Here's what the humans have to say about me:
“Ember” is a stunning, approx 70-lb, 3-yo spayed female GSD mix who is sweet, gentle and affectionate. She is healthy, fully vaccinated and microchipped.
Ember is friendly with everyone she meets, whether inside the house or out on walks. She really enjoys affection and will soak it up whenever it is offered. She recently met two young children and was very sweet and gentle with them.
Ember has done well with both male and female dogs. She presently lives with an adult male GSD and a very young male Great Pyrenees mix and does great with both, especially the puppy. (Click on the following link for a video of Ember playing w/ the pup: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1118111186455966.
Ember has NOT been around cats since we rescued her in late November, so we are seeking a home without cats for her.
Ember is fully housetrained and has not had a single “accident” inside since we rescued her. Her foster caretakers keep her in a large wire crate when they are gone, and also keep her in the crate at night. Ember does fine in the crate.
Ember is well-behaved in general and has a moderate energy level. She is food-motivated and responsive to training. Ember walks well on the leash and has quickly learned to stay by her handler's side. She is non-reactive when passing other dogs and will continue calmly walking on the leash.
Ember does well getting into the car and sits in the backseat. She experienced car-sickness on her transport from Salinas to Orangevale, but her foster caretakers have been taking her on short car rides to get her more accustomed to riding in a vehicle and her motion sickness has diminished.
Ember has not played with toys much since her rescue, but she will sometimes chew on a Nylabone.
Ember was found as a stray and brought to the “Hitchcock Rd” animal shelter in Salinas, CA, on November 20. Though her owner was contacted, they were unable to take her back. GSRSV rescued Ember on Nov 28 and she has been in a foster home in Orangevale since Nov 30.
Ember's adoption fee is $300.

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.
