My personality

My story

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

NOTE: ROSE IS WITH HER PERSON IN FRESNO, CA. GSRSV HAS NOT MET ROSE. WE ARE LISTING HER ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVE HER MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.

“Rose” is a beautiful, approx 70-lb, 1½-yo spayed female German Shepherd who is energetic, friendly and somewhat shy. Rose is healthy and current on her core vaccinations.

Rose is fearful of strangers; when meeting people while on leash, she barks and growls at them, but all the while trying to hide behind her handler. In her own yard she alarm barks appropriately when people are nearby.

Rose’s former person says that she was good with children, but her present person (Connie) has not observed Rose with kids.

Rose is good with other dogs. She presently lives with a 20-lb female Maltese/Poodle who she wants to play with (but the smaller dog is intimidated by Rose’s size).

Rose has not lived with cats and given her prey drive towards squirrels, would likely not do well with cats. A home without cats is in order for Rose.

Rose is housetrained, but still has some puppy-like destructive behaviors such as chewing on extension cords (unplugged). Connie keeps her in the backyard during the day. Rose is full of energy; she likes to chew up sticks and digs holes in the yard. At night, Connie keeps Rose inside in a large wire crate.

Connie is not physically capable of walking Rose on leash, so she can’t say what kind of on-leash manners Rose has.

Rose loves to travel in a car and wants to sit in the passenger seat, as her former person was a young man who let her ride in the front seat with him to various jobs.

Rose loves to shred stuffed animals and chew on sticks and heavy-duty chew toys. She likes to bury some of her toys then dig them up later.

Connie took Rose in from the son of her car mechanic back in Aug 2024 when he lost his job and had to move into an apartment where he couldn’t bring Rose. Connie is very fond of Rose but she is simply way too large and energetic a dog for Connie to handle. Rose has already knocked Connie down once and nearly so several other times. Connie is seeking a new home for Rose in which she will receive considerable exercise and some much-needed obedience training.

Rose is located in Fresno. Her adoption fee is $100, per GSRSV’s insistence.

Please contact Connie Thron at (559) 229-2584 (landline for calls) or crtfresno@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.

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

Adopt a Pet SILVER Certified Partner badge
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.
