My story

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

Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Grand Blanc, MI

Meet Mocha! He is an 2 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 65 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Mocha is hostile around strangers! He is good with other dogs! He hasn’t been tested around younger children. No older children or cats, due to his reactivity!

Mocha jumped up and bit 2 teenagers while they were walking by at a campground. One of these instances occurred while he was on leash and the other occurred in a fenced area. Mocha bit the owner’s friend while he was on leash and they walked by. He bit the owner’s husband while he was trying to put Mocha in his kennel. The most recent bite incident occurred when the owner’s dad was working on something in their house. Mocha ran up and bit him on the leg. The owner is surrendering him because of these bite incidents. They also aren’t able to provide the exercise that he needs. He needs to find a new furever home as soon as possible!

If you think you can provide a great home for Mocha, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Mocha.

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 27,000 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.
