My story

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

Shelter Courtesy Post: Heritage Humane Society- Williamsburg, VA

Meet Abel! He is an 8 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 50 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Abel is nervous around strangers, but warms up after a while. No dogs, cats, or children, due to his reactivity! Abel is very loving, smart, loyal, and obedient! He needs to find a furever home as soon as possible! If you think you can provide a great home for Abel, please contact the person listed below.

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 60,000 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.
