My story

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

Meet Fletcher – A Gentle Soul Looking for a Patient Heart



New Port Richey, FL | 1.5-Year-Old Australian Shepherd Mix



Fletcher is a handsome, shy young Aussie mix who just needs a little time — and a lot of love — to show you his sweet, loyal heart. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and protected with flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.



While fully potty trained, Fletcher isn’t crate trained due to extreme fear. Instead, he does best when left in a small, safe room for short periods. Once he feels secure, his affectionate personality shines, and he’ll gladly soak up gentle pets and playtime.



It’s believed that Fletcher didn’t get enough socialization as a puppy, so new people and unfamiliar dogs can be intimidating for him. He does best with slow introductions, ideally outdoors, where he can approach at his own pace.



Fletcher is learning leash manners and may need extra patience in new environments — he can be flighty on leash or in the car, so caution is a must. A secure, fenced yard is required for his safety.



He thrives in a calm, low-traffic home without young children. Teens 15+ may be a good fit if the home remains quiet and predictable. Fletcher gets along with friendly dogs, cats, and even livestock — and doesn’t mind birds at all! He may guard toys or treats at first but responds beautifully to positive reinforcement (especially if cheese is involved ).




  • Ideal Home

  • A patient adopter willing to continue his training and build trust

  • A calm, low-traffic household

  • A fenced yard for safe playtime

  • Another confident, friendly dog is recommended to help him feel secure (though not required)



With patience, understanding, and a kind heart, Fletcher will blossom into a devoted companion who rewards your care tenfold.



If you think Fletcher is the a perfect fit for you and your family please submit our adoption application at the link below.

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.
