My story

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

COMING SOON AND NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!



ULTIMATE VELCRO DOG ALERT
Now accepting applications for Zacho in Johnson City, Tennessee!



Meet Zacho — estimated 1–2 years old, about 55 lbs, and proudly holding the titles of Best Wiggle Butt and Brightest Smile in Town
Zacho came to ASF as an unclaimed stray found along the Tennessee–Alabama state line. While his past is a mystery, his present (and future!) is full of love, joy, and devotion.



Zacho lives for his people. And we mean lives. His favorite place? Right by your side. Whether he’s supervising chores, helping you make very important decisions at Lowe’s or Tractor Supply, or curling up for end-of-day snuggles, Zacho is happiest when he’s close. If you’re looking for a true velcro soul dog, Zacho may be your perfect match



Out and about, Zacho is a social butterfly who hasn’t met a stranger yet. He sits politely while his foster parents browse and chat, soaking up attention everywhere he goes. He may need a gentle reminder not to jump during initial greetings (he’s just excited!), but once that passes, he settles beautifully and is always happy to roll over for a belly rub.



With other dogs, Zacho is incredibly respectful. He shares treats, toys, and nylabones without issue and has shown zero aggression or resource guarding. He’d love a canine sibling, though it’s not required. Kids 10+ would be a great fit.
Zacho is not compatible with cats, bunnies, chickens, or other small pets.



Zacho will thrive in a home that offers continued training, regular exercise, and mental stimulation
Potty trained
Mostly crate trained (treats help!)
Sleeps quietly through the night
Leash skills improving every day



Zacho is heartworm-negative, up to date on vaccines and monthly preventatives, and is scheduled to be neutered on February 5th. He’ll be ready to go home once he’s recovered.



If Zacho sounds like your boy, please fill out an application — he’s ready to be someone’s shadow, best friend, and biggest fan



If you think Zacho is the boy for you, feel free to put an application to get pre-qualified to adopt this Handsome boy!

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).
