My story

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

NOTE: .LUCKY IS IN A FOSTER HOME IN CONCORD, CA. GSRSV HAS NOT MET HIM. WE ARE LISTING LUCKY ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS BIO FOR CONTACT INFO.

Are you looking for a loving companion? Look no further! Lucky is a 5-year-old neutered male German Shepherd with a heart full of love to give. He is incredibly friendly and well-mannered, making him a great companion. Lucky also adores the company of other dogs and he plays with the neighborhood dogs at the local park. But what truly sets Lucky apart is his intelligence and human-like demeanor. He's smart beyond belief, and his ability to connect with people is truly remarkable.

Please see a great video of Lucky on this page. It really shows what an easy-going, personable and playful dog he is.

Lucky initially exhibited separation anxiety, but it has improved considerably and his foster caretaker can now leave him alone for short periods of time without any problem.When accompanied by a human, he is easy to care for and has a calm demeanor. Lucky began training to help with his separation anxiety Aug. 2 with Trish King, a well known dog behaviorist.

Underdog Rescue rescued Lucky from the animal shelter in Martinez, CA, and he was welcomed into a foster home. However, the foster caretaker was called to military duty and Lucky is now with her aunt--who has heart trouble and isn't able to walk him! A shelter volunteer (Debbie) is walking Lucky three times a week but it’s simply not enough and it’s hard on the aunt. Further, she will be moving from her house soon and won't be able to foster Lucky after that.

Lucky says thank you for considering him as your next pet!

Lucky is located in Concord.

If you'd like to know more about Lucky please call or text Debbie Rodriguez at 925-933-4842. Together we can make a difference in the life of this extraordinary dog.

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.

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

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.
