Meet Huckleberry aka Huck who is available for adoption in Cherry Hill, NJ! Huck is 7 years old, about 54lbs, up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick preventative, housebroken and crate-trained.
He’s a very good dog, so well-behaved and would make a good companion or family dog! He’s nervous around sudden noises and strangers, but he warms up quickly and gets along with other dogs and children.
He loooves pets, belly rubs, and attention. He is a great running and hiking buddy and loves cuddling on the couch as a couch potato. Don’t leave him alone with your food! He loves food and likes to stand between me and the stove when cooking…and waits to taste test any food that drops. He’s very food and treat motivated and learns new commands quickly.
His previous owner didn’t crate train him but he learned the command “go to crate” in about a week! He doesn’t play with toys but loves food puzzles, learning commands, and running off leash.
Huck hasn’t met a cat until I fostered him. He’s very curious about my cat where they both sniffed but then scared each other since they differ in communication and play styles. He has potential to get along with cats but they should have their own separate spaces, especially vertical space for the cat since he wants to chase my cat when she runs. He tolerated my cat but grew jealous of her over time whenever I gave her attention. On walks, a couple cats crossed our paths and they didn’t faze Huck.
Huck is a good dog off leash with other dogs and people but still needs continued training on leash. When on leash, he pulls and barks, sometimes jumps, at strangers and other dogs but he is slowly improving when distracted with lots of treats. He tends to run towards other dogs to play. Treats don’t work as well to distract him and I’d have to grab the handle on his harness to break focus and sit for treats.
Ideally, his new home should have a large fenced yard or a fenced dog park nearby where he can run around in. He currently goes to doggy daycare multiple times a week.

There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

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 81,000 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.
