My story

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

"Stormy" is a 77-lb, 3-yo spayed female GSD who is very sweet, friendly and playful. She’s healthy and up-to-date on core vaccinations.

Stormy is friendly with people of all ages, both inside the house and beyond. She’s even good with babies! Her groomers call her a “sweet lovebug!” (She loves to be brushed.)

Stormy is good with other dogs, though she has not been around many other dogs since she was adopted in February 2023. She has not interacted with any small dogs.   

Stormy is good with the resident outdoor cat. She will chase the cat if it runs but has never hurt it.

Stormy is fully housetrained. Her people keep her in their backyard when they are away from their house. She sleeps inside in a closed crate at night.

Stormy has received some obedience training and obeys basic commands. She loves to go for walks and does well on leash. She is fairly non-reactive towards other dogs when on leash.

Stormy loves to go for rides in the car and is a good passenger.

Stormy loves to fetch a ball and then play keep-away.

Stormy was originally rescued from the Solano County Shelter by GSRSV on Jan 14, 2023. She was adopted in February 2023 by a couple (Holly & Nick) in Brentwood (Contra Costa County). Though they love Stormy, they can no longer provide her with the active lifestyle they know she loves due to medical issues that restrict both of them physically. Holly & Nick will be fostering Stormy while GSRSV seeks a new home for her.

Stormy in located in Brentwood, CA. Her adoption fee is $300.

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.

Adoption application

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.
