Description
Dog Breed: Airedale Terrier. Meet Airedale Terrier Elena! After spending the first three years of her life on a backyard breeder’s property alongside several other Airedales and their puppies, Elena is finally getting the chance to learn what it means to be part of a family! 3 years old and 55 lbs, Elena is a beautiful, sweet and gentle Airedale. She has been fully vetted and spayed and is now settling into foster care, where we’re learning more about her every day as she decompresses. Elena follows her foster family from room to room, has started doing zoomies in the backyard, rolls onto her back when she wants to play, and has been wonderful with the young children in her foster home. After a little burst of fun, she’s happy coming inside and curling up near her people. She’s house trained and crate trained, sleeps through the night, and can comfortably spend time in her crate when her foster family is away. On walks, she doesn’t pull and is gaining confidence every day, although cars, loud noises and sudden movements can still make her cautious. She’s curious about other dogs from a distance, and used to live with many dogs. We can’t wait to see who Elena becomes with a family of her very own!

Airedale Terrier
A.K.A.: King of Terriers, Waterside Terrier, Bingley Terrier, Airedale, Aire, Airedale Hound, Working Airedale, Show Airedale
Overview:
The Airedale Terrier, often called the "King of Terriers," is the largest of the terrier breeds, originating from the Aire Valley in Yorkshire, England. Bred initially to hunt otters and rats, they possess a distinctive dense, wiry coat, typically a tan and black saddle pattern, requiring regular grooming. Physically, they are strong and athletic, with a noble and alert expression. Temperamentally, Airedales are known for their intelligence, boundless energy, and spirited personality. While loyal and protective, their independent nature means they thrive with consistent training and early socialization. They are generally good with children and can be wonderful family companions for active households that can provide ample exercise and mental stimulation. Their energy levels make them less suitable for small apartment living unless daily, vigorous outdoor activity is guaranteed. Health-wise, they are a relatively robust breed, but like many larger breeds, can be prone to hip dysplasia, certain cancers, and skin allergies. Prospective owners should be prepared for their lively antics and strong will, but will be rewarded with an incredibly devoted and engaging companion.
