My story

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

IN Milton, DE
Meet Lacey! She is a 10-month-old female, black tri, Australian Shepherd. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and on interceptor Plus heartworm preventative

Lacey is searching for her special person to help her shine. She will need a patient and dedicated owner to bring out her best qualities. Although Lacey is incredibly shy and is unsure of new people and surroundings, she is the sweetest and most lovable dog on the planet! She loves to snuggle and lay right up next to you. She will be your most loyal companion.

Lacey’s ideal home would have a canine buddy to help give her confidence and a fenced yard (mandatory) to run and play. She even likes cats. A quiet home with no small children would be best at first as she has not been around children. She will need more socialization in different environments to encourage her to conquer her shyness. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, just unsure of new situations and people. 

Lacey is house trained, although she is still a puppy and can whittle a little if scared and has had too much water after playing with her buddies. She currently lives with two dogs and a cat along with her two humans, to which she is very attached. She is crated only when no one is home as she cries a lot in her crate. She would do well if her humans were home with her most of the day.

Lacey would benefit from more leash time as she was initially afraid of being on a leash, so more walks will help boost her confidence.

Lacey is truly a special puppy with a lot of love to give. Her foster will have a hard time giving her up! If Lacey sounds like the perfect partner for you, please start the adoption process today to give Lacey her furever home. Currently located in Milton, DE. Multiple meet and greets may be needed, so please keep distance in mind when applying for her. Breed experience is a plus. Time, patience and love are mandatory requirements for Lacey!
(Lacey is a sibling to ASF Toby, currently being fostered in VA.)

If she sounds perfect for you, please fill out the application:

There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her 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 85,000 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.
