Our Rescue and Adoption Committee was formed in 1987 under the leadership of Lou Swafford, its Chair for many years. Today it is chaired by Pamela McKusick, (Email) who is also the Airedale Terrier Club of America Rescue Coordinator and primary contact for Maryland and the District of Columbia. She collaborates with the ATCA Coordinators and Volunteers in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and the Delaware Valley. Our volunteers also work with the ATCA Rescue program, which covers all of the United States.
