My story

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

Jupiter is looking for his forever home! He needs a special family with at least one other dog, so he can emulate another dog! A fenced in yard would be the best!

Jupiters, precious life began as a bait dog. Although that life scared him, he is one sweet guy! He gets along with dogs, cats, kids, and all adults. He is very timid, and it will take a while for him to get used to you.

We began fostering Jupiter in October 2021 (he was about seven months old) and in April 2022 an older couple adopted him. The wife fell and hurt her back and the man found out he had later stages of liver disease. They brought him back to us in October 2022. He seems a little better, but he's still struggling with potty training. We let him out about every hour or two and even though he goes outside he still feels the need to use the pee pads at times.

We don't crate him because he has not been a fan since his life as a bait dog was spent in a crate. He does have free range in the house, but tends to stay put in his 'safe spot.' When he does come to join the family, he loves to cuddle and be talked to.

If you think Jupiter would make a great addition to your family, please fill out the application with ASF and let's get him home!

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 67,000 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.
