My story

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

FIG is Ready for his Forever Home!



Everyone meet Fig!



Fig LOVES her toys!
Tennis balls, herding balls, soccer balls — you name it, Fig is obsessed! And right now, Lambie (yes, Lamb Chop ) is her absolute favorite cuddle companion. Honestly? She loves all toys and all treats. No discrimination here



As an Aussie, Foster Fig’s smarts are off the charts — but what really sets her apart is her extra dose of empathy. She has boundless enthusiasm for play and adventure, yet also knows exactly when it’s time to relax. Truly the best of both worlds



Little Fig is in California, still patiently waiting for her perfect match.



She loves:
• Long walks on the beach
• Hikes and scenic walks
• Staying active with her person



If you’re an active human looking for an adventure buddy, Fig just might be your girl



Fig at a glance:
• 5 years old
• 30 lbs
• Spayed
• Up to date on vaccinations



Important notes about Fig:




  • Kid Free Home would be best -

  • Would love to be an only dog, but is currently working on social skills with very calm, friendly dogs

  • Absolutely loves people

  • Rides very well in the car

  • Walks great on leash; may pull when excited or spotting squirrels

    • Front clip on a Ruffwear Front Range harness stops pulling immediately



  • Always on squirrel patrol

  • Cats: depends on the cat

    • Calm cats are fine

    • Playful/taunting cats trigger chase mode



  • A snuggle bug on her terms

  • Prefers her dog bed next to the human bed (not on the bed)

  • Sleeps deeply — best not to touch when asleep as she can startle

  • Respecting her space is a must

  • Does well in a crate when needed (used only during house-sitting)

  • Has full freedom at home

  • Never had an accident indoors and has never chewed anything



Smart, loving, playful, and ready to explore life with you — Fig is the kind of dog who turns everyday moments into adventures



If you think Fig is the girl for you, feel free to put an application to get pre-qualified to adopt this beautiful girl!

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).
