Posts by Starting Over Airedale Rescue

First of all I would like to thank everyone who is involved in Airedale Rescue. It takes certain people to be able to do this – ones with big hearts. Personal thank yous goes out to Lynn O’Shaughnessy for handling the adoption of Murphy. Barbara from Toronto, Ontario in helping us locate Murphy and to Murphy’s…

Moose is doing wonderful! He is so good with the boys. He must have been a lady’s dog because ever since we brought him home he is very partial to me, even though he was suppose to be my husband’s dog. He follows me around the house from room to room when I put the…

Minnie has learned a lot from watching her big sister and big brother in her new home when she was adopted…and she is doing very well. She has figured out if she licks me during the night I will get up and let her out, but it is not because she needs to handle her business, she wants…

UPDATE – November/December 2013 Jack and Merrillee rescued a 2-year old chocolate lab on July 4 whom we named JD. Merrillee picked him out! They are best buddies. She is just becoming taller than him, although it could be because she has such a mass of long waves of shiny black hair! She weighs 55 pounds and…

Susan Fox Rescuing my first dog, a Dachshund, when I was eight years old changed my life forever. As inconceivable is it sounds, I knew something special had just happened. I also knew I was destined to help other animals. Having worked in all facets of rescue and with various groups of people, I’ve found…

My name is Sara Trippe and I live in the north metro area of Minnesota. I am married to Pete and have three daughters named MacKenzie, Ella and Madelyn. You may remember MacKenzie from her Firstgiving Page. I am also owned by one female rescue Airedale named Rorie Bell and two male Wire Fox Terriers…

But with all the wonderful people…Airedale and non-Airedale people alike…helping and providing their valuable time to support our cause, we hope we do not let any…

It all began with an Airedale named Luna. She was a kennel mate of our current ‘dale, Britta, one of 27 dogs rescued by a humane society in 2013. Sadly, Luna’s first placement was far from ideal, and when I met her in November 2014, she was in great physical distress, and needed urgent medical…

I never experienced the exquisite intensity of unconditional love until I adopted my 6-year-old Maltese, Mini, in 2014. Having grown up in an “allergic” household, we had no pets, and owning one never occurred to me. I was a born writer. Words are my passion and were my profession. A journalism graduate, I’ve been a…

I’ve been involved with SOAR since its inception, and part of the reason for my dedication to this caring and committed organization is a woman named Lynn O. I love her drive, her devotion and her determination. I also happen to be mad about Airedales. For me, life isn’t life without a wonderful, wooly and…
