Hi! My name is Lola and I am looking for my new family.
I am tall and am what they call a redline Airedale. I don’t have all that fluff on my legs and face and my coat is hard and wiry.
I am very bouncy and that is because I have lots of energy to burn off. A fenced yard to run and play in would be great. Some call me goofy, too. I am very affectionate with people and I love my car rides.
To make my adoption the best ever, please NO OTHER DOGS! I do not like sharing my space with any other animal and I hope you understand that I want to be the star pet in your life. Please do not think you can take me to a dog park…it will not turn out well, but play with me in your fenced yard and we will be friends forever. I am with a trainer now who is working with me on some of the basics and I hope you can continue that training. I really do want to be a good girl for you.
If you are interested in giving Lola her new home, please go to the SOAR website and fill out an application: https://soar-airedale-rescue.com/
Tell us you are interested in Lola.

Additional adoption info
Pet ownership is a serious commitment that the entire household needs to consider and agree to before the animal is adopted. We want to ensure that each adoptive household is aware of, and willing and able to accept the physical and financial responsibilities of pet ownership. Not everyone who desires to own a pet is ready to properly care for one. The Adoption Application and approval process will assist both you and us in determining if your household is prepared to assume the role of responsible caretaker for a rescued animal. Thank you for filling it out!
Once you submit the Adoption Application, we will call your reference and a volunteer will call you for a telephone interview. If there are no problems that arise from the telephone interview, we will have a volunteer do a home visit with you. They will bring an Airedale with them (one of their own usually).
By submitting this Application, you agree that we can proceed with these next two steps in the Adoption Application process. In addition, by submitting this Application, you agree that Starting Over Airedale Rescue, Inc. may call the reference that you have provided and that we may call you for a telephone interview. You understand that proceeding with this application does not guarantee that SOAR will approve you for adopting one of our dogs. You also understand that if you are approved, you may have to wait until a dog enters rescue that SOAR believes is a good match for you and your family. Once a match is made, you understand that you will be asked to make a suggested adoption donation of $300 to $450. If the placement does not work out, you will be required to return the dog to SOAR.
Once you have been approved, please be sure to work closely with your state coordinator about any dog you might be interested in. If the dog is out-of-state, we will need to coordinate an adoption with that state coordinator.

Since we are a reswcue group covering three states, all of our dogs are fostered in private home settings prior to adoption. Some spend time with trainers if need be.
Occasionally we have a table or booth at an event where you can visit with us. Watch the calendar on our website for details.

More about this rescue
Let me be the first to welcome you to Starting Over Airedale Rescue! I look forward to connecting with you and helping you get to know more about myself, our organization and our mission.
I officially started working with Airedale rescue in 1995. I have done everything from transporting (many transports using my airplane), home visits, fostering (failing at fostering and keeping my foster), newsletter editor, fundraising, serving on a Board (including as president for 5 years) and everything in between. I thoroughly enjoy Airedale rescue and am happy to serve as SOAR's first president as we "take off" and find our wings to rescue Airedales who need us in the future.
I have had terriers all of my life. My family had two Scotties when I was a toddler (although I don't remember much about them.) Then at age 12, my grandmother bought us a Wire Fox Terrier for Christmas. I called 4 additional Wires my "furry friends" for several years after that...including two Wires when I was first married. Somewhere along the line, I decided I wanted an Airedale in my life, so my first Airedale, Skipper, joined my pack of two Wires.
After a divorce in 1985 and losing all of my dogs to my ex-husband, I did my first rescue on my own when I found an Airedale wandering on the side of a busy highway. She came right up to me when I stopped the car and jumped in like she belonged! No one claimed her so she stayed and became my Honey.
My second rescue came the next summer when I helped someone place an Airedale that wandered into their gas station. After these two experiences, it was a natural for me to become involved with Airedale rescue when the opportunity came up several years later.
Dusty was my heart dog and she was the last of the Airedales I purchased from a breeder. She was always so wonderful with the many fosters I brought into my home. I have also been called "mom" by rescues Katy, Alice and Sweet Pea.
I am a flight instructor and ran my own flight school and maintenance shop at the local airport. I did airman checkrides on behalf of the FAA for small single-engine airplanes for 20 years. I also have a greenhouse where I enjoy taking care of around 3,000 orchids. I am an orchid judge and travel around the country speaking about my specialty field of pleurothallids. I also hybridize orchids and have named many for rescue friends.
My husband, Bob, and I share our home with two rescue Airedales, Alice and Sweet Pea, and our German Shepherd, Kasey.
I look forward to sharing my inspiration and enthusiasm with you. If you have any comments or suggestions, I am here to listen.
