Story
How this pet arrived: Kayden was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on October 11, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Kayden! This lovely senior gal has plenty of love to give and is looking for a calm place to spend her golden years. We're still getting to know her, but one thing is clear - Kayden has a gentle spirit and just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people and situations. She arrived underweight, and we're helping her get back on track! Kayden can be particular about how she's handled, so a patient family with children 10 and older would be ideal. We're not yet sure how she feels about other dogs, cats, or whether she's potty trained. What we do know is that Kayden will thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home where her world can stay small as she decompresses at her own pace. She's a sweet soul who deserves comfort, kindness, and a soft spot to land. Think you could be her perfect match? Bring a leash and collar and come meet Kayden today! At SDHS:Kayden has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Blonde Secondary Color: Yellow Weight: 39 Age: 10yrs 6mths 1wks

Story
DOB: August 2018Weight: 27 lbsDisposition: Confident, Inquisitive, PlayfulEthel was rescued on 5th August 2020 during a slaughterhouse closure together with another 14 dogs conducted by FOUR PAWS in Kampong Thom, Cambodia. After rescue she was housed at Animal Rescue Cambodia in Phnom Penh until she flew stateside at the beginning of December 2020 when she joined us at The Barking Lot.Ethel has the cutest little ears there ever was and their a dead giveaway for her Shar Pei roots! This lovely girl used to be timid around other dogs, especially at dinner time. Like many of our rescues who have been through traumatic experiences, she gets defensive about her food. The rest of the time, Ethel can be coy, but she is learning to trust again and is really relaxed with her caretakers. Ethel has a lovely, inquisitive nature and is building trust with new people daily. She enjoys handling and cuddles from people she trusts and is treat motivated. If you're interested in meeting Ethel, please visit our website and fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptTo initiate the adoption process for this dog, please complete our online application by clicking below. Your adoption coordinator will respod to you via email once they receive your application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adopt
