Chewbacca is searching the galaxy for a forever home! Chewie is staying awhile in Tracy, California but he is anxious to find a new family. Chewie has been reluctantly surrendered because his owner's work now requires him to travel a great deal and he wants the best for his good buddy.
Chewie is 7 1/2 years old, in his prime and very fit. He is 24 1/2 inches tall and 75-80 pounds. He is microchipped, neutered, housebroken and up to date on his vaccinations. He has had extensive obedience training. He needs to be carefully introduced to other dogs since he has had occasion to be reactive to some dogs. However he is getting along nicely with the other Airedales in his foster home and has very good manners in the house. He is bright and very responsive.
He loves people and children but not cats. Chewie is used to going to the office with his previous owner and so he loves being with people but he does not fuss when left home for a time. He has been known to surf the kitchen counters for unauthorized treats, so take appropriate precautions! An active family with teenagers would work well for him. He needs plenty of exercise daily. Ideally, he should be in a home where someone is at home or can take him along to work. Chewie's new owner must be prepared to continue his obedience work with a good trainer. His training has been a constant in his previous home and will be a bonding influence with his new owner. If you would like more information on Chewie, please be sure you have an application in at www.nwairedalerescue.org and, please email over pictures of the front and back of your home showing fencing if able to. Please note or let us know that you are interested in Chewie. Connie Turner is Chewie's main contact at 503 399 9819; cturner859@aol.com. As always with an Airedale Terrier, a securely fenced yard along with lots of time to spend with your Airedale is a must.
