Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side.  Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environnment.

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.

113 days and counting. This is how long Yodawg has been waiting for his forever family. He is being fostered, continuously working on his manners and socialization skills, eagerly awaiting to make his best first impression. Yodawg is about 3 years old.

Some quick fun facts - ✅ He is a handsome boy who receives all of the compliments. ✅ He is neutered, chipped, and UTD on shots. ✅ Crate trained. ✅ Doggy door. ✅ Basic commands. ✅ Enjoys car rides. ✅ Plays well with other dogs. ✅ Loves people. ✅ Walks well on a leash. With gentle nudging strolls past the dogs he wants to play with and the people he wants to hug. ✅ Professional player of fetch. ✅ Leftover puppy energy causing the hops every once in a while. 🚫 Cats, bunnies, or chickens. 📍Reno, NV Does Yodawg belong with you?

Story
My grandma rescued her, and she now lives with us due to some life events. We have a toddler, are currently expecting and cannot attend to her the way she needs. She is roughly 7-8 months old, husky and some other breed they’re unsure. Sweet girl, lots of energy and is a good listener. She does well in a kennel. Does jump on you out of excitement, and occasionally pees in the house.

Story
We rescued Motto about a year and a half ago when he was 4 months old and had spent his life until then in a cage. He was difficult at first, couldn’t be by himself, hated his crate, took months to house train, but after about 6 months of home training and a 10 day boot camp program he turned the corner. Motto is 1 year and 11 months old. He loves playing with people, bully sticks, car rides, and the outdoors in general. His is an Alaskan Klee Kai (basically a mini husky), has a lot of energy, and loves to play the typical husky games. He is not as loud or vocal as a husky, he is actually very quiet. But his recall isn’t the best, if he is busy and you call him he will just look at you like you're a fool and continue with his little projects. Hes a very fun dog and it’s extremely hard for us to have to rehome him but due to my out of town job schedule and my wifes health issues, we can no longer provide the attention and care he needs. We will be picky about where he ends up.

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.October 7, 2025, 6:30 pm
