It was a beautiful day in June of 2006. Our mission was to drive 1-1/-2 hours south of Chicago to pick up a 3-1/2 year old Airedale Terrier (from Kentucky) that was on her third transportation leg to her “forever” home – the Spencer household. The minute she jumped out of the transport van, she began…

When serious illness forced Baxter’s family to surrender him, Jim and Cheryl Arnold decided they would act as Baxter’s Aire-angels. The Arnold’s were without an Airedale and, lucky for Baxter, they decided to take this sweet boy into their family. He is adjusting well and enjoying his new life. Thanks to Lynn, Barbara, and Tom…

Sandaire’s Magnus CKC 2000-2012 He came to us at just 10 weeks old, and was named by the family “Magnus” because he was such a great dog. Everyone remarked what a happy dog he was, and his perked, ears, smiling face, bright eyes and delighted welcome to all, showed his happy nature to the world. He was glad…

We really do love her, she’s a funny dog! She is growing so fast, I took her to the vet again last week and they immediately commented on how tall she has gotten! She and Bentley are still getting along really well. They play constantly; even in this frigid weather they were going outside and…
