DOGS needing foster homes

1-23-2012: GG arrived safely at Hooligan House and is settling down. She is going to need a lot of TLC and gentleness and consistency during her rehab. We don't think she had ever been inside a house before she came to us. She is very shy and startles at the slightest movement or noise. But she already knows her name and she comes to me when I call her quietly and hold out my hand. Next we start working on house training. Her spay is scheduled for this Thursday. If anyone can donate towards that surgery, we would appreciate any amount at all. Here's a photo of GG! She's a real sweetie!

Find out how to help GG by emailing Muriel at: alairedales@gmail.com

1-20-2012 UPDATE!
Our grrl in Guntersville is beginning her trip to Mobile this morning. With the help of two wonderful Volunteer chauffeurs, Danielle from Florence and Michelle from Fairhope, "GG" will arrive on the coast at approximately 5 pm this afternoon. Check back here for updates on GG's evaluation and foster placement.

Currently, we are working to bring GG to her foster home in south Alabama. She is in a shelter in the northern part of the state, and needs donations for gas money, a leash and a harness, and her adoption fee. If you can donate any amount at all to help GG travel south, please email us as soon as possible: alairedales@gmail.com

"GG" was picked up on the street in Guntersville, AL. She appears to be about 4 and 1/2 years old. She needs to be spayed and vetted. We don't know any of her history, and we are anxious to get her safely to her foster home so that her rehabilitation can begin. Can you help?

Airedales Rock!

Sometimes, they literally rock. And roll. They are the most happy go lucky, hail fellow well met, best friend forever, stay the heck away from my treat dogs you'll ever meet. But they aren't a perfect dog for every family. ARC exists to help rescued Airedales in Alabama find and get to their forever homes.

Animal lovers are notorious for falling in love with movie dogs, dogs in commercials, dogs that win Best in Show, and dogs that look: a) cute; b) unusual; c) handsome; d) regal. Too many pet owners don't research the breed of dog they've fallen for, to be sure they will be fit companions for each other. The result is that millions of great dogs end up in shelters through no fault of their own.

Although they are known for being hyperactive, boisterous, stubborn and demanding, Airedales can be terrific canine companions for people who appreciate challenges and humor and sarcasm in their canines. Airedales are thinking dogs, and they expect their humans to be thinkers, too. Being in synch with an Airedale Terrier is a delightful experience beyond description.

If you've known other terrier-ists but never met an Airedale... well, it's kind of like a Jack Russell Terrier put into a 55 pound or bigger body. Definitely not a dog for a meek, mild human or for a human who doesn't want a committed relationship. Definitely NOT.
