living with our other foster Remi with no problems. In fact, Gracie and Remi trade dog bowls while eating. She met foster Mom's other dogs without an incident...so clearly being with dogs her size or larger does not pose a problem. She also previously lived with a cat. She met a cat at the vet and did fine. Therefore she may be good with other cats. She lived with children too!
She is spayed, vaccinations current, HW/Lyme/Ehrlichia negative, de-wormed and microchipped. She had a lump removed which turn out to be a benign sebaceous cyst and had her teeth cleaned (otherwise in good shape).
She adores attention and will give you love in return. As you can see, Gracie has allot of energy, loves to be with you while you are doing gardening chores, especially if you stop and give her some scratches and pets. She is house trained. She does not counter-surf. She "sings" when she eats and talks!
Although we will not place her with tiny dogs like Yorkies, she seems to do very well with dogs around her size or larger, both male & female. In fact, one of foster Mom's female dogs growled at Gracie and Gracie simply turned around and walked away. It will be important that she meets the resident dog before adoption IF the home already has one. She does have a penchant for paper & dryer sheets. So if you have papers, manuscripts or magazines lying around, be forewarned.
Gracie is a lover...are you ready for Gracie to jin your home?
Remember, age is but a number, not an indication of the energy, love, or joy Gracie will give you.

C. Remington Airedale, Esq. (fostered in Huntington, WV) ADOPTION PENDING!
Yes, that is my name. It is a mouthful, so you can call me Remi. What does the “C” stand for???? Clyde.
I don’t know how old I am since I don’t know my birthday or even what a birthday is. The Vet says I am no older than 2. I ended up in a shelter as a stray and a nice group of ladies rescued me. I am a “velcro” sensitive, sweet dog and love to stick close to your side. I am starved for affection. I can be exuberant & playful too. When I get excited, I jump up and I was caught counter surfing the other day.
I like dogs and will back away if one growls at me. I am a lover, not a fighter. I enjoy playing with other dogs. Cats. What are those? I don't know if I like them or not. Foster Mom has a horse and 2 donkeys. I leave them alone. They are giant compared to me. My momma did not raise a fool.
Here is my vital medical information. I am 51 lbs. My physical examination showed I am healthy along with pearly white teeth. I was tested for heartworm, lyme, and ehrlichiosis and was NEGATIVE. My poop was checked too and besides being a bit aromatic it was also negative for worms. My shots are current and I was neutered (no fun but necessary).
I walk nicely on a leash…well, I tend to lag behind a bit. I have not seen a squirrel on the walk yet, so I am not sure what I would do. AM I house trained? Well, this is embarrassing. Probably not completely yet. I walked into the garage the other day and peed on the resident Airedale’s bed. Not cool if you want to play with her. BUT I spent a couple hours inside with foster mom and I did not pee! So I am learning. It won’t take me long. For now, when indoors, I wear a belly band (yes, a male canine diaper—shhh it’s embarrassing). Here is some more info (foster Mom learns something new everyday). I was not scared of the dryer, even with hard balls tumbling in it, I'm not afraid of popcorn popping in the microwave, nor of thunderstorms. Although I did trot over to foster Mom when a hickory nut hit the skylight. I climbed up the stairs but but was initially scared to go back down. Foster Mom sat with me and later I conquered going up & down the stairs.
I never had a bath before and found that process very very scary. They clipped my hair while I was knocked out after my neuter. That is another thing that I will learn. You just have to go slow. Probably sponge baths at first. Foster mom said I bucked like a bronco but never showed my teeth. Why would I? I was not mad. I was scared.
Am I a purebred Airedale? Maybe and if so, not well bred. I may be one of those "red" Airedales. Here is a website about them: http://www.hkairedales.com/Red_Airedale_Photos.htm Foster Mom said I had a black saddle until they gave me a haircut. I guess it ended up on the floor with the rest of my hair. Below are some before & after photographs. It is always possible that a ways back someone else snuck in. Did I mention I have a "natural" tail? My foster Mom says my personality is 100% Airedale.
My perfect home: A traditionally fenced yard. No e-fence as I am likely to run out and be too afraid to ever come back. Someone home more than not so we can get this house training business perfected and I LOVE attention. A home where jumping up will not be a detriment. I don't want to knock you down. Another dog is nice but not necessary. If I am an only, I can have all the attention with you. Kids are okay. Cats…don’t know so to be safe, no cats. Take me on car rides and go on adventures. But most of all…a family who will love me because I promise to love them back.
