My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elijah is ready to find his forever home. Elijah is a 2 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd/Husky cross (best guess). He has the most beautiful blue eyes! He is being fostered in Soddy Daisy, TN.

Elijah was found wandering a neighborhood in TN. A family took him in and kept him safe while they searched for an owner, which was never found. They wanted what was best for him and reached out to ASF. Upon coming into rescue, it was found that Elijah was heartworm positive. ASF jumped into action for his treatment plan and he completed treatment with no complications at all and he is now heartworm free!


The ideal home for Elijah would be one where he can be a part of the family. He's a friendly and happy boy. It would be best to have a home without small children, just because of his size, he weighs right at 65 lbs. Older children would be fine. He gets along great with other dogs. No cats or livestock, as he is a little too interested and wants to chase them. A taller fence, such as a privacy fence or taller than the standard 4 ft fence is recommended. That's due to the husky in him and wanting to explore.

He walks well on the leash so a fence isn't necessarily required if he has someone who is very active and would include him in daily activities on the leash, walks, hikes, outings, etc.

Elijah is neutered up to date on all vaccines, on heartworm and flea/tick prevention and is microchipped.

Elijah will make a wonderful companion and is ready to take on new adventures with his new person or family! A link to our adoption application can be found below.

There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

More about this rescue

Nancy Gonzalez, founder and CEO, created Australian Shepherds Furever (ASF), a non-profit organization to promote the educated adoption and rescue of the Australian Shepherd (Aussie) dog breed.

In July of 2012, ASF initiated as a Facebook page hoping to have 1,000 user "likes" by the end one year. The page quickly outgrew expectations, now with a network of nearly 67,000 individuals striving to provide aid and refuge to Aussies all over the country.

Using the Facebook page as a platform, the website www.australianshepherdsfurever.org was developed as an additional resource aimed at educating the public on this intelligent and beautiful breed. It provides resources for those seeking help, or those willing to contribute to the Adopt, Save, Foster (ASF) philosophy. Through this philosophy, ASF has saved the lives of countless dogs and helped to provide assistance to those that have nowhere else to turn.

We as humans have a responsibility to speak up and take action in favor of those beings that are less fortunate. Thanks to a team of passionate and proactive volunteers, Aussies nationwide are given a chance at a better life through Australian Shepherds Furever.
