Story
Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Story
Aurora is about 10 years old. She is a gentle giant but stubborn. She is very loving and has never had any behavioral issues. That being said she very much fits her breed with independence and stubbornness. She has no known health issues and would likely do best in a home without other dogs. she currently is bonded well with another dog but has not been tested much in the presence of other dogs.

Story
In Smokey`s youth, he was frequently running stray until he was eventually surrendered by his owner. Smokey is a very smart dog, and when he`s left unattended outside, he finds his way out to make friends. He has even done it to us since being in our care, jumping and climbing over our 10ft fence! While shocking and honestly impressive, we have found he shows no desires to escape when he`s hanging out with a person. Bonus if that person likes to play and throw the ball! Smokey is well behaved in his kennel, and waits patiently for his turn to run in the yard and burn all his energy. He enjoys playing with other dogs of all types and sizes as well! Smokey knows many basic commands including sit, paw, down, stay, place, and has the ground work and the drive to be trained and learn much more! Also, he`s a really great snuggler.

Story
Hello, this is Soba a three year old husky she will be four come May 5ᵗʰ. She is a sweetheart she loves to play, but she also loves to lay. She likes her daily walks and to be cozy indoors for the most part otherwise. She is allergic to chicken, I feed her orjen but any high quality food would do her well. She would make a good family dog as she was raised with a child her whole life. She is very easy going and would do fine with young children. She is actually pretty low energy for a husky. She wont run away if she is off leash unless she sees another dog so I wouldnt recommend doing so. She knows all her basic commands but will talk back sometimes before giving you a paw or a sit. She isnt a barker though she doesnt bark at the door or people walking by but loves to talk to her family. Were rehoming because I am now a recently new single parent and she needs more attention than I can give her.

Story
Meet Aspen  Aspen and Timber are likely a bonded pair of 1-year-old siblings who have only ever known life together, and they are searching for a forever home where they can stay side by side. Our dream home would have acreage and a soft landing. They were heartbreakingly dumped at a high-kill shelter by a breeder when no homes could be found. Despite their rough start, both dogs have proven to be gentle and resilient. Aspen is naturally shy and takes a little time to feel comfortable, but once he does, he enjoys attention and companionship. Timber is his steady brother, and together they give each other confidence. Both Aspen and Timber are crate trained, great with other dogs, and still very young with so much potential. They are looking for a calm, patient home that will invest in their future and give them the love and security they have been missing. They are located in Reno, NV Age: 1 year Likely Bonded pair – with Timber -Timmy Crate trained Great with other dogs Gentle and affectionate once comfortable If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Aspen and maybe Timber, please apply at grandmasbarnrescue.com.March 16, 2026, 5:30 pm
