My story

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

Introducing Comet in Mooresville, NC- a beautiful red tri Aussie and the absolute best boy! Comet will be 8 years old on Dec. 21st and comes to rescue due to a military deployment and change in living arrangements.

He weighs about 45 pounds and is an all around great pup that is HIGH Velcro! Comet would love nothing more than for you to love on him and pet him as much as possible 😊 He is well behaved with good leash and meal time manners. He takes treats gently and loves to play with toys and go for long walks.

Comet is being fostered with 3 dogs and would not mind a canine companion although it is not necessary as he would be perfectly content to be the center of your universe! Comet can be playful and enjoys toys and even playing ball sometimes. His wish list includes a fenced yard but someone who takes him on long walks daily would make him very happy. He does have a prey drive (he thinks the parrot may be the most interesting squeaky toy he has ever seen) but he is easily redirected. He has not been cat tested so a kitty free home may be recommended.

Comet is potty trained and has not had any accidents (we take him out at least 4 times a day). He is an early riser and needs to go out at 6:45am. He will gently wake you with his nose or you may just feel him staring at you. Comet will go into his crate (we give him a treat to sweeten the deal) but we have found him to be quite content to lay around the house and not destructive so we leave him out almost all the time.

If you are looking for a companion to share long walks, hang out with and love on, Comet may be the boy for you. He has so much love to give and deserves his furever family!

Comet is fostered in Mooresville, NC and a meet in greet will be required. Due to his size and enthusiasm, we recommend homes with children over 12.

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 58,000 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.
