My story

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

Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Ashland, OH

Meet Atlas! He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs between 35-40 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on shots, but isn’t on heartworm prevention. Atlas is nervous around strangers. He is great with kids and dogs! He hasn’t been tested around cats. Atlas bit the owner’s mother and sister when they tried to grab the owner’s kids. The owner is surrendering him because he isn’t receiving the attention and training that he needs. He needs to find a new furever home as soon as possible!

If you think you can provide a great home for Atlas, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Atlas.

Owner’s Contact Information: Chris Rolfe at (419) 606-8864 or erinnicole446@gmail.com.

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 82,000 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.
