Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTE: MAX IS WITH HIS PEOPLE IN FOLSOM. GSRSV HAS NOT MET MAX. WE ARE LISTING HIM ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE.PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.
"Max" is an approx 85-lb, 7-yo (born 10-10-16) neutered male GSD who is loyal, protective and affectionate. Max is healthy overall, but does suffer from ear infections that require routine cleaning. Max just received his rabies & distemper/parvo boosters on July 14.
Max always alert-barks appropriately when new people enter the house, but he is OK with them when properly introduced. He is protective when out on walks. Max is fine with the children he lives with, ages 4½ & 1½ yrs old.
Max is OK with other dogs, but is on the timid side. He gets overwhelmed when there are many dogs around, such as at a dog park. He does OK w/ small dogs.
It’s unknown how Max does with cats.
Max is housetrained and fine when left in the house alone. He sleeps in a large wire enclosure at night.
Max received formal obedience training between 1½ to 2 yrs old. He walks great on a leash without distractions, but is reactive towards other dogs he sees. His people use a prong collar to effectively redirect Max’s attention away from other dogs. His people do not usually bring Max to areas where he is off leash, but his recall is great in the back yard.
Max enjoys car rides and though he whines at first is otherwise a polite passenger. Max enjoys playing fetch, hide & seek, and squeaky toys. He is not a fan of water.
Max’s people took him in from another family six years ago when they were about to surrender him to a shelter. Max has been a valued family member since then. Oover the last two years the family’s daughter has developed severe allergies to Max, so sadly, they are now seeking a new home for Max
Max is located in Folsom. His adoption fee is $200.

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.
