My story

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

Meet Blaze – A Devoted 5-Year-Old Australian Shepherd Seeking His Forever Home



Blaze is not your typical high-octane Aussie.



He’s the steady, soulful, Velcro kind.



At 5 years old, Blaze is neutered, fully up to date on vaccines, and wonderfully even-keeled (energy level: about a 3/10). He prefers a relaxed “sniffari” and a 15–20 minute daily walk over long hikes or runs. After that? He’s happiest sleeping on the floor beside your bed or quietly keeping watch over his people.



Blaze came to us through an owner surrender when his family moved into an HOA condo that only allowed one dog. This wasn’t about behavior — it was about circumstance. And he has handled the transition like an absolute champ.



What We Love About Blaze:



• Sweet, soft, and huggable
• Devoted and protective in the best way
• Quiet (except to alert you when the Amazon driver arrives!)
• Highly crate trained — he loves his crate
• Fully house trained
• Knows his basic commands
• Steps right into his harness for walks
• Great with most kids
• Has tolerated cats in limited interactions (no cat home currently)
• Gets along with other dogs, though may show mild herding tendencies



Health & Lifestyle



Blaze has had a successful TPLO surgery on one knee and takes two daily joint supplements. Because of this, he does best in a home with carpeted stairs or a single-level layout. He is perfectly content with moderate daily activity and does not require intense exercise.



Personality & Home Match



Blaze is a sensitive, intelligent Australian Shepherd who communicates clearly. He may offer a gentle growl when unsure, and he thrives with people who understand and respect herding breeds.



He bonds deeply and wants to be close to his humans — this is a dog who truly wants to be your companion.



He would do well as an only dog or with a confident canine sibling in a calm, stable home.



Adoption Details



Blaze is currently being fostered in Tennessee.

More about this rescue

Nancy Pearlman-Gonzalez, Founder and CEO, created Australian Shepherds Furever (ASF), a non-profit organization to promote the education, rescue, fostering and adoption of the Australian Shepherd breed of dog.
In July 2012, Australian Shepherds Furever (ASF) initiated as a page on Facebook. Hoping to have 1,000 members at the end one year, ASF quickly grew into a network of more than 58,000 dedicated individuals striving to provide aid and refuge to Aussies all over the country.
From these phenomena, the website www.australianshepherdsfurever.org was developed to educate the public on this intelligent and beautiful breed, and provide resources to those seeking help or willing to contribute to the Adopt, Save and Foster (ASF) philosophy. ASF filed for non- profit status in July 2013 and obtained its status in July 2014 and through proactive networking, partnerships, training/rehabilitation and fundraising, ASF has saved the lives of countless dogs to include those with Parvo, Mange, Tick Disease, Cancer, Pneumonia, broken limbs and some of the most extreme cases of abuse that one could imagine. ASF focuses on the Aussies that most would turn their backs on. ASF is in its 5th year and over 1,910 Australian Shepherds have been rescued from high kills shelters, abusive owners and other high-risk situations.
We, as humans, have a responsibility to uphold, shelter and care for those beings that are less fortunate, that are simply cast away. Thanks to proactive individuals who work collectively, Aussies nationwide are being given a chance at a better life through Australian Shepherds Volunteers are an integral component of ASF for the maintenance of the website, screening potential fosters and adopters, providing training, fundraising, data base management, networking and transporting of recued Aussies. All Volunteers; Adopters, Fosters, Trainers and Transporters etc. are carefully screened and vetted to assure the safe and vital placement of these dogs into furever homes. We currently have over 170 foster families and over 160 dogs in foster care nationwide. We have professional trainers to work with our dogs with severe behavioral issues. We also have a team of Rescue Coordinators, Medical Advisors, Fundraisers, Regional Reps, Application Processors, Data Base Managers, Social Media Managers, Microchip and ID tag Registrars and Ground and Air Transport Coordinators that work together to save these beautiful dogs.
Furever (ASF).
