Luna is a 2 year old Dutch Shepherd mix. Beautiful and very smart girl. She’s potty trained and we have been fostering her for a few months. She’s crate trained sits treat motivated. She was surrendered by owner to the humane society as a puppy and has she has been bounced around since. I have adult and small children and other small dogs and she’s good with all!

Meet ManchegoDOB: January 2022Weight: 45 lbsDisposition: Curious, Coy, PlayfulWe believe Manchego was a bit sheltered in his previous life so needs practice on leashed walks and meeting new people (he's a bit shy), but once has the chance to gain experience, he'll be a reliable sidekick. He's social with other dogs and friendly with stubby legs that make him so endearing!History: Surrendered to Coachella shelter with 4 of his siblings. Rescued by TBL in January 2025 when they were at risk of euthanasia.Best Home: Patient single or couple who are willing to help a bit of scaredy cat learn the ways of the world.Amazing Qualities: Lowriding legs...need we say more?If you're interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.

Story
At just 6 months old, Max has already experienced more heartbreak than any puppy should. This handsome brindle boy with the sweetest black snout is affectionate, goofy, intelligent, and full of love. He’s the kind of dog who melts into belly rubs, gets excited for car rides, lives for a good game of tug-of-war, and simply wants to be close to his people. After playtime, he’s just as happy to curl up nearby and enjoy a quiet moment with his family. Max is about 49 pounds, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and house trained. He’s ready for a home of his own. Unfortunately, Max’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was mistreated by a trainer who used abusive methods, leaving him with some reactivity and uncertainty around other pets. Despite what he has been through, Max still loves people with his whole heart. He just needs someone willing to see beyond his past and help him rebuild his confidence. Max isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for patience. He’s looking for understanding. He’s looking for someone who will show him that not all humans will let him down. With structure, guidance, and kindness, this young boy has so much potential. The right home could change his life forever.      September 24, 2026, 8:24 pm

Story
Duke was moments away from losing his life. He was rescued from a high-kill, California shelter, with only minutes to spare. Now, what this beautiful boy needs most is a family to call his own. Duke is a stunning 3- to 4-year-old German Shepherd, weighing about 96 pounds. He's housebroken, neutered, current on all vaccinations, and has the sweetest, gentlest heart you could ever hope to find. Despite everything he's been through, Duke greets everyone with pure joy, a wagging tail, and endless love. He is wonderful with people of all ages—from young children to seniors—and absolutely loves other dogs. Duke would thrive in an active home with another playful dog (or two!) and would make an incredible companion for someone who enjoys walking, jogging, or running. His foster family currently takes him jogging four days a week, and he loves every minute of it. Duke is also incredibly smart, eager to learn, and responds beautifully to training. Help give Duke the happy ending he deserves.
