NOTES:
From the 1995 ATCA Official Membership Roster & Information
Booklet:
"It amazes us how many of these unwanted dogs are absolutely
beautiful--often under long and matted coats. We are equally
impressed that their temperaments are most often sweet and
appreciative of our attentions, with no adverse effects from the
ordeals they must have endured. Although the origins of many of
these dogs remains unknown, we all too often discover that some
Airedales purchased in pet shops are not far removed from some of
the breed's top dogs and bloodlines.
Airedales for adoption are kept in foster homes. During the time it
takes to find the right home, they are evaluated for temperament
and personality. Dogs of questionable temperament are euthanized.
All dogs are neutered or spayed, given all shots that are due,
tested for heartworm, treated for internal and external parasites
when necessary, and properly groomed and bathed."
Contact any of the above for more regional contacts. Also, check
the Rescue FAQ for more contacts.
If you are interested in providing FOSTER CARE, please contact the
regional coordinator nearest you.
