My story

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

Meet Beth! Fostered in Maine!



Beth’s known story begins a few months ago when a man dropped her off at a shelter in Long Island, NY. He claimed she was a stray, but it is suspected he was her owner.



Beth did not enjoy shelter life. She had severe anxiety to the point of requiring sedatives every day. It was too loud and active for her. Her anxiety showed in the form of panting, pacing, and growling. Three months passed and her time was up. To avoid euthanasia, Australian Shepherds Furever a 501c3 non profit stepped in to save her.



Beth is a black tri colored Aussie (mix?), estimated at about 5 years of age. She has adorable curly hair, a cute nub tail, and weighs in at about 42 lbs.



The GOOD:




  • Spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and preventatives

  • Heartworm Negative

  • Potty trained

  • Crate trained

  • Walks well on leash

  • Loves car rides, hiking, ZOOMIES, anything outside

  • Tennis balls are LIFE

  • Good for bath time

  • Loves people (slow intro to new, warms up quick)

  • Great with other (slow intro to new)

  • Good with dog-savvy , though will chase if one runs by! Oops!

  • Couch snuggles are the best and she will paw at you to get those chest scratches in!

  • Knows SIT and DOWN



The Beth CHALLENGE:




  • Dogs on TV require protecting the home in the form of barking and growling. Desensitization in progress!

  • Too much activity inside the home is stressful and pacing and chewing random things is SOOTHING. Beth prefers a quiet home (kids teenage+ only). One or two other dogs is just fine.

  • Stranger danger results in grumbles until it appears SAFE, then all is well. Beth recovers quickly once she knows there is no threat.



IDEAL HOME: Beth is learning how to settle in a quiet household with minimal activity. Because of her anxiety (she will come with sedatives to use as needed), she requires a home that is quiet, with minimal traffic. One or two dogs to play with are fine. Cats are negotiable. Kids at home need to be teenage-aged or older, and respectful of her space. She will need to build some confidence in order to be comfortable and happy the rest of her life, so experience in this area, or working with a POSITIVE trainer is a must.



Beth is a love who wants to be with her people. She needs someone to meet her where she is in life, understanding that it’s not been the greatest for her thus far.

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.
