Princeton
1 year old neutered mini Aussie
Up to date on shots
Heartworm and Lyme negative
Currently on Interceptor Plus heartworm prevention
Princeton is a curious and comical one year old pup in a small package. He is a mini
Aussie standing just 16 inches tall and weighing 24 lbs. Princeton had very little exposure during his puppy stage in life and spent 19 days in a shelter. We have no idea what his life was like before that except that we were told he was crated most of the time.
Princeton came to ASF with a urinary tract infection and reactive to being put back in his
crate. He would thrash around and try to bite the person holding the collar. This is
understandable since he probably got out very little at the shelter was possibly handled
with some force. He is adapting quite well to his new surroundings and loves having a
stable environment. He can still be reactive when his collar is grabbed, so an adopter
will need to continue to work on making it a positive experience. He does this out of
fear, not aggression. He now willingly goes in his crate with a treat at night or when no
one is home. He might bark for a short time but quickly settles down.
Princeton’s energy is infectious, and he loves to play with his foster sisters who are
twice his size (although he can play rough and needs a tolerant playmate). He would
excel on a farm or with an active family with a fenced yard and some playmates.
Although he is small, he still has a herd drive and has not been tested with small
children, cats, or other small animals.
Princeton tends to jump and play nip when
excited, but he is getting much better. He does not like men but will gradually warm up to them. He will growl and bark but has never tried to bite a new person.
Princeton is mostly housebroken but still has the occasional accident. He gets so
excited playing with his friends; that he forgets to do his business. Usually, he is very
vocal and talks to you when he wants to go out.
Princeton still needs some work on leash training and basic commands and would do well in obedience or agility classes. He requires ample playtime and socialization as he is still a puppy at heart. He does have some separation anxiety so having other canine companions will help. His new owner will need to have patience with him and willing to work through his few behavioral problems. Continued training will be essential.
Princeton seems to get better every day. If you can open your heart to this little fellow,
please fill out an application today. He is ready for his furever home. Princeton is being
fostered in Milton, DE.

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 85,000 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.
