My story

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

NOTE: COOPER IS WITH HIS OWNERS AND GSRSV HAS NOT MET HIM. WE ARE LISTING COOPER WITH OUR OWN DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE CONTACT MELISSA BOLANOS AT 707-334-9320 OR MELISSA.BOLANOS4062@GMAIL.COM.

"Cooper" is an approx. 100-lb, 2-yo neutered male GSD who is playful, friendly and energetic. Cooper is healthy and up-to-date on core vaccinations.

Cooper is friendly with strangers but is very exuberant and sometimes jumps up on them. He likes to play with children but is a bit too rambunctious for small kids.

Cooper is good with other dogs but plays too rough for the likes of little dogs. (He lives with two Chihuahuas but overwhelms them.)

Cooper has NOT been around cats and will likely not do well with them given his high energy level.

Cooper’s people keep him outside primarily so they can’t really say if he’s fully housetrained. However, they let him sleep inside the garage.

Cooper received basic obedience training at Petco when he was about eighteen months old. He walks OK on leash and obeys basic commands like sit, lie down and shake.

Cooper loves to go for rides in a vehicle.

Cooper loves to play to play with balls and toys and to play keep-away. He also loves to bite the water stream from a hose.

Cooper’s people (Alan & Melissa) adopted him from a friend about six months ago. Though they love
Cooper, they are now seeking a new home for him because Cooper’s habit of jumping up on people has created a health hazard for Melissa, who suffers from arthritis and has very weak knees.

Cooper is located in Martinez, CA. His adoption fee is $100.

Please contact Melissa Bolanos at either 707-334-9320 or melissa.bolanos4062@gmail.com.

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.
