Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
NOTE: MINNIE IS AT THE SANTA CRUZ SPCA. GSRSV HAS NOT MET MINNIE. WE ARE LISTING HER ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HER MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.
"Minnie" is a petite (about 45-lb), approx 2-yo spayed female GSD mix who is cuddly, affectionate, and playful.
Minnie is an absolute dream in the house. (She's presently in a foster home.) Potty-trained, calm and quiet, doesn't chew anything inappropriate, and doesn't mind being left alone. She's a perfect medium size so she can be picked up if need be and fits nicely in the car, in the bed...in your lap.
DNA tests revealed that Minnie is a German Shepherd, Husky, Pittie mix. The smarts, loyalty, and obedience of the GSD shine through all day long. The desire to protect her home and person has also joined the chat on occasion, which is very GSD of her, and will be a blessing that requires some management. We could imagine this coming in handy on the nights alone after watching too much true crime!
This sweet girl has made many dog friends and regularly goes on pack walks and hikes with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. She prefers a dog friend who isn't overly flirty and in her face and a thoughtful intro is important. She coexists peacefully with the othe dog in her foster home and they play very well together. (See elsewhere on this page for a video of Minnie playing w/ the other dog.) That said, peace would not be found with cats.
There is much more to say about Miss Minnie so give us a call or fill out an Adopter's Profile so we can really get into the nitty gritty to see if this gem of a dog could be a fit for you!

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.

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
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.
