Meet Benny, he’s a sweet and loving 6-year-old neutered male Airedale, with a natural tail, who loves adventures and going on walks. He likes most dogs, loves chasing squirrels, chickens and small animals and thinks that cats are squeaky toys. He really enjoys going for rides in cars and sticking his head out the window. Benny would do best in a home with a family that is home with him most of the time and won’t leave him out in the yard unattended (he is Houdini in disguise). He loves being with people and prefers adults and kids over 12. Benny is being fostered in Utah and is up to date on all vaccinations.
Meet Addison aka Addy. Addy is a sweet, fun, and loving 3-year-old who needs to be the only dog in the home. She has a high prey drive and loves to chase cats, birds, chickens, or anything that moves quickly. She loves playing with toys and balls. She knows some basic commands and walks well on a leash. Addy is very energetic and needs to be walked at least once a day, although twice a day would be the better. She would do best in a home with no children or older children as she is very mouthy and jumps up when meeting people. Addy needs a home that has the time to work on socialization and training.
Addy is being fostered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Only families in the Salt Lake area and the greater Wasatch front will be considered.
If you are interested in adopting Addy please complete an adoption application.

ADOPTED! Moose is an energetic, 1-2 year old Airedale mix that weighs about 59 lbs. He loves going for rides in the car and for walks. He is super sweet and loves to cuddle. He is crate trained and house trained. He enjoys being wherever his people are and loves chasing and playing with toys, leaves, sticks, and more.
He would do best in an active home without small children. He cannot be in a home with cats, small dogs or other small animals. He is still learning how to walk nicely on a leash and gets very excited to see other dogs. He does have some food guarding and toy sharing struggles.
Moose came into rescue because his first family abandoned him, and the family that found him at a warehouse couldn’t handle his energy and didn’t have time to train him.
Moose is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.
ADOPTED!!
Moose is being fostered in Salt Lake City, UT.

Ajax is a smaller Airedale, approximately 1 year old, neutered, and a happy, energetic boy puppy. He loves going on walks and chasing any ball that is thrown or moving. He is excited about everything all of the time and wants to be loved and petted. We don’t know much about Ajax as he came to rescue as a stray. Ajax would do best in a home without small children or small pets as he is very mouthy and loves to chase small things (cats and squirrels especially). He would be great with an active family who enjoys keeping Ajax’s mind and body engaged in fun and rewarding activities.
Ajax is being fostered in Salt Lake City, UT. ADOPTED

UPDATE: ADOPTED! *** We are currently discussing Darby with one of our approved applicants to see if they might be the perfect home for Darby. If you might be interested, please let us know. If you don’t have an application on file, that is the first step in the adoption process. Darby is currently in the Phoenix area and we prefer to place in the Phoenix or Tucson areas, if possible.
Darby is 4 years old, is 67 lbs. (should be closer to 60 lbs). She has been well taken care of all her life. Her mom had to have serious surgery and made the sad decision that Darby needed a new family.
Darby is sweet with people .. a typical energetic rambunctious youngster. She appears to be non-reactive to other dogs, so hopefully not too hard to walk. She was an only dog, but frequently visited a family member with a male dog her size and was fine with him. She showed a little too much unhealthy interest in the kitty at the vet and has not lived with cats.
Darby has not lived with children, but is reported to be fine with the visiting grandchildren.
Darby is spayed and microchipped, does not have heartworm, tick fever or Valley Fever and is up to date on all her vaccinations.

Murphy has a very high energy level, as all 1 year old Airedales do. He needs a lot of exercise, at least 1 to 2 hours a day.
Murphy is very sweet, and has had some obedience training, which , for the most part he considers an academic subject rather than a skill for practical application .
Murphy likes to play rough with other dogs and would not be a suitable companion for small or old dogs or other small animals. Murphy has not lived with children. He would probably be fine with older well trained children, but would not be suitable for a family with young children living in the home.
Murphy belonged to an Airedale-experienced man who thought that he had the time for a young Airedale. Unfortunately, due to his job and travel, he had to leave Murphy far too often and realized that it was not fair to Murphy.
Murphy is a great young Airedale who will need a fenced yard to run in, people who are home most of the time, have Airedale experience, will be firm and consistent and have the time to continue his training.
If you have already completed an application and are interested in learning more about Murphy, contact Rose and let her know that you have submitted an application. 623-362-1141 Please leave a message. Rose returns calls in the evenings or on the weekends.

—He can be reactive when first meeting other dogs.
—He is a high energy dog and would love an active home.
—He seems to be house trained (very few mistakes in his kennel)

Azzie has two balls that we play with: a tennis ball and a blue rubber ball. The blue rubber ball bounces out of control when he tries to drop it. He figured out that if he places it gently on top of the table it stays put so that I can get it and toss it again. Smart Cookie!! So that is what he is doing in the above picture. I can guarantee he will be very good at counter surfing when he has a chance!
Missy is a BIG beautiful Airedale girl (75#). Sadly, at the age of 7 years, she lost the only home she had known because one of her owners died and the other had to move into a home where Missy was not welcome. She is very affectionate and loves meeting new people. She is easy to walk and doesn’t react to other dogs. She loves to play with other dogs and is a noisy player.
She loves playing with toys. She would like you to throw them for her and play tug. Typical of most Airedales, she does not fetch! She loves to have you spray her with water. She wants to grab the hose, so you need to toss a toy to keep her from doing that. She may like swimming (we don’t have a pool to test that).
She is playful, but calm. She is fostered with other Airedales and someone who is home most of the time, but we believe she would probably be fine on her own during the day if you work as long as you have the time before and after work to give her lots of attention. She would probably be fine with older children who know how to treat an older gal gently.
Missy is sensitive about having her feet and hind end touched by strangers. Now that she has gotten to know her foster mom, she LOVES being massaged, but you need to let vets and groomers know they should be cautious.
Missy is currently located in Tucson, Arizona. She is spayed, housebroken, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. She requires medication for spay incontinence.
UPDATE: ADOPTED
ADOPTED!
