My personality

My story

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

"Priya" is an approx. 70-lb, 1½-yo spayed female GSD mix who is loving, lively and smart. She is very affectionate and loves to snuggle! Priya is healthy, up-to-date on core vaccinations, and microchipped.

Priya is very friendly with people of all ages, whether inside the house or out and about. She is well-mannered with guests and does not jump up on them. Priya did great with young children who visited her foster caretakers; she was affectionate and played well with them!

Priya is very social with other dogs. She spent several days at GSRSV's rescue ranch in mid-August and got along great with all the other dogs, even when she had to share my attention up on the bed. I took her to a friend's house with several small dogs and she was fine w/ them as well. She enjoys playing with other dogs that have a similar energy level.

Priya has not interacted with cats since we rescued her. Her body language when seeing cats from afar shows intensity, so her compatibility with cats will need further evaluation.

Priya is fully housetrained and has not had any accidents in her foster home. She is also non-destructive inside. Her foster caretakers keep her crated when her they are away and at night. Although she initially experiences mild separation anxiety while crated, she is not destructive.

On walks, Priya's eagerness to explore means she requires a handler who can continue her leash training. She is learning to check in with her handler and is steadily improving her leash manners. She has good recall when off-leash in the backyard, and likes to stay near her people.

Priya loves car rides and does great in the car. She hops right in and lays down calmly throughout the drive.

Priya loves all kinds of toys (ropes, balls, plush, etc.) and enjoys any playful interaction (chasing after the toys, tug-of-war, etc.). She also loves to romp around with her foster carertakers’ resident male GSD.

Priya was brought to the Stanislaus County Shelter as a stray on 5-24-24. She was scheduled to be euthanized in early July due to space constraints at the shelter, but her current foster caretakers stepped forward and offered to foster her for GSRSV—an offer I readily accepted. GSRSV rescued Priya on 7-10-24.

If you're interested in giving Priya the loving forever home she deserves, please reach out!

Priya is located in Orangevale. Her adoption fee is $300.

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.

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.
