ATCA Rescue Committee Logo The ATCA Rescue and Adoption Committee is a volunteer operated nonprofit organization dedicated to new beginnings...to making things right for displaced Airedale Terriers. In addition to many other services, we provide essential vet care to place Airedales with new carefully matched permanent adoptive homes. 

LET'S GIVE MATILDA A RUNNING CHANCE!

Just before her first birthday, gentle and sweet Matilda was surrendered to Airedale Rescue by her too busy owner. She was fostered and soon received with love into her Forever Home. In the new environment, she couldn't keep up with the family or her new Jack Russell buddy. Matilda's new vet diagnosed Bilateral Class 3 Hip Displaysia. Because NATIONAL AIREDALE RESCUE is guaranteeing the cost of the surgery, Matilda will have a normal, active life with the family that loves her so! Because our Airedale community has such a big heart, the safety net is there for Matilda and for others in similar circumstances.

Your support of National Airedale Rescue helps us to give Matilda an active life free of pain. Your donation is tax deductible, and with your permission we will advertise your generosity on the ATCA national rescue website.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Sweet Matilda with her little boy Aiden

"Tank You Berry Much! I glad you help!
My Tilda gonna be a real runner now!
Love, Aiden"

Matilda makes it through her first surgery!!!

hey everybody out there, I just wanted to let you all know that Matilda had her first hip surgery today at 3:00 PM and as of 6 PM she was awake and doing great. I know the road to recovery has just begun but the scariest part is behind us now thank god. I'm going to visit her tomarrow around lunch time and I'll post again to let everyone know her progress is. You have all been so supportive through this and there is no way I can ever thank you all but just know that I mean it when I say it has meant the world to us to have you all there!!! What a great group to be apart of. I wish there was more to tell but I'm sure I'll get the scoop tomarrow. Thanks again all of you.
