My story

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

Meet Journey

Journey’s story is one of second chances. She was surrendered by her owner and found herself on the euthanasia list at a high-intake shelter through no fault of her own. Thankfully, she was rescued just in time and is now safe in a loving foster home in Reno, NV.

Journey is smart, loyal, and eager to connect with her people. She loves spending time with those she trusts and thrives in a calm, structured environment. Journey can be selective with other dogs, so we recommend slow, thoughtful introductions if there are other pets in the home.

She’s looking for an adopter who will give her the stability and love she deserves — someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to walk this next chapter of her Journey together. She has some skin allergies that are now being treated and are managed with diet. (such a blue nose thing)

Location: Reno, Nevada
Adoption Fee: Includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
Compatibility: Dog selective; slow introductions recommended.

Her foster mom says "

Heya boss! Just an update on Journey’s vet visit:

they thought she was very well behaved. they gave her a shot, a pill to take with dinner and special food. also a leave on mousse for the rashy areas. the vet said no people food and treats have to match the special food. "

More about this rescue

Tucked away in the wide-open spaces of Northern Nevada, Grandma’s Barn Rescue & Sanctuary is a safe and loving refuge for animals in need. We provide care and shelter to horses, donkeys, and dogs, and dream of expanding our rescue to welcome cows, goats, and other farm animals in the near future.

Our name is inspired by our beloved great-grandmother, who at 99 years old continues to share her deep love for animals. Grandma’s compassion is the heart of our mission—to give every animal a second chance at life, whether through permanent sanctuary, foster care, or adoption into a forever home.

At Grandma’s Barn, we believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, valued, and loved. Whether you’re looking to adopt, foster, support, or simply follow along, we’re so glad you're here. Welcome to the barn—where love lives, and every animal matters.
