My story

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

NOTE: MAGGIE IS WITH THE COUPLE WHO FOUND HER AND TOOK HER TO THEIR HOME IN DURHAM, CA (NEAR CHICO). GSRSV HAS NOT MET MAGGIE. WE ARE LISTING MAGGIE FOR ADOPTION ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVER HER MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.

"Maggie" is a button-cute, approx 6-mos old female Belgian Malinois mix pup in urgent need of another foster or permanent home.

Maggie showed up at a construction site near Chico on 5-17-25, and one of the workers took her home. The worker and his wife (Jennifer) had the pup scanned for a chip, but she does not have one.
The couple have been keeping Maggie at their house, but they already have one dog and their landlord--who lives next door--will not allow them to keep a second dog. The landlord has given the couple until Sunday, June 1, to relocate Maggie.

Here's whAt Jennifer has to say about Maggie: "She is a sweet girl who is eager to learn. She was not house broken at all when we picked her up but only has a few accidents now. Doing great in a kennel over night. She loves being close and cuddling and is a love bug. She is learning to sit.

She is great with new people. She had not met my oldest son before but I had to leave Saturday to help my middle son move from San Jose and she had no aggression to him coming in to the house with his dog and girlfriend. All three dogs [including her Pit Bull] played great all day with no issues."

Maggie is located in Durham, just south of Chico. If you can foster Maggie for Jennifer and her husband, or if you're interested in adopting Maggie, please contact Jennifer Gomez at 530-415-2947 or jen.whirlpartners@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.
