My personality

My story

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

NOTE: BLAZE IS LOCATED WITH HIS PERSON IN CLOVERDALE, CA. GSRSV HAS NOT MET BLAZE. WE ARE LISTING HIM ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.

"Blaze" is a 62-lb, 1-yr old neutered GSD/Husky who is friendly, playful and curious. He was born approx 1-14-24 and is the littermate of his companion Sadie. Both Blaze & Sadie are available for adoption either together or separately, though it would be great if they were able to remain together.

Blaze is healthy and up-to-date on core vaccinations.Though he is energetic, he is also quite content to lay at your feet once he’s had a chance to run around.

Blaze is friendly with everyone he meets, including young children. (Blaze’s people have grandkids who Blaze has interacted well with.)

Blaze has been very good with the two little Yorkies who live at the same home as him & Sadie. He has also been good with other dogs in the neighborhood.

Blaze has not been around cats, so it is best that he be adopted into a home without cats.

Blaze’s people keep him (and Sadie) outside of their house. However, the two dogs have access via a dog door to an enclosed area in a shop building. Both Blaze & Sadie sleep in this enclosed area, and since they do not relieve themselves in this area they can both be considered housetrained.

Blaze’s people have not had him on leash much as they live on a property where he & Sadie can run around.

Blaze enjoys car rides and is a calm passenger. He enjoys playing with balls and especially squeaky toys.

Blaze’s primary caretaker Karen & her husband adopted him & Sadie in May 2024 from a dog rescue based in Albany, CA. Within 30 days Karen & her husband realized that they did not have the time to devote to two young dogs as energetic as Blaze & Sadie. Unfortunately, the rescue they adopted the two dogs from were not able (or willing) to take them back. Karen has been trying to find a new home or homes for Blaze & Sadie since then.

Blaze is located in Cloverdale, CA. There is an adoption fee of $100 for Blaze. If Blaze & Sadie are adopted together, the adoption fee is only an additional $50.

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.

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.
