My personality

My story

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

Meet Mika — Our Shining Star in the Making! At just about a year old, Mika is a bright, beautiful girl with so much potential. She’s looking for a forever person who understands the power of patience and the magic of moving at her pace. Mika thrives with slow, gentle movements and has been making amazing progress in her loving foster home. Soon, she’ll be heading into training to help channel her energy and polish her manners — setting her up for success with her new family. With a little herding dog in her, she’s smart, active, and ready to learn. She just needs someone who will guide her with kindness and consistency.

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.
