3 year old Airedale in need of new home!!

Spokane WA

Description

Hello! I'm currently looking for a new home for my 3 year old Purebred Airedale. He's a male, perfectly healthy, and has never had any illnesses. Pictures can be provided upon request, but for serious inquiries only, please. Now, before you jump at the chance to email me about this dog, let me get the basics out of the way: I am only looking for SERIOUS, EXPERIENCED DOG/AIREDALE OWNERS. My 3 year old Airedale is playful, and very high-octane, and would do well in a family with no other dogs so he can be your main point of attention. He loves to play, loves to be pet and loves being showered in affection. Seriously, if you have other dogs he probably isn't going to be the match for you. He's fine with cats, I have two (a male and female) and he's just curious, but I would still give both him and the cats time to warm up to each other before leaving them unsupervised (if you have cats, of course). He has separation anxiety, and I know that in my home he won't be adequately cared for and I fear that if I wait too long to re-home him the signs of negligence he's showing now will only grow stronger and stronger. I work full time and have a lot of other responsibilities that prevent me or anyone else in my family from giving him the one-on-one attention he needs and deserves. If someone put in the time with him, I know he'd grow into such a fantastic dog that was loyal to his owner without any question. He has such an excitable, young personality and as I said, I don't want to squander that because I'm continuing to hold onto him even in knowing I cannot care for him. I DO NOT want him to be put down, I don't want someone reaching out to me with a half-hearted desire to only later on, once my dog is in their care, realize that they bit off more than they can chew. He needs someone willing to work with him and put in the time and effort. I want someone that will love him and give him the attention he deserves. As I said, I'm only interested in speaking with experienced dog/Airedale owners, if you've never had a pet, let alone a dog before, do not reach out to me. He isn't neutered, but if you want to get the procedure done upon adopting him, I have no problems with that. Another reason I recommend having no other dogs is because he butt heads with an older male Airedale I had (who is now in a new loving home), and he is constantly trying to 'hop on' to my older female Airedale despite the fact she is spayed. Even when I express displeasure for it, he'll turn right back around and try again. He's not aggressive in the least bit though, as I said, he's just a young dog who needs someone that can keep up with him. If you think this sounds like a dog you'd be 110% committed to adopting and caring for, please feel free to reach out to me and I'd be happy to answer any and all questions. If you end up being his forever home, all I ask is for a $40 re-homing fee (to further weed out anyone who isn't wholly interested--this can possibly be negotiated) and to get a yearly update on how he's doing. Thanks for reading!
