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.

Tucker was rescued into our home when he was about 4 weeks old. He was thereby of a litter and left to die. With a ton of love he quickly became healthy and strong and grew into the loyal and faithful companion is today. Tucker is happy to be at your feet or on his bed basking in the sun. He eats twice a day and that’s it. His stomach is sensitive so we don’t give him really any treats. He doesn’t love to go on long walks or run, he loves to just be at home. He’s super content, easy going, and very loving. It is so hard for us to have to let him go.

Story
Brave was rescued as a 4 to 5 week old puppy. He has been with us for the last six years and become a very beloved family member. With our children finishing their high school and college years, we have had tons of people, including strangers, in and out of our doors and Brave has always been well loved and become everybody’s favorite. He’s happy to be outside or inside, laying at your feet or on his bed. He has the most easy-going personality and loves to be with people. He is super friendly with other dogs as well, and plays well. He has a sensitive stomach so we don’t give him hardly any treats. He’s happy to just eat his food in the morning and in the evening. He’s super fast, smart, and easy to train. We are heartbroken to have to give him up.

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.
