Airedale Rescue Annual Report for 2024
Airedale Rescue is a charity that specialises in helping Airedale Terriers find a suitable home long term as unfortunately their present owner(s) are unable to provide the best care for their dog long term due to many reasons.
Airedale Rescue was started by its founder, Lynda McCarthy, in 2013. It became a charity in 2017. Unfortunately the founder of the charity, Lynda McCarthy died after a short illness in late 2024. At present time it now has 3 trustees carrying on the work after re homing Airedale Terriers.
Fortunately because the Airedale Terrier breed is relatively small we do not need kennels for the dogs. We have a list of very experienced people who have had the breed in the past and are looking for another Airedale Terrier. Therefore we are able to move the dog from its present home to a new home without the need to have the dog put into kennels.
We have found that in the last 12 months or so the number of Airedale Terriers requiring a new home has again increased. This we believe could still be the result of Covid. In 2024 we rehomed 37 Airedales which was the second highest with 2023 being 41.
As a comparison in 2020 we re homed 10, in 2021 it was 24 and in 2022 it was 28.
In addition to finding new homes for the Airedale, we support the dog and their new owners not only with their veterinary support such as neutering but also behavioural support. The trustees are all volunteers and give their time speaking to people who are looking for support in managing their Airedale where they are not necessarily looking to give their dog up to be re homed.
We are hope that 2025 will see a reduction in the number of Airedales needing a new home.
