Posts by Starting Over Airedale Rescue

I can’t imagine not being involved in rescue. Since Airedales cannot speak for themselves, we have to speak for them. I started volunteering with SOAR about two years ago. Before that, I was on the Board of Directors for ATRA, as well as being the coordinator for Indiana. Currently, I’m on the home check and transport list,…

UPDATE – November 12, 2013 Hi Lynn! Macie is doing very well! She is getting big! Nearing 60+pounds and still filling out. I think she’s reached her full height through. She had a great summer! She did LOTS of swimming and chasing LOTS of frisbees in our backyard with Brodie and her neighbor dog friend,…

Kirk has a huge heart for rescue Airedales. He is willing to jump in to do just about anything to help an Airedale in need. All you need to do is to let him know you have a problem and he will work with you to help find a solution. He is connected to the Airedale community and…

Although I’ve just started volunteering for SOAR, I’m amazed by all of the dedicated and generous volunteers I’ve met. I’m one of the transport coordinators, and working alongside such wonderful people, not to mention our amazing Airedales, I know how important it is to give back to the community, especially to organizations one feels passionate…

Hi, I’m Kathy Short from Fayetteville, AR, and I’ve always owned Airedales. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats. As a teacher, I wrote a curriculum on the economics of pet overpopulation, for which I won first place honors and a trip to Washington DC. I began a “Be Kind to Animals Week”, now a…

Working with SOAR is like being part of a family, made up of people who have known one another “forever.” Except that our “family” works together with one common goal: giving second chances to a very special breed of dog. I volunteer because I love our Airedales and I absolutely love all of the people…

We are happily fated to be forever, not foster, homes. Why? Because we’d be foster fails every time. We’d simply fill out the paper work and adopt them all. After we adopted our Airedale, Martha, from SOAR in November 2012, we were hooked on helping, and began volunteering the following spring. I’m sure all rescues are great,…

Hi, I’m Julie King and live in the northwest Chicago suburbs with my husband and three sons, along with our beloved Airedale, Kaeleigh. I was introduced to Airedales when I was eight years old and met my aunt and uncle’s big dog, Max, who became a favorite companion when I would visit them in southern…

I’m Joan Ragan, and to say Airedales are my passion is an understatement. When my youngest daughter bought an Airedale from a local, quality breeder in 1995, it was love at first sight for the entire family. Following my husband’s death in 1998, I began working with Airedale Rescue. My first transport took me to…

“All dogs have value and all dogs deserve to be loved,” says Jenny T. Patrick. “We are their voice. And dogs are my true passion.” As with every volunteer working with SOAR, Jenny feels right at home. Why? “Because SOAR is made up of an amazing group of people dedicated to helping the Airedale breed.…
