My story

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

NOTE: CHURCHILL IS AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ELK GROVE. GSRSV HAS NOT ME CHURCHILL. WE ARE LISTING HIM ON THIS WEBSITE WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.

"Churchill" is an approx 80- lb, 3-yo neutered male GSD/Golden Retriever who is affectionate and playful. Churchill is healthy, microchipped, and ready to go home with you. Churchill is presently at the Elk Grove animal shelter.

Churchill is friendly with all people, including children.
Churchill was initially very defensive around other dogs when brought to the shelter in January 2024. Over time, staff and volunteers have been able to get him more comfortable around other dogs, and he has even made a few canine friends while at the shelter! He is still a little selective about which dogs he wants to be friends with, which is understandable.

Churchill is housetrained and obeys basic commands. He was in a temporary foster home for awhile and did well with the resident dog there after a slow introduction.

Churchill absolutely loves to play fetch with tennis balls. He also enjoys swimming.

Unfortunately, Churchill has become quite stressed due to being kenneled for so long so the shelter is really hoping to find him a permanent (or even foster) home ASAP.

Churchill’s adoption fee is only $100. If you’re interested If interested in adopting Churchill, please contact the Elk Grove Animal Shelter at (916) 687-3042 and refer to him by his ID #: A052098.

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.
