My story

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

Please meet Mr. Disco Duck in Oswego, NY. He is a 2.5 yr old Border Collie who LOVES: snuggling, car rides, catching and bringing back tennis balls (for hours), walks, sitting for brushing, and is very quick to learn. His eyes are full of love when looking into his human's eyes. He knows how to open gates and house doors that have lever handles.

Disco never ceases to amaze me. He wanted a snack and barked at me until I had to get up and ask him what he wanted. He brought me into the kitchen and looked up to where the "cookie" jar was and sat down waiting for his cookie. BEWARE of the slurpy kisses! Disco is so full of love for his humans and is a silly boy. Disco needs some obedience training. At 67# he is very strong, but will learn quickly. He responds well to the leash, because he knows that means a walk, but he does pull (working on that) because he's so excited. Disco Duck would LOVE TO TRY AGILITY. He already jumped over a 4 ft gate, to be with me in the kitchen, from a standing position! Hiking would be right up his alley too. He is a challenge, but what Boarder Collie isn't?

Disco needs to go to an experience and knowledgeable Boarder Collie human and be the ONLY DOG. He is jealous and becomes very possessive of his human and will not let other dogs come near. Disco is up to date on all vaccines and has an apt to be neutered on 4/6/24. Please do not be intimidated by this boy. He's young and has A LOT OF LOVE AND DEVOTION for the right human.

Professional Training is a must, as does any BC, due to their high activity level and intelligence. He's a big goof ball that will fill your heart with love and tire you out!

If you want to give this boy a loving home, please fill out our application:

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.
