My story

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

Fostered in Murfreesboro, TN, meet Kyra (pronounced KEERA)! This little spitfire was born to do dog sports, so if you have experience in this area and are looking for your next partner, you’ve come to the right spot. She is about 1 year old and 38 lbs.

Miss Kyra is extra high energy and high velcro and needs an adopter who understands how to work with dogs like this. Her foster grandma calls her “little miss Mighty Might” because she is so go-go-go! Kyra’s favorite games currently are frisbee and Chuck-It in the backyard. She would be great at disc, agility, lure coursing, or flyball (and probably any other sport).

She does fine with her foster brother and other dogs, but is generally not interested in playing with dogs. She much prefers playing with her humans, which means a lot of dedicated time to her throughout the day.

Kyra is quite barky, so places like apartments and townhomes are not likely to be a good fit. She is extra friendly with new women but takes a few minutes to warm up to men (treats and fetch will win her over in a jiffy, her foster dad is now her favorite person ever).

Kyra is crate trained; she sleeps in her crate and stays in her crate when the humans are out of the house. She is housebroken as long as she has frequent trips outside otherwise she won’t be able to hold it. She prefers to ride in a crate for car rides; if that can be accommodated she’s a dynamite traveler. Has not been kid tested but her fosters feel she would be fine.

Must have’s: experience with high energy herding dogs, large fenced yard preferred or experience training boundaries (she has been known to chase cars), dog sport experience preferred, extremely active lifestyle.

If Kyra sounds like the pawfect fit for you, fill out an application ASAP. She is spayed, UTD on shots and ready to go home!

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.
