Abby Date of Birth November 2002 Weighs 79 pounds Airedale@frontiernet.net

Hello friends, Dear Abby here. Yes, the Dear Abby that you used to write to for advice on matters of the heart, health and life in general. Now it is my turn to write to you as I need your help. Recently I found myself in a new home called Camp Lackner. My previous family felt I needed more attention than what they could give due to the demands of their jobs and children.
I have been at Camp Lackner for several months now and they adore me and I adore them. I just love humans but I don't love other dogs. My foster Mom wishes I liked other dogs as she has several of her own and it would make life easier if I got along with everyone. I love to give kisses and get belly rubs. They have lots of toys for me to play with and I just surround myself with all of them. I especially like the cube that I can push around on the floor and sometimes food magically falls out for me to munch on. I have great house manners so I do not need to stay in one of those crates while the humans are at work. I LOVE to go for walks and I walk nice with a gentle leader. No that is not the human with me, it is something that I wear as an accessory to my leash and collar. A girl can not have too many things, now can she. After the walk I sit pretty and take treats so nicely and then of course ask for a belly rub.
I am in good health except for one hip. My right hip does not work right and I will require FHO surgery, which ATRA will pay for. But after the surgery and rehab I will be back to my old self. I do have a slight incontinence problem but I am on daily medication for that condition. I am looking for a new home where I can be lavished with love by humans. I want to be the Queen Bee all the time so I don't like to live with any other dogs. Do you think you can help out your Dear Abby friend?
If you are looking for a well-trained super Airedale, Jack is the dale for you. Jack is a young 7 1/2 years of age, large male weighing in at 95 pounds. Jack's special talent is upland game and duck hunting. In fact he has many titles under his belt including Master Tracker. Jack is a fabulous hunting dog but equally fabulous as a great pet. He his house trained, crate trained and loves children. He loves people but is leary of strangers, especially those wearing uniforms.
Every year, for various reasons, many Airedale Terriers in this country find themselves in need of new homes. Sometimes they are lost or abandoned. Most often, however, these dogs are unwanted simply because they have become inconvenient for their owners. It might be a new baby, a move, a new spouse, a divorce, a new house, a new job. Usually, these life changes are no reflection on the dogs, but they are easily disposable in our fast-paced society.
Good, reliable breeders accept responsibility for dogs they produce and take back if they need help, re-evaluating and placing them in suitable new homes. Irresponsible breeders fail to live up to their end of the bargain and don't care what happens to their puppies once they are sold. Some dogs' backgrounds are never known, but good bloodlines run through many "Rescue Dogs".
So many of the Airedales are handsome, frequently under long, matted coats. And each one can shine, in both spirit and appearance, with grooming. The transformation is astounding. Even more impressive are their temeraments-most often very appreciative of at last ending up in the hands of 'Airedale People' who understand them.
Adoptive homes are carefully screened to insure this will be the dog's final home. Airedale Rescue appreciates help of any kind - from adoptive homes to foster homes.
