The German Shepherd Rescue of the Sacramento Valley is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to finding good homes for German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes. The organization was founded in 2001 and is operated by Brian Foran. The organization houses dogs on a 45-acre ranch. In addition to its main facility, there is a small network of foster caretakers who are willing to adopt a dog if they meet the criteria set by the rescue.
The GSRSV relies on donations to fund the rescue program.
Its building was costly, and Brian paid a high mortgage to keep the facility running. The rescue program relies heavily on donations, so adoption fees do not cover expenses. In the past five years, the organization has rescued 613 dogs and never returned one to a shelter. Regardless of the financial challenges faced by the organization, the benefits far outweigh the costs.
The GSRSV works closely with the owner/caretaker to assess each dog’s situation before placing it up for adoption. After evaluating the dog’s health, GSRSV also recruits foster homes to care for at-risk dogs. These foster homes help GSRSV rescue dogs while they are still living with their original owners. The dogs are then placed up for adoption while the owner/caretaker continues to take care of them.
