Welcome to New England Airedale Rescue (NEAR)!
There are dogs beyond our borders needing great new homes.
Some, like this young AireBoy and his brother, need understanding adopters, another middle-aged AireGirl who wants to be an only pet, and so on. Since they are not in a New England state, some distance may be involved. If you want to know more, please contact Barbara at sculptaire@snet.net.
Hello, I'm Moe. ADOPTED!
An update from Moe's adopters:
"Hi, thought I'd give up a progress report on Moe. He is family, was in 10 minutes. He super adores my 12 year old daughter and loves Toby. He sleeps with Taryn on a huge fluffy dog bed and between 4 and 5 am gets on her bed with her. It's a twin bed, kind of tight. She gets up at 7 and he stays in bed, stretches out like finally the whole bed for me! He plays like a puppy most of the day. He's made my 3 girl dogs much better behaved, which is perfect. They were always bickering without a boy dog in the house. He likes to steal the German Shepard's big ball and that makes Fluffy crazy. He wouldn't come in our living room the first 10 days but does now. He's pretty fabulous. Thanks again."

My owner died so I am looking for a home to love me again like she did. I am a good AireBoy, still spry and healthy at nine years old. Might you be also looking for someone to love? I might be your guy. Please contact Barbara at sculptaire@snet.net for more info.
Sammy adopted through NEAR this year at almost 13 years old sure loves sharing an ice cream treat with his sister Casey. What a guy. We adore the seniors. The seniors obviously adore ice cream!
Aire tales 🎄
Our Vet offered pictures with Santa. I took Otto twice (Saturday the 9th and again this past Friday) so he could convince Santa that he should not be on the "naughty" list. 🤣 😂
In spite of the fact that both times he knocked over props (fake plants) and tried to steal the presents from under the tree and grab the stuffed dog and (today) tried to rip Santa's beard off, we got some good pictures. So I guess maybe Santa will be good to him. 🤣 😂
We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas & Happy, Healthy New Year!
Love, Pat & Otto
Another happy ending...
Here's what the adopters have to say:
"Blue (formally Bear) is one of the sweetest Airedales ever and that all is going wonderfully in his new home. Don't get me wrong, we have had our challenges but nothing that we are no able to work through. Quite frankly Blue is the first Airedale that I have had that is ready willing and able to play with other dogs. I take him quite regularly to the Kennel that we board and have him groomed at for exposure, exercise and socialization. He loves it and it really helped to acclimate him to the environment for when we go on vacation and for when he needs to be there for grooming. He will run in the field with all of the other daycare dogs without a problem, plays for a while but ultimately chooses to be around the humans. He is quite a clown and sometimes (or should I say most times) has no idea where his 75 pound body is (needless to say we are overly cautious when he bounds down the stairs or gets crazy in the yard).
I could go on forever but really just wanted you to know he is well and we love him to pieces! Last week he had his first real Airedale groom and the day after a woman stopped her car to tell us how handsome he is."
Thank you for sharing your rescue updates with us!
Here's what our rescuers have shared.
There's a very happy ending for an Airedale that really needed NEAR's help.
Faith was surrendered to a shelter because she needed expensive vetting that the family wouldn't provide. Faith had a badly torn cruciate ligament but couldn't have that surgery until she lost a lot of weight (she was obese), plus she had severe intestinal issues that would take patience to figure out. A wonderful NEAR adopter sped to Faith's rescue, and after months of vet visits and much money, Faith is now a happy, loved, active Airedale who sure found the right forever home.
