How We Use Your Donations
SOAR is an all-volunteer organization...we do not have any paid staff. This means that your donations go directly to assist the Airedales that come under our care and support our rescue efforts.
Our first priority is always the well-being of the Airedales that pass through our hands. We make sure that once they are in rescue, they are brought up-to-date on shots, parasite-free, heartworm free, and spayed or neutered. Each of our Airedales is microchipped. We address any illnesses or injuries and do as much as possible to get the Airedales ready to live healthy lives in their new homes. We work to solve behavior problems that otherwise might keep an Airedale from being successfully adopted. Each Airedale is also given a new collar, leash, and tag to take with them to their new home.
We very much appreciate your support!
We Thank Our Donors
Because of the support of generous donors like you, SOAR is able to help homeless Airedales in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan find their way to new families and a bright future. We appreciate your support and more importantly, so do the Airedales

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,…

Fozzie was a runner. It was his running away that got him into Rescue. As a young pup, he ran away in small town West Virginia. There, he was hit by a pickup truck. The very poor, impoverished animal shelter there, literally picked him up off of the roadside and took him to the vet. That vet did…

I just came inside. I put a candle on her grave. I looked up at the night sky and there are so many little stars visible. I am hoping she is with Elliot again… Each night she helped me put big bird to bed and lingered by her cage until she heard Sunny say, “bye bye.” One…

We’ve decided that “Belle” was not quite her, so we dignified her with Beatrice, which quickly became Bea, and quite often she’s our goofy Beazus!! She’s such a silly girl! She’s quite a large dog – nearly 90 pounds – and full of life and energy. Over the last 6 months (I can’t believe we’ve…
