My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Baroque!
DOB: July 2012
Weight: 35 lbs
Disposition: Friendly, Chill, Happy
History: August 2024 we were recently contacted by the Humane Society indicating that Baroque had been surrendered to them by his owner. We went and picked him up the next day. We picked up a morbidly obese Baroque (weighing 63 lbs when he should weigh 35 lbs) with skin issues dues to negligent care. Originally he was found as a stray in Kern County rescued by TBL in January 2014.
Best Home: Chill home with an active individual that likes to go for walks and maybe to the beach. Baroque may be elderly, but this Classic Barker has some good years left to live up a leisurely life kicking it with his human and getting in his daily exercise.
Amazing Qualities: Easy-going, fella who deserves an amazing life after his original humans treated him like disposable trash.

ORIGINAL POST: It is no accident that our happy-go-lucky and expressive Baroque earned himself that name which references an era when expressive styles were dominant. As exhibited by his photos, Baroque has a true joie de vivre (zest for life) that is inspiring: spend a few moments with him and you will leave smiling and feeling better about yourself. Baroque's tongue is always out in a lolling smile, and he hasn't met a person yet he doesn't love. He took a jog around the block with one of our junior volunteers (pictured!), and he adores other dogs as much as he does people. About a year and a half in age, he is ready to share his zest for life for many, many more years to come. Need a cheerful, energetic companion who will help you celebrate each day? Baroque is definitely the man for the job.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our goal to find the right match for each pooch based on lifestyle, energy level, exercise regime, environment and living situation. To ensure we find a great match for each pup, the process entails an adoption application, a play date with your furry friend, a home check of the potential adopter and an adoption contract.

The adoption fees include spay/neuter, up-to-date shots, rabies vaccination, microchip & microchip registration, de-worming and the benefit of getting a pooch who has been living in a stable and loving environment.

More about this rescue

The seed for The Barking Lot was planted a few years back when I took in my first foster dog, Patti Cake, in hopes of making a bigger impact by helping my favorite furry friends. Before I knew it, I was put on some rescue email list and received an email stating, "This dog to be put down on Tuesday at 3pm". I was utterly horrified and jumped into action figuring out how I could save her. Well, I did and I'm glad to report Raspberry (my nephew named her!) is living happily in Encinitas to this day! After getting her adopted, I thought, "That wasn't so tough." And so it goes...over 500 dogs adopted into loving home and 2 1/2 years later...we are now creating The Barking Lot.

As well as being wonderful companions, dogs are amazing teachers and we've learned so much from them...first and foremost that they all deserve a chance at a better life and their behavior will balance beautifully if their needs are meet and good leadership is applied. These pups will be the most grateful creatures you've encountered. We rescue our furry friends from area shelters, humane societies and Mexico as they are at risk of being euthanized and/or abandoned.

We are a small organization with a handful of key volunteers and we are just getting started as a 501c3 non-profit, so we're looking for more volunteers to add to the fun and reward! We need both people and donations to help our furry friends, so we'd be grateful for either. Please contact stacy@thebarkinglot.net

Thanks for choosing rescue,
Stacy, The Barking Lot crew and all the rescued recruits!

P.S. Patti Cake, my original foster dog, is among The Barking Lot residents as I couldn't possibly have given her up & I'm fortunate to call her mine! Yes, I'm proud to report I was a failed foster my first go around!!
