Xena's Story...
Update 12/12: Xena is the training trick queen!  At our recent Walk a Dog in Need event, she not only showed off her mastery of 'sit', but she also has 'down' and 'shake' under her belt.  Xena is a calm dog on leash as well and would love to show off her training skills to any and all!  She also recently came back from a hike to Cowles Mountain where she was on her best behavior, meeting all sorts of new people along the way. 
 
The Warrior Princess herself! Xena is probably the happiest dog at The Barking Lot right now because she was reunited with Casper who she was previously in a home with before getting relinquished by her owner to the Santa Monica shelter for no other reason than she could no longer be cared for. We didn't have a camera on hand when these two pooches reunited, but it was a tail-waggin', tongue kissin', rear wigglin' moment. To top it off, Xena made instant pals with Corona and three other dogs her size when let out off leash in the play yard. She's fantastic with other dogs, though dogs her size are probably best because she's still young and likes to wrestle and tumble about. She's also very sweet towards people (in our opinion, she's more princess than warrior, but don't tell her that!) She's a gorgeous gal as well with a brown-red coat and a long tail that curves up and over at the tip. Let her share her zest for life with you and you can't help but share in her happy-go-lucky enthusiasm.

About Our Rescue Group...
The seed for The Barking Lot was planted a few years back when I took in my first foster dog, Patti Cake, in hopes of making a bigger impact by helping my favorite furry friends. Before I knew it, I was put on some rescue email list and received an email stating, "This dog to be put down on Tuesday at 3pm". I was utterly horrified and jumped into action figuring out how I could save her. Well, I did and I'm glad to report Raspberry (my nephew named her!) is living happily in Encinitas to this day! After getting her adopted, I thought, "That wasn't so tough." And so it goes...over 500 dogs adopted into loving home and 2 1/2 years later...we are now creating The Barking Lot.

As well as being wonderful companions, dogs are amazing teachers and we've learned so much from them...first and foremost that they all deserve a chance at a better life and their behavior will balance beautifully if their needs are meet and good leadership is applied. These pups will be the most grateful creatures you've encountered. We rescue our furry friends from area shelters, humane societies and Mexico as they are at risk of being euthanized and/or abandoned.

We are a small organization with a handful of key volunteers and we are just getting started as a 501c3 non-profit, so we're looking for more volunteers to add to the fun and reward! We need both people and donations to help our furry friends, so we'd be grateful for either. Please contact stacy@thebarkinglot.net

Thanks for choosing rescue,
Stacy, The Barking Lot crew and all the rescued recruits!

P.S. Patti Cake, my original foster dog, is among The Barking Lot residents as I couldn't possibly have given her up & I'm fortunate to call her mine! Yes, I'm proud to report I was a failed foster my first go around!!

Our Adoption Process...
Our goal to find the right match for each pooch based on lifestyle, energy level, exercise regime, environment and living situation. To ensure we find a great match for each pup, the process entails an adoption application, a play date with your furry friend, a home check of the potential adopter and an adoption contract.

The adoption fees include spay/neuter, up-to-date shots, rabies vaccination, microchip & microchip registration, de-worming and the benefit of getting a pooch who has been living in a stable and loving environment.

We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
Southern California
