Posts by Starting Over Airedale Rescue

We lost our 13 and a half Duke this past week. He was an Airedale of many talents. He brought in the morning newspaper and promptly delivered it to his “dad”. His internal clock would go off when it was about time for his Sarah’s special transportation bus to show up and when it did,…

In honor of Donald (Gene) McMain, a kind and loving person who loved his family including furkids, Hannah, Mikayla, and Gracie. I’m sure Jackson will be awaiting his arrival in Heaven. The worst he was guilty of was slipping treats under the table to his beloved Airedales! Donald was the father of my forever friend,…

Dira was a very little Airedale, only 40 pounds, with a very big heart and attitude. She came to me from Nancy Secrist, the owner of Seneca Airedales, who had imported her and her litter mate from Germany for her excellent breeding program. But Dira was a very smart little doggy and refused to get…

Our dear friend and co-worker, Claudia Elston passed away suddenly on November 27th of 2015. Claudia had an Airedale named Stewart, which she adored with all her heart. She had all kinds of stories about Stewart, from digging his way to China in her backyard, eating her wall, and driving her around in a car. Claudia was kind, funny,…

Charlotte crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. I held her close, I kissed her face, I scratched her all over, and tried to burn all the specialness of her earthly body into my memory. My little hoppy girl started to slow down a few weeks ago. On Sunday she fell down the stairs. We took…

I recently lost Callie, a Wire Fox Terrier, on December 26, 2014 and many of my friends gathered around me for support during this time. Callie had many friends, not only Wires and Welshies, but Airedales as well. We would like to give a little something back. In Memory of Callie and her Airedale buddies. Thank you, Nonie Gramlich

Breezie had ACL surgery three years ago. It was a bad injury not attended to by her former owner. She fell a lot, but she was queen, and lived more than three great years here. She came from a shelter, found tied to the gate at night with a note stating, “We don’t want her anymore.” She was…

The grandma of Jake Sprankle, will be seeing him again, this time running after a cat or snatching food off the counter as he once did. Grammy Betty who verbally expressed her dislike for dogs, routinely would call Jake and ask him to come over to her house as she had just baked him some…

Dear Ms. O’Shaughnessy, Beatrice came to us as “Belle,” a huge 90+ pound, furry Airedale (who I’m not sure had ever been groomed) with very few manners and that strong Airedale attitude. She had bounced from several homes, though her exact path was unclear. I know that she broke through fences, attacked small dogs, and spent most…
