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.

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.      August 20, 2026, 3:25 pm

Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on June 25, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hi to sweet Juna, a playful pup looking for a loving new home! Juna can be a bit shy with new faces and spaces and appreciates some extra time to open up. Once you've earned her trust with lots of tasty treats, she reveals her affectionate personality, cuddling up for pets and rolling over for belly rubs. Some of Juna's favorite activities are playing with her toys, hanging out with humans and showing off her great leash skills on walks around the neighborhood. Juna's ideal family will let her settle in at her own pace, help her continue to build her confidence through positive reinforcement training and allow her to soak up all the love she can as the only dog in the home. If you’re ready to give Juna the happy life she deserves and receive a loyal, loving companion in return, speak to an adoption counselor to learn more today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for adoption!Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
Meet beautiful Molly. She was found in the middle of nowhere, in the bones, and with too much fear, she tried to bite us until she could understand that we were not going to hurt her, we just wanted to help her, and she got on her belly, letting me know that she trusted me. She is a really sweet, intelligent, loving dog, she has too much love to give, and she needs to receive even more. She is a very loyal dog, and tends to dance with her front paws when she gets excited. She gets excited when she goes for a walk, she likes to see new places and sometimes she is a little shy at first with strangers but she understands quickly when people don't want to hurt her. On the contrary when she knows that people are a threat to her or to you, she is very protective. She gets along well with very few male dogs, she is dominant and does not usually play with other dogs, but she gets along very well with adults and children, she would be ideal for a family with small children, she knows how to measure her strength, and she is not at all rude with babies. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar. Temporary leash. The adoption fee does not include transportation to North of San Diego
