Update June 2012: Louise had her first run at Fiesta Island last week and did great! She sniffed gopher holes, met all the new doggie friends, and even got into the water. Louise has turned out to be such an endearing dog that all who meet her love her: she's even joined our front office greeting party! Louise never demands attention, but with her soulful stare, it's hard not to lavish her with love.
To know this year and a half old beauty is to love her. Louise is a kind, sweet, gentle soul who will melt your heart. Just give her a rub under her ears and watch as she thanks you with her small, soulful eyes. Louise and her counterpart Thelma were found abandoned in a 6 by 8 foot enclosure at a junkyard. Apparently they had lived there since they were only a few weeks old and this was all they knew of the world before coming to The Barking Lot. Louise is the calmer of the pair, and would probably love to find a couch companion who will curl up with her after a good walk. She is a little reserved at first, but that's usually just because she's assessing the situation. She opens up quickly, and made great friends out of two junior volunteers who helped get her photo taken. Due to her history, she would be best suited with someone who will get her out in the world to socialize her to all she missed as a young pup, and she is ready to explore and see all the things life has to offer. You will feel great adopting this sweet girl not only because she will be an amazing companion, but also because you can feel good knowing you helped turn her heartbreaking story into a happy ending.

Rescue Group Info...
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!!
Please check our website for our upcoming adoption events, or fill out our application at www.thebarkinglot.net for an appointment.
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.
