On May 22, 2003, Airedale rescue volunteers in Arizona received 19 Airedales from animal control authorities after they were abandoned by their breeder.
The older dogs appear to have been house pets, or at least have had human contact at one time. The younger ones were not socialized and are very shy of humans, but show no signs of aggression.
They all appear to be healthy, with beautiful pearly white teeth. We didn't find any ticks or
fleas on any of them, their eyes are clear and their skin looks pretty good other than a few superficial
wounds on some of them.
When the final count was in, we ended up with five purebred black & tan Airedales and fourteen "designer
Airedales" in non-standard colors.
Because most of the dogs were not purebred Airedales,
funds were not requested from the ATCA Rescue & Adoption Committee.
Instead, members of the Internet community opened their hearts and
their pocketbooks and donated the funds for boarding and medical costs.
