Story
This sweet dog is about 10 years old. He was recently left behind when my coworkers had to move to another state quickly. I’m trying to find a home for him because he’s been living in their yard since they’ve left. He has food and water but no indoor place to stay. He did seem to be a little lost mentally. When he was a puppy he was victim to the hayfork fires and inhaled a lot of the smoke from the burning marijuana farms. His owners told me that they believed that’s the reason he is a little slow mentally. He is very sweet though. I just really want to find a home for him so he doesn’t have to sleep outside anymore

Story
We got Zen from the pound when she was a puppy. She is approximately 3 years old now. We are looking for a new home for her because we feel she would be happier in a family where she is the only dog. Zen was food aggressive and would resource guard water and toys as a puppy. We currently have a 5 year old golden retriever as well, which for the most part they get along very with each other. Zen goes for walks, plays in the pool, runs at the park. Overall she is a sweet girl and would do great in an active family that goes on long walks, visits parks, or anything outside. More about her and her personality: - Husky/German Shepherd mix. - Social - Potty Trained. - We’ve spent time training her, she knows: sit, stay, spin, drop it, shake, come, and leave it. - She is kennel trained. She is a great guard dog. She has protected our fruit trees from many critters and always alertive. We’d be more than to answer any questions or give more information about her personality.

Story
Silver came into the rescue with a badly injured rear leg. At his first vet visit it was discovered after imaging that he had actually been shot in the rear leg. Because of silver's young age the vet approximated the wound to have happened when he was around 4 months of age. Unfortunately the bullet fragmented a lot as well as completely destroyed the ability to surgically reconstruct it . In addition to all this the leg was badly infected because the wound was at least 6 months old already and never was cared for.He does use his rear leg to a degree and all the nerves seem to be intact. But he will have a limp for the rest of his life. He is the sweetest boy and loves getting attention and learning new skills.

Story
Onyx has an estimated birthday of 1/15/2025. We are not positive of his breeding. He definitely has Shepard ears and has slight colored spots with German Shepherd coloring. We estmate he will be a large dog approximately 70+ lbs. Onyx is extremely smart. He is very cuddly. I find dogs rescued from the homeless tend to be very cuddly. He is a puppy with lots of puppy energy. He loves toys. He minds really well. He knows basic commands of sit, wait, and sits patiently for release command to eat his meals. He walks really well on a leash. I'm the foster and have been training him to walk on my side. I will be teaching more basic training while he is in foster care. He is kennel trained. Onyx was rescued rescued the day after Easter 4/21/25 with a broken leg. He was a puppy that was owned by a homeless man, but then the man moved into an apartment and couldn't take puppy Onyx so he tied him to a fence post and left him. Luckily for Onyx another homeless woman took him, but she only had him for a month when she was riding her bike and Onyx was on a leash running next to her when is little leg got caught in a spoke. Other homeless witnesses heard Onyx scream and saw his snapped leg. Poor little guy was in a lot of pain. I was notified the next day and I was able to get him from the homeless lady at 9 pm. A trip to the vet and an x-ray verified it was broken so he wore a doing for six weeks. Onyx is very friendly with all people. Loves kids. He is ok with cats that know dogs. He is living in a foster home with foster cats. He should be OK with other dogs at this time he has not been allowed to play with the other foster dogs because of his split he was on mostly rest time for his leg to heal. He sees the other dogs and his kennel is next to the other dogs and is not reactive. He has two weeks of physical therapy which ends 6/20 then he will get time to play with another dog. I'm sure he will love it. He will be a great family dog. Great playmate for another dog. A great walker if you want company on a walk. He had been on kennel rest with the broken leg and would wine if he needed to go potty. We will begin normal potty training as he can use his leg longer through the day. Onyx is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped.

This sweet girl came in with 3 of her sisters as young puppies. Their mom was rescued by a kind couple in Rosarito Mexico but they could not keep the puppies. The girls were such sweeties but are very timid. Molly is the last of the sisters still here waiting for their forever homes. She is the sweetest thing but very timid so she would do best with a calm and kind person with lots of patience and understanding.

Story
"Milo" is an approx 70-lb, 2-yo neutered male GSD mix who is very affectionate, playful and submissive. Milo is friendly with everyone he meets, both inside the house and beyond. He loves to be held and petted. At times, he seems overly-needy of affection, but then he does have to compete for affection with several other dogs at the GSRSV rescue ranch. I have not observed Milo with children but I think he'll be great with kids. Milo is great with other dogs. He's very playful with dogs who are somewhat submissive like he is. He gets scared of those dogs who play really rough. Milo's only drawback w/ other dogs is that sometimes he gets possessive around food. This behavior has subsided considerably since I took Milo in, and I can now feed him biscuits with dogs right next to him without him showing any aggression at all. However, if he has a "special treat", like a bone, he will become possessive over it. I have not had Milo around cats but I imagine he'd do OK w/ them. I will consider a home for Milo w/ a dog-savvy cat or two, but only if there is already a dog in the home. Milo is completely housetrained and has never had an accident in the house since I rescued him. He is crate-trained as well. Milo appears to walk well on a leash, though I haven't had him on leash much at all. He seems to know some basic commands. Milo is a dog who would love to have somebody around most of the time to give him love and attention. He really craves affection. GSRSV rescued Milo from the Stanislaus County Shelter in Modesto on 6-1-23. He had been found as a stray on 4-4-23. Milo is located in Pleasant Grove, CA. His adoption fee is $300.
