My story

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

Meet Dekker — Your Ultimate Velcro Aussie! Fosterd in Hendersonville, NC



Dekker is one of the sweetest little Australian Shepherds you’ll ever meet — a true heart-dog just waiting for his forever person.



About Dekker




  • Age: ~3 years

  • Weight: ~35 lbs

  • Breed: Australian Shepherd

  • Energy Level: Moderate / Low for an Aussie



Dekker’s favorite place in the world? Right by your side — or better yet, in your lap. He’s a gentle, affectionate boy who simply wants to be loved and included in your daily life.



Personality & Behavior




  • Fantastic with other dogs, cats, and kids

  • Very people-oriented — his humans are his whole world

  • Not your typical high-energy Aussie; calm and content

  • Pretty quiet, only barking occasionally at something new

  • Enjoys car rides and is a great passenger

  • Crate trained and up to date on all vetting



Home Preferences




  • A fenced yard is preferred so he can safely explore

  • Loves being with his people most of the time

  • Walks nicely on leash, though he does like to sniff and explore

  • May occasionally play with a toy, but human companionship always comes first



Dekker is the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, curl up beside you on the couch, and look at you like you hung the moon. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who just wants to be part of your life, Dekker might be your perfect match.

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).
