Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTE: GASTON IS WITH HIS PEOPLE IN ROSEVILLE, CA. GSRSV. HAS NOT MET GASTON. WE ARE LISTING HIM ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.
"Gaston" is an approx 60-lb, 2-yo neutered male GSD/Husky who is goofy, playful and somewhat fearful of new people and places. Gaston is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Gaston’s father is a Siberian Husky and his mother is a GSD.
Gaston is initially fearful of new people he meets and barks at them, but warms up eventually. Even then, he is uncomfortable when new people want to make close contact with him. He is great with the 11 & 9-yo children he lives with, but is NOT good with children he does not know.
Gaston lives with a male Husky (his father) and a Dachshund, and plays well with both of them. Gaston has not had experience with other dogs, however.
Gaston has never been around cats, so a home without cats is sought for him.
Gaston Is housetrained and is fairly obedient. He has not received any formal obedience training and has had very little experience on a leash. His people do not take him for walks as Gaston gets scared when he sees strangers and other dogs. Gaston’s people keep him in his crate when they are away and also at night.
Gaston does OK riding in a car, but can get anxious at times. He is very playful and loves to play fetch and jump on the trampoline.
Gaston’s people (Molly & Ian) raised him from a puppy. During that time, another family was living with them and there was lots of activity and children running around—perhaps too much activity for Gaston, which may have led to his fearfulness. Though his family loves him, there have been two incidents in which Gaston nipped a child (other than Molly & Ian’s children). This has forced them to seek a new home for Gaston—one without children.
Gaston is located in Roseville. There is no adoption fee for Gaston, but prospective adopters will be carefully screened.
Please contact Molly Patterson at 916-218-9357 or patterson.molly@ymail.com.

Rescue
This organization is committed to providing a positive adoption experience!
Learn more.
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.

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.
