Our membership year runs from January to December. You must be a paid member to receive the newsletter. Persons who adopt a rescue Airedale from the Sunshine Airedalers receive a free first year's complimentary membership in the Sunshine Airedalers of Florida. This is to help them off to a good start on their Airedale ownership. We want new owners of our rescue Airedales to know who to call when they have Airedale questions. Following that first year, complimentary members must pay their annual dues to continue their membership.
Our membership dues donations are our biggest fund raiser. When considering what level to give, we ask you to consider that your donation goes directly to the costs of rescue. When a rescue Airedale comes into our rescue program, that dog is checked out medically by a veterinarian, and if needed, brought up-to-date on shots; treated for possible medical problems; and if not already done, spayed or neutered before being available for adoption. The average cost of a visit without intervention is $60. Each vaccine cost varies but averages $30 each for Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Leptospirosis, etc. Heartworm tests average $45. To spay or neuter the costs can vary from $160 to over $300. To treat a simple ear infection could cost $149. Know that every penny you donate is used to help and every penny counts
Sally Schnellmann's WAG Fund Donation for Airedale Seniors & Special Needs
Sally Schnellmann's WAG fund donations go to help senior dogs and our rescues that have special needs requiring ongoing expenses. These dogs may be hard to place because of the financial commitment required by the adopter, so these funds help secure a loving forever home. (This fund is named in memory of our founder Sally Schnellmann and her senior pup named What A Guy, WAG)
