My story

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

Meet Speckles (aka Spot) a 2 year old Australian Shepherd mix that is being fostered in NJ! Speckles would make a great companion to any forever home!

Speckles would be great sports dog but can Netflix & Chill with the best of them! Speckles loves all people and has potential to be trained to be a therapy dog as he has a very calm demeanor and is easy to work with. Speckles loves puzzles and chew bones! He’ll need reinforced training as he has selective hearing at time! Speckles is a incredibly sweet dog and and deserves a loving FUREVER home!

Speckles can be placed in a home with FEMALE dogs but due to his high prey drive Speckles will NOT be placed in a home with small animals like cats.
If he sounds perfect for you, here is the application:

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 81,000 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.
