(Phoenix, Arizona)

6-1-2023. ADOPTED

******

Daisy is a people loving Airedale. She has not lived with children, but loves everyone.  She is 4.5 years old (5 on August 18), 65#, house trained, can be left alone in the house, loves walks (pulls, especially when she sees people to greet) and has some basic obedience.  She loves playing fetch in her back yard with balls and toys. Daisy was surrendered because she was aggressive with the small dogs in the home. She would love to be your only pet, but might be okay with a non-jealous large dog of similar temperament. Introductions would be necessary. Daisy is in the Phoenix, Arizona, area.

Daisy has been adopted.

Trigger Is a 3 year old neutered male.  He was a “Covid baby” very much loved and spoiled by his working-at-home parents, but not trained at all.

When the human baby arrived, the parents no longer had the time to pay attention to Trigger.  When the baby started toddling around, Trigger growled at it.  He was very thin when he arrived in rescue, which might have had something to do with his behavior, besides the lack of training.  He is very food motivated and needs to learn to take treats gently.

Trigger lived with another dog and a cat, with no apparent problems.

Here is our trainer’s evaluation of Trigger:

Energy level:  Hyper, no self-control:

Meeting new people: Trigger’s initial approach was happy excited, vocal and at the end of leash only on back two feet. Would’ve jumped on me if I let him. Vocalization stopped once he reached me. It only took him a couple minutes to lose interest in me and start pulling to check out his next adventure.

His approach to the two children (5 and 7 yrs old) was allowed after spending 5 minutes with me. He saw them the entire time and wanted to approach them. I allowed him to approach the boys and he was happy, didn’t jump. Didn’t show any issues while they were petting him, the boys ran past him, his body language stayed happy Airedale during this session.

Handling:  Allows full body contact, mostly affectionate: I pulled on his tail with no reaction. Gently touched his ears, tech mentioned he may have ear infection, he gave me eye contact and moved away.

While rubbing him down he got wiggly and excited.

Treats and Food: Needs work on taking treats. Seems to be very food motivate. Should be fed with a slow feeder. Did not test any items of high value.

Obedience: Basic obedience would be recommended. He seems to know Sit/Stay and shake. He has no focus and didn’t respond to his name. Typical Airedale without training.

Trigger needs a family with a fenced yard and a family committed to teaching him to be the great Airedale he should be.   No small children.

** PUPDATE: THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN ANDY…WE HAVE RECEIVED A GREAT RESPONSE AND WILL NOT ACCEPT FURTHER APPLICATIONS FOR ANDY AT THIS TIME TO GIVE US TIME TO CHECK OUT THE POTENTIAL HOMES. **

Andy is living in a Southwest Airedale Terrier Rescue foster home in Phoenix, Arizona. Only families in the Phoenix metro area will be considered. Please read entire listing before contacting us.

Andy is a four month old puppy. As with all puppies, he has loads of energy but has a fairly mild temperament. He gets along with other dogs, walks fairly well on a leash and is partially house trained.

We don’t know the puppy’s parentage. His adult size could be anything from 55 lbs. to 100 lbs.

Our puppies are family pets that live inside of the family home.

Puppies are only placed in homes with a youthful, adult resident dog of at least medium size that will play gently, but actively, with the puppy. This gives the puppy a mentor and a solid foundation for becoming part of the family.

Puppies are only adopted to a family where the applicant is at home at least part of the day. If no adult is home for 6-8 hours at a time, please do not apply.

Puppies will not be placed where there are small children in the home. Older children who are respectful of a dog’s boundaries will be considered, but please remember that Airedale puppies have very sharp teeth and nothing within reach is off limits from play or chewing.

The family will need to start basic training immediately.

Preference is always given to those with Airedale experience.

Applicants must have secure, visible fencing and a socialization and training plan in place.

Applicant’s current pets must be up to date on vaccines & heartworm/flea prevention and be altered.

The puppy will be placed under a foster-to-adopt contract until he is old enough to be neutered, which will be done at Southwest Airedale Terrier Rescue’s expense, by their vet.

To be considered for this puppy, fill out an application. Adoption is not first come, first served. Southwest Airedale Terrier Rescue and its fosters work diligently to find the right fit for each and every unique dog and puppy.

Adoption fee: $450
