Story
Tevo was born out of my brother in laws dog Nalas litter on 4-4-20. He is kennel and food trained he has truly been the best dog I could have ever asked for and has made so many people that I love laugh he would just start doing anything to make you laugh he army crawls on the floor gallops when he’s running in a big area. Since moving into a smaller environment he’s just been super stressed, he’s lost weight, is biting his tail and it just worry’s me for him so I wanna do what I think is going to best and hopefully pair him with a family that has a yard and loving people, I also just had a baby of my own this past year and can’t give him the proper attention he needs. This is kind of my last option. Thank you for reading

Story
Nitro is a neutered 3 year old Pit Bull mix who is looking for his forever home. He was my foster dog but unfortunately one of our other dogs does not like him and we need to find him a new home where he is in a safe environment. Nitro loves to snuggle on the couch and be a lazy bum most of the time. His other favorite thing is dinner/treat time. He's a good boy who is fully potty trained, knows sit, shake, down, and wait for his food. He also knows "go home" to his kennel if you choose to kennel him but he does not destroy things in the house so it's not required. Nitro does great with our two cats and our two other dogs. He also has done really well around kids at adoption events he has gone to. He will come with 6 months of heartworm meds, a kennel, and a leash/collar. If you are looking for a chill dog to snuggle with he is the perfect fit for you! I want Nitro to find a loving forever home where he can really thrive.

Story
Meet Honeydew — From Overlooked Mama to Playful Pawchlorette! At just 2 years old, Honeydew’s story started out rough. She landed in a high-kill shelter with her 11 puppies, stressed and misunderstood. She got a bad rap there — but the truth is, she’s a sweet, loving, fun, and playful girl who just needed a chance.  In her amazing Northern California foster home, Honeydew has blossomed. She loves snuggling, playing, and exploring — it’s like she’s just discovering the joy of being a dog for the first time. Her foster says she’s curious, affectionate, and absolutely adores being outside with her foster siblings under the big trees. Now spayed, happy, and officially “single and ready to mingle,” Honeydew is looking for her forever person who will love her for the amazing girl she truly is. October 31, 2025, 1:13 am

Story
Brady is a smart, handsome boy who has been thriving in an extensive training program. His high intelligence makes him eager to learn and capable of so much with the right guidance. According to his trainer, Brady is an easy, relaxed dog outside of stimulating environments. He crates with no fuss, loves to hang out quietly in the yard, nose around for kibble, or lounge by your side. Around higher-stimulus situations, Brady benefits from tight management and structure to keep up the healthy habits he’s worked so hard to build. The great news is that he’s been walking and working around other dogs successfully, and he responds beautifully to the e-collar, which will be an important tool in continuing his progress. Brady is looking for a home that appreciates his intelligence and is committed to keeping up his training. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully capable companion. Brady's adoption includes 12 sessions with a private trainer, 3 boarding nights and unlimited group classes. We are so dedicated to Brady and know that the perfect person is out there looking for him. December 3, 2025, 5:58 pm

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.comOctober 21, 2025, 6:20 pm

Story
Meet Mabel — Our Golden Pawchlorette Mabel may have a few silver hairs, but her heart is pure gold. She’s calm, gentle, and wise — the kind of soul who doesn’t ask for much, but quietly offers everything. She won’t demand attention or make a fuss for affection… yet when you give it, she melts into it. You can feel how much she loves it — how much she’s been waiting for it. Mabel is the kind of companion who makes life softer. She’s happy to stroll by your side, nap nearby, or simply share the same quiet space. But our wish — our dream — is that she finds someone who will make her the center of their universe, just as she deserves. She’s ready for her forever home — a place where her golden years can shine bright with comfort, companionship, and love. In return, Mabel will give you something rare and beautiful: the quiet joy and unwavering devotion of a heart that’s been waiting just for you.

Story
Oh my good grief, have ya'll met Nacho yet?! Whatever impression you have from these photos pretty much sums it up! He's a fan of people, getting photographed (clearly... wink, wink), and exploring! Oh, he's really goof at hanging out on the couch and helping you watch your favorite shows/movies too. He's a multi-talented guy! It's hard to look at him without cracking a smile. He's a big ol' lug weighing a little over 60lbs, and he's just the perfect age: 9. In Nachooo language this means he's way past doing anything crazy in the house (he's pretty perfect inside), yet he's got plenty of "let's go" energy for walking, exploring, or hanging out with YOU!

Story
Russel is learning more and more everyday! Given slow, positive exposure to new people, dogs, objects, and environments, this boy is being coached daily on what life is like in the real world! He came to CRCCS with zero experience or exposure. Once you get to know him, he is the sweetest of boys and ultimately wants a connection with a person and to feel safe at home. He demonstrated early that he was uncomfortable with men, so he’s currently gaining positive exposure to some of the men on our team—both staff and volunteers. Still a little unsure about new things, Russel is looking for a quiet home and a loving human willing to help him continue to grow! Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Russel comes with free behavior services, day camp, and a support crew for life (that’s us)! His adoption process includes training, demos, free services and more.

Story
Meet Bubbles — a bright, resilient little pup whose happiness shines through every challenge. UPDATE: Bubbles surgery was a success! She can now put that behind her and set her sights ;) on her future and her forever family! Bubbles was born with a congenital eye defect and will soon undergo surgery to remove the affected eye so she can live a comfortable, pain-free life. Her rescue is covering the full cost of her medical care because every life matters — and she’s absolutely worth it. Her sibling, who shared the same condition, has already been adopted, and now it’s Bubbles’ turn to find her forever home. She may be small, but she’s got big dog energy! Bubbles loves to play with the big dogs and keeps up with them every step of the way. She’s affectionate, confident, and full of love — the kind of puppy who brings laughter and life wherever she goes. Her adoption fee includes a $250 spay deposit, which covers her spay through the Nevada Humane Society in partnership with the rescue — or can be applied as a credit toward a private veterinarian if preferred. Bubbles is ready to start her next chapter — one filled with love, fun, and the happy ending she’s always deserved.
