Story
Coax and Jameson are six-year-old Aussie/Husky mix brothers, 65 lbs each, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They were raised from an accidental litter and need a new home after their family moved and downsized following the arrival of a newborn. Outdoors They're high-energy, smart, and eager to please; indoors They're mellow, affectionate, and independent. Coax is the more expressive sibling, while Jameson is gentle and quiet. They alert to strangers near the home but are friendly on walks. They do well with similar-sized dogs and are good with smaller animals when supervised. Both have no history of aggression toward people or children. Jameson previously had a damaged tooth removed but has no current issues. Their last vet visit was 08/01/2025. They're healthy, playful companions looking for an active home. It is with a heavy heart that I need to rehome them. They are my my family- but the change in lifestyle is unfair to them.

Meet Kash💙, the epitome of canine kindness, a 3-year-old Australian shepherd with a heart of gold💛 ! His temperament is truly inspiring, showcasing a unique blend of sweetness, kindness, shyness, docility, and submissiveness that makes him an exceptional addition to any pack😍. Kash's captivating blue eyes will undoubtedly melt your heart, and his resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to his remarkable spirit. Having overcome a severe flea infestation and subsequent skin condition with the help of medication, Kash is now ready to thrive in a loving environment. This incredible boy is in search of a foster or adopter to provide him with the love and care he so rightly deserves. With his neutering, chipping, and vaccination already taken care of, the only thing missing is a loving home 🏡 to call his own - will you be the one to open your heart and home to precious Kash?😻 Currently being cared in Southern California, Kash can be transported to northern states such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, or other locations within the continental United States, where a loving family awaits to welcome him.

Story
Meet Xylene! DOB: January 2019Weight: 35 lbsDisposition: Smart, Outgoing, Friendly, AthleticHistory: Abandoned on the streets of Thailand and rescued by Soi Dog Foundation. Brought to TBL in July 2024 to find his forever family.Best Home: Athletic single or couple looking for a reliable sidekick to join them on all their excursions.Amazing Qualities: Xylene is wonderful with people of all ages, including little kids, and does great in public settings. Xylene is polite and easygoing—he doesn’t guard food or toys and gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, from big buddies to tiny companions. He’s spent time with several different dogs in different homes and fits right in every time.Xylene really enjoys his walks and hikes and walks nicely on leash. He does have a bit of a prey drive and can get excited when he sees or hears animals—but it’s easily managed. At home, he loves a good bone or chew toy and is a big fan of rolling around in blankets. He’s crate trained, rarely barks or whines, and even does well with baths.Overall, Xylene is an incredibly good, easy dog. He can jump a fence, so when he is out in the yard he is on a long leash, which works well for him. He’ll let you know when he wants in or out and is just as happy sunbathing outside as he is curling up indoors. Xylene is a loving, well-mannered boy who would make a fantastic addition to just about any family.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.
