Story
Valley is a young, energetic dog. Her favorite activity is cuddling in the lap of her trusted person. She's incredibly smart and eager to learn—especially when treats are involved! So far, she knows the commands "sit" and "down." Valley has a lot of energy and has gotten along with dogs in the shelter, but she can be too much for some dogs, so shelter staff recommends a slow introduction to any resident dogs.

Story
Meet Kobe — Our Golden Bachelor Kobe is an 8-year-old gentleman with a heart of gold. He’s the ultimate nap partner, a loyal listener, and still young at heart. His journey hasn’t been easy. Kobe was heartbreakingly surrendered to the shelter by his owner simply because they were moving and decided he was “too old.” But age is just a number — Kobe has so much love left to give. Since arriving at Grandma’s Barn Rescue & Sanctuary, he’s been treated for skin allergies, dewormed, and finally given the care and kindness he always deserved. Kobe is currently living in boarding where he spends his days waiting… and hoping. He’s had little visibility, no meet-and-greets, and has quietly been overlooked again and again. Unwanted, again. But he hasn’t given up. Kobe is a gentle, easygoing soul who wants nothing more than a safe, loving home where he can be someone’s best friend. He’s ready for a second chance — a soft bed, kind hands, and a forever person who won’t forget him. Kobe REALLY loves his food and does not like sharing. Other than that he is a very chill guy who LOVES to sunbathe and would love a couch instead of his crate. He is EASY! If you’re looking for a loyal, calm companion who will love you with his whole heart, Kobe is waiting. Located at Grandma’s Barn Rescue & Sanctuary grandmasbarnrescue.com

Story
PePe is a 9 year old, 62 pound Pit Bull mix looking for his forever home! This friendly and loving boy is looking for a nice cozy place to call his own. He loves cuddling and would be a great movie night buddy. He comes pre-loaded with commands like `Sit`, `Stay`, `Down` and `Come`. He enjoys a good car ride, loves going for walks and gets the zoomies when he`s REALLY excited! He is kind and respectful to every dog he meets, and doesn`t hesitate to give a play-bow and be immediate friends!Pepe recently went on a FURlough Field Trip! He went to the park, took a trail walk, and relaxed at his FURlough Friend`s house. Pepe`s FURlough Friend says he enjoyed the walk and loved rolling in the grass, but the highlight of his day was snuggling on the couch afterward.My adoption fee has been sponsored by a loving fan!I lived with dogs in my previous home, and I may do well with a slow introduction.I find cats a little too interesting, so I would do best in a home with no cats.I lived with children in my previous home and may do well with your children.

Once she feels safe, she is affectionate, settles well, and shows a very sweet temperament.`Puma is:*Very calm and polite in the home*Settled easily *Enjoyed sniffing on walks*Non-reactive when another dog barked and growled at her on a walk (she continued walking calmly)*Affectionate once comfortable and sought close contact*Enjoyed playing with toys Puma has been lovingly sponsored by Incredible Pets!
