Airedale Terrier Rescue and Adoption, Inc. is a 501 c3 all volunteer organization rescuing Airedale Terriers in 13 Midwest states and the province of Ontario. We stand ready to help any homeless Airedale and provide them with quality care and love while searching for their perfect forever home. Our success is the result of the dedication of our volunteers and supporters like you.
The first step is read the Placement Contract below and review the Adoption Application to decide whether adopting an Airedale is right for you. If you decide to continue, complete and submit the Adoption Application. The fastest way to is use our on-line Adoption Application. If you prefer submitting a paper copy, contact the coordinator for your state or province. Next, we conduct a telephone interview with you and check your vet and grooming or other references. When that is complete, we schedule a home visit with an ATRA volunteer. The application, a telephone interview, reference checks and home visit are part of the approval process. When the steps are completed you will be notified of the status of your application. If you are approved, it is time for you and the right dog find each other. Once a match is made, you will be given a placement contract to sign and we will start planning the transport to get the Airedale to you. Then you will get to meet an Airedale who needs a loving home. Continue reading for a more in-depth discussion of the adoption process.
