Available Airedales
Addy, 6 yo non-Airedale **ADOPTION PENDING**
Hello, my name is Adelaide, or Addie for short. I am ~ 6 yo and 33-35lbs. I’m sure you’re looking at my photo and wondering what I’m doing on ATRVA’s website since I’m not a purebred Airedale. I probably don’t have any Airedale in me at all. Well, the nice ladies with ATRVA came to my rescue when they received a call about me. I had been in a very bad, hoarding situation. I lived with another dog and 50 cats when the local shelter saved us. I had a terrible skin condition and was bald over half my body. Thanks to the great care at 2 foster homes, my hair grew back and I have a beautiful coat!
What am I? I am gorgeous and some sort of herding dog mix. Here are some of the possibilities and why: Australian Shepherd, Shetland Sheepdog, Corgi, Keeshond. When I play, I herd and nip at the other dogs' legs to start play or chase.
My 1st foster family had 3 sons, 2 dogs (a male Airedale and a female Bull Terrier), cats, horses, chickens and pigs. They did the hard work of fixing my skin problems with weekly baths, medicines and supplements. I was briefly adopted but it just did not work at her home. Although I was fostered with dogs, I did not get along with the adopter's dog. I returned back to Virginia and this time to my foster home in The Plains, VA. Foster Mom has 2 Airedales (one young & playful and the other older and quite grumpy). I play with them and also the other dogs that she either fostered or dog-sat (mainly girls). Cats are okay since I lived with so many, although I will give chase if they run. I am a huntress too and caught some varmints (mice).
I am timid at first and will need time to feel safe & comfortable with the new family or guests. Once I do, I will cuddle. When I want attention, I will walk up & "tap" with my paw. My foster mom says I am a sweetheart.
Yes, I am house trained, like walking on the leash and enjoy riding in the car. I am up to date on all of my shots, am heartworm negative and take my monthly heartworm pill. Oh, she also wants you to know that I’m not a shedder! She brushes me to keep my coat looking so pretty.
She’s going to miss me but says I deserve a family of my very own. I would enjoy another dog to play with but being an only would be fine too. Small children who run around and make noise can be unnerving (although I did fine with a 3 yo during my freedom ride from Georgia).
Are you my family?
