My story

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

NOTE: HEIDI IS AT THE MUNICIPAL ANIMAL SHELTER IN FREMONT, CA. GSRSV HAS HOT MET HEIDI. WE ARE LISTING HER WITH OUR OWN DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HER MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE.

"Heidi" is an approx 55-60 lb, 2-3 yo spayed female GSD mix who is sweet, gentle and somewhat goofy. Heidi is healthy and up-to-date on core vaccinations.

Heidi is somewhat timid with new people, but once she warms up she adores human company. She does wonderfully with children.

Heidi does great with other dogs and cats as well. She lived with a cat (see picture on couch) for two weeks in a foster home.

Heidi is fully housetrained and when she was in her foster home she even used a bell by the door when she wanted to go outside. She slept on a dog bed next to her foster caretaker’s bed.

Heidi is very needy and wants to be with her people all the time. However, when she was in her foster home, her people kept her in a closed room with a baby gate protecting the door and Heidi caused no damage.

Heidi is still learning leash manners, but with a Gentle Leader she walks like a pro.

Heidi loves car rides and is a very chill passenger.

A couple found Heidi last December as a stray in the Quarrey Lakes Regional Recreation Area in Fremont, CA. They fostered her for two weeks but were unable to keep her beyond that time so brought her to the municipal animal shelter in Fremont, where Heidi is currently located.

The couple grew very fond of Heidi is the short time she was with them and they are now actively trying to find somebody to adopt her or a rescue group to pull her from the shelter. If you would like to speak directly with the people who found and fostered Heidi, please contact Martin Huang at 513-687-8826 or martinhuangcwp@gmail.com.

To contact the Fremont shelter regarding Heidi, call 510-790-6640 or e-mail animalservices@fremont.gov and refer to Heidi's ID #: 187662,

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.
