German Shepherd Rescue of Sacramento Valley (GSRSV) is a tax-exempt (501-c-3) charitable organization dedicated to finding good homes for German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes whose caregivers can no longer keep them or which are confined in animal shelters and potentially facing euthanasia. Established in 2001, GSRSV is operated primarily by one person, Brian Foran. GSRSV houses some of its adoptable dogs at its 45-acre "rescue ranch" in Pleasant Grove, CA, which is also a sanctuary for "unadoptable" dogs as well as Brian's home. GSRSV has a small but steady network of foster caretakers who care for rescued dogs in their homes until they are adopted.
1. Take a look at the Dogs Available for Adoption through GSRSV page to see if there is a dog that you're interested in. 2. Contact Brian Foran at either 916-655-3125 or [email protected] for more information about a particular dog. At times, there may be other dogs available for adoption not posted on this Web site--be sure to ask. 3. STOP!!Please do not fill out an adoption questionnaire unless there is a specific dog or dogs that you're interested in AND you've discussed this dog with me! Complete my Adoption Questionnaire. 4. Once I review your questionnaire, I will call or e-mail you to further discuss the dog. If I feel that you are a good match for the dog, I will set up a home check. Please allow several days for me to review your questionnaire, as I do not go online every day and have many dogs to take care of in addition to maintaining my Website and replying to e-mail messages. The primary purpose of the home check is to ensure that the yard has a secure fence and no hazards for the dog(s). 5. If you have already seen the dog that you want to adopt, and I have determined that you will be able to provide a safe and secure environment for your new dog, you are welcome to adopt the dog that I've "pre-approved" you for. If you have yet to see the dog that you want to adopt, that is the next step. Ideally, I would like to bring the dog(s) that you want to adopt to you so that I can see how the dog(s) responds in your home environment. However, if you live a good distance from my rescue facility in Pleasant Grove, I will likely ask that you drive to the rescue facility to see the dog(s) before your home check, or to adopt the dog here after your home check. 6. I will ask that you sign my Adoption Contract. Please read this contract ahead of time so you understand my expectations of those who adopt dogs through my program, and my commitments to adopters. If you find that the German Shepherd you adopt from GSRSV does not work out, you can return it to GSRSV at any point during the dog's life. (If you return the dog within two weeks of adoption, I will refund your entire adoption fee.) This arrangement protects both the adopter and the dog--I want to make sure that my rescued dogs go to a home where both the owner and the dog are happy!
