My story

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

NOTE: HAVANA IS AT THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHELTER ON BRADSHAW RD. GSRSV HAS NOT MET HAVANA. WE ARE LISTING HER ALONG WITH OUT OTHER ADOPTABLE DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HER MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE.

Some statements are controversial: Dutch Bros is better than Starbucks. (Or not.) We should do away with daylight saving time. (Or not.) Toy Story 4 is better than Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3. (Or not.) However, some statements are not controversial: Havana is the goodest girl.When you walk Havana on a leash, she will float beside you like a low-lying cloud. You will not even know that she is there, except for when you pass by someone and they inevitably comment, "Oh my gosh, she is the goodest girl." If you sit down next to Havana, please exercise caution. This is because she will inevitably rest her head in your lap, gaze up at you in pure adoration, and your heart will be officially stolen. At this point, you will be unable to resist adopting her.

Donation
GSRSV became a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, charitable organization in March 2013. All donations to GSRSV are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Since February 2001, Brian Foran has funded GSRSV primarily on his own. Donations have played--and continue to play--a huge part in keeping GSRSV afloat, as adoption fees are a drop-in-the-bucket compared with the costs of running a large rescue program.
To make a monetary donation, please go to the donation page on GSRSV's Website: www.gsrsv.org/DonationsNeeded.htm. Thanks for your support!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. View my dogs available for adoption, either on this Website or on our own Website (www.gsrsv.org). I also list German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes for other rescue groups and inviduals on my Website.

2. Contact Brian Foran at 916-655-3125 or bab43@msn.com to discuss the particular dog(s) that you're interested in.

3. Complete my adoption questionnaire. It is a downloadable Microsoft Word file on the page of my Website titled "How to Adopt a Dog through GSRSV." If possible, return the questionnaire via e-mail.

4. Go see the dog you're interested in--at my rescue facility, at the home of the dog's foster caretaker, or at the home of the dog's owner.

5. If you decide to adopt a dog, I will have you sign my adoption contract and pay the appropriate adoption fee, which varies between $300 to $100, depending on the age of the dog and whether it is a purebred GSD or not. This fee includes spaying or neutering, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations, heartworm check, and a 6-month supply of heartworm preventative. The adoption contract is on the same page of my Website as is the adoption questionnaire.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Because I am an independent rescuer caring for many dogs, I am presently unable to conduct regular adoption or "meet & greet" events.

I only arrange for people to meet the dogs that I have available for adoption after I have discussed the dog and have received an adoption questionnaire from them.

More about this rescue

Adopt a Pet SILVER Certified Partner badge
German Shepherd Rescue of Sacramento Valley (GSRSV) is an organization dedicated to finding good homes for German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) at risk of being placed in shelters, or who are already in shelters and possibly facing euthanasia. GSRSV is an independent rescue organization operated by one individual: Brian Foran. Though countless volunteers and benefactors have supported--and continue to support--GSRSV, I run and primarily fund the program, as I have since February 2001.
