Story
Hippity Hop needs a HERO!! We are looking for a foster or adopter who will absolutely spoil this boy rotten. We’re talking putting him in his own Pajamas and treating him to Pup Cups in the regular. He’s that special. Hippity Hop is 1 yr 6 months old. He was originally brought into the shelter as a small puppy/stray and his owners came in and claimed him. Then he found himself back at the shelter months later, and those same owners came back and claimed him. This happened a 3rd time!! When contacted the original owners said they would be in to get him and never came 😢. The last time he came into the shelter he came in with 2 dogs that were also a part of his family. So we know he is dog friendly. He’s been tested against male and female dogs and passed. He was also in a home that had young adolescent kids. Hippity Hop was born with funky hips. He is not in pain. But when he walks, he sometimes hops, and that’s how he got his name. He was recently put on death row, in solitary confinement at the shelter because of an incident where a man came to the shelter looking for a “big headed pitbull,” and when Hippity Hop had an interaction with him, he lunged at the guy and supposedly growled (there are different accounts of this incident). We think the guy had bad intentions and Hippity could sense it. Hippity Hop is the biggest love bug; all he wants to do when brought out to play is cuddle and kiss your face and he even wraps his from paws around you for hugs- he’s precious! He was scheduled to be euthanized 6/7 at 9:30am. A whole army of people stepped up for him and we were able to bust him free on 6/6! He had been in solitary confinement for 5 days, was up to his elbows in pee, and was ravenous for food when he finally got out. This boy has been thru so much. He deserves so much better than what he’s experienced so far. His little eyes don’t lie. He’s unsure if he’ll ever be loved. When he meets people, he craves love. It’s just so heartbreaking. We can’t wait for him to find the perfect foster/adopter!!

Story
Following the arrest of his owner, 12-year-old James Barley was brought to the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility along with seven other animals, including two dogs. When the owner was released, they were not permitted to reclaim any of the animals due to the unsafe condition of the home. James and one of the dogs had been forced to live together in a closet, while the third dog spent his entire life confined to a crate. Thankfully, James was soon welcomed into a caring foster home. and despite the heartbreaking conditions in which he lived previously, he is a very sweet and lovable boy. Now a Frosted Face, James is safe, loved, and patiently waiting for his forever family. Could that be you? Here is what we have learned about James from his foster mom: James is a happy pup who loves seeing humans and other dogs. Although he loves being petted, he calmly waits for people to walk up to him rather than approaching on his own. James' good manners extend to other dogs, and he is never reactive. James enjoys walks around the neighborhood and low-key outings such as going to get coffee or visiting his foster grandparents. James is house-trained and knows how to use a doggie door. He also knows several commands, including sit, shake, and wait. He understands pointing and responds to cues like “out!” to leave the kitchen and “go” to move to his bed when humans are eating. As much as James loves mealtime, he has no reaction to food being taken away from him. James is a loving companion who asks for little. He lives for simple joys including pets, naps, short walks, and being with his people.

Story
DOB: August 2015Weight: 80lbsTemperament: Easy-going, Happy, FriendlyFrom: Handsome Oslo came to us from a shelter in Moreno Valley, CA. He had many ticks and fly strike when found, and had probably been an outdoor dog. Oslo has captured the hearts of volunteers with his sweet temperament. He gets along well with other medium-large dogs in his play group. If adopted into a home with another dog, he needs leadership and guidance to be the best version of himself. Oslo is housebroken and is great with people!Best Attribute: He's the chillest boy this side of the Mississippi.Area of opportunity: He can be protective of his home if he believes it to be his responsibility and thus needs a solid leader to set the boundaries.If you're a sucker for a dog with a big head and equally big heart, apply to meet him today at www.thebarkinglot.net/adopt!To initiate the adoption process for this dog, please complete our online application by clicking below.

Story
Meet Morgan! She is a 2 year old Bully breed mix. She is an INCREDIBLY fun-loving pup. She absolutely LOVES to learn and will make a perfect adventure pal. She especially gets along best with male dogs. We sent her to CRT K9 to undergo training and she is ready for adoption! They've tested her for search/rescue work, as well as climbing work, jump work, and running. She passes every qualification test with flying colors! She thrives in everything. We've never seen a pup so capable of so much. She'll do best in a home without small animals (she has prey drive ), or other female dogs.November 21, 2024, 12:16 am
