It is with great sadness that we have to announce  Lynda’s  passing after a short illness.

 

Lynda McCarthy was born into Airedales many years ago and over the last 40 years she had anything from 4/5 Airedales as her ‘girls’ with her devoted husband Paul.

 

In 2010 Lynda McCarthy recognised the  need and began her wish to share her love of Airedales by working to re home those  in need of a new family.

 

Hence, Airedale Rescue was born.

 

In 2015 it became a  REGISTERED CHARITY No 1173196 covering the whole of the U.K. The Charity is entirely staffed by Volunteers.

 

Airedale Rescue is Kennel Club recognised and can be found on their Rescue Directory website.

 

Over 300 Airedales have moved into their forever homes since 2010. Some  have been in need of Veterinary care and where possible Airedale Rescue have supported these dogs.

 

Kind donations have allowed the Charity to continue and thrive.

 

The aim of the Charity is to research the very best home available for an Airedale in need and we work tirelessly to match suitable homes to these dogs.

 

Experienced homes are always on our ‘radar’ and the right Airedale could be around the corner for you. The priority is that the dog goes to the right permanent home.

 

Lynda’s devotion to the Breed  was unshakeable. She was well known for her sympathetic ear as well as her outspoken ‘get things done, no nonsense’ approach.

 

And she produced results.

 

Many were the moments when Lynda worked late into the night and her strong network of Airedale friends and connections gave great support.

 

Thank you to you all.

 

The Trustees of Airedale Rescue are proud to have been trained and trusted by Lynda to continue her work .

 

We shall not let you down Lynda.

 

The Airedale World will miss you.You were one in a million Gal .
