My story

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

Bono is a bright, alert and curious boy with a ton on energy. He was rescued from an Oklahoma Kill shelter and transported to New England to find his furever home.

He’s always ready to go, exploring new places and meeting new people. This boy is anything but shy. In fact he’s quite curious and forward, going up to greet new people and seeking their attention. He’s a big boy, tall, long and lanky, like his Australian Shepherd Stock Dog ancestors. And he’s fast.

A fenced in yard or a nearby park would be ideal so he can run and play to work off some energy. We anticipate he could grow to the 60-65 lb range when full grown.

Bono has great potential as an Adventure dog. If you are into running, hiking, climbing, biking, camping, cross country skiing and snowshoeing, this is the companion you have been lookin for. Or if you participate in dog sports like agility, fast cat, disk, fly ball, or barn hunt, this is your next competition partner.

Bono is working on his leash walking. And on housebreaking. He’s improving every day. He does well in his crate. But he’d rather be with his people… working hard to please them.

If your looking for a partner for new adventures in the great outdoors, then Bono may be the pup for you.

Here is the application:

There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family, a REFUNDABLE $50 neuter deposit which will be refunded upon proof of neuter and a $150 transport fee which is a portion of what we were charged for professional transport from Oklahoma to Maine.

All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

More about this rescue

Nancy Pearlman-Gonzalez, Founder and CEO, created Australian Shepherds Furever (ASF), a non-profit organization to promote the education, rescue, fostering and adoption of the Australian Shepherd breed of dog.
In July 2012, Australian Shepherds Furever (ASF) initiated as a page on Facebook. Hoping to have 1,000 members at the end one year, ASF quickly grew into a network of more than 67,000 dedicated individuals striving to provide aid and refuge to Aussies all over the country.
From these phenomena, the website www.australianshepherdsfurever.org was developed to educate the public on this intelligent and beautiful breed, and provide resources to those seeking help or willing to contribute to the Adopt, Save and Foster (ASF) philosophy. ASF filed for non- profit status in July 2013 and obtained its status in July 2014 and through proactive networking, partnerships, training/rehabilitation and fundraising, ASF has saved the lives of countless dogs to include those with Parvo, Mange, Tick Disease, Cancer, Pneumonia, broken limbs and some of the most extreme cases of abuse that one could imagine. ASF focuses on the Aussies that most would turn their backs on. ASF is in its 5th year and over 1,910 Australian Shepherds have been rescued from high kills shelters, abusive owners and other high-risk situations.
We, as humans, have a responsibility to uphold, shelter and care for those beings that are less fortunate, that are simply cast away. Thanks to proactive individuals who work collectively, Aussies nationwide are being given a chance at a better life through Australian Shepherds Volunteers are an integral component of ASF for the maintenance of the website, screening potential fosters and adopters, providing training, fundraising, data base management, networking and transporting of recued Aussies. All Volunteers; Adopters, Fosters, Trainers and Transporters etc. are carefully screened and vetted to assure the safe and vital placement of these dogs into furever homes. We currently have over 170 foster families and over 160 dogs in foster care nationwide. We have professional trainers to work with our dogs with severe behavioral issues. We also have a team of Rescue Coordinators, Medical Advisors, Fundraisers, Regional Reps, Application Processors, Data Base Managers, Social Media Managers, Microchip and ID tag Registrars and Ground and Air Transport Coordinators that work together to save these beautiful dogs.
