Relinquishing your Airedale
ATRVA understands that life circumstances change. Whatever the precipitating reason, making the decision to give up your dog is difficult. Through our careful adoption process, our Rescue will locate a safe and loving new home for your Airedale Terrier.
Although we are a purebred rescue, we do help Airedale mixes when we have available foster homes. Please reach out as we can also direct you to other possibilities.
If you have decided to surrender your dog: First contact the breeder if you signed a contract to return the dog to that breeder.
To place a dog with ATRVA, you must live in Virginia or West Virginia. If you live in another area of the country or Canada, we can direct you to the appropriate group.
If the dog is to come into Airedale Rescue:
ATRVA will not share information regarding the name and location of either the surrendering owner or the adoptive owner, unless permission is given by both parties.
Please contact us for more information.

If the dog is to come into Airedale Rescue:
- ATRVA requires that ownership be legally signed over to ATRVA at the time of transfer.
- Copies of all related records should be given to ATRVA: veterinarian history, AKC registration, etc.
- If possible, the dog should be spayed or neutered prior to placement and brought up-to-date with vaccinations.
- A contribution toward the expenses of finding the dog a new home is very welcome. For example: a month’s supply of food, an Airedale-sized crate, monetary donation, etc.
ATRVA will not share information regarding the name and location of either the surrendering owner or the adoptive owner, unless permission is given by both parties.
