My story

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

NOTE: Bella is with her person, Darrell Nations. GSRSV has not met Bella. We are listing her along w/ the GSRSV adoptable dogs to giver her more adoption exposure. Darrell is blind, so Bella has limited exposure to such things as walking on leash and meeting other dogs (other than the female she lives with.

“Bella” is an approx 55-lb, 3-yo spayed female GSD mix who is loving, energetic and friendly. Bella is in good health and Is current on core vaccinations.

Bella is friendly with strangers and is eager to meet new people. She loves being the center of attention. She has not been around children since she was adopted a year ago.

Bella has had some altercations with the other female dog she lives with (a Vietnamese Ridgeback), but might do OK with a male dog.

Bella lives with a cats and does fine with her.

Bella is housetrained and sleeps inside on Darrell’s bed. She stays inside when Darrell is gone for more than an hour.

Bella enjoys car rides and is a polite passenger.

Bella likes to play fetch with all kinds of balls.

Darrell adopted Bella from the Elk Grove shelter about a year ago. He is now seeking a new home for her because Bella and his other female dog do not get along.

Bella is located in Sacramento. Her adoption fee is $100, per GSRSV’s insistence.

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.
