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 smart, and eager to please; indoors They're mellow, affectionate, and independent. Coax is the more expressive sibling, while Jameson is gentle and quiet. 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. Please reach out if you have the space for them. Thank you.

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.

Meet incredible Mojo💙, a resilient pup who's overcome adversity and is now ready to thrive😻! He's just over a year old, 50lbs, and boasts a unique appearance that's sure to captivate. With a heart of gold💛 , Mojo is one of the kindest dogs you'll ever meet, and his calm demeanor makes him a true gem💎. It's fascinating to imagine his breed mix, but one thing's certain - he's a natural-born herder with a flair for the dramatic. Mojo's piercing blue eyes, distinctive coat, and ridiculously soft fur make him a true showstopper, and his big fluff tail is the icing on the cake😍. We're utterly smitten with this charming boy!🥰 How could anyone abandon such a treasure to face an uncertain fate in a high kill shelter? We're thrilled to have saved him from euthanasia just in the nick of time, and now he's ready to find his forever home🏡 . As a neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped pup, Mojo is all set to bring joy to his new family🤩. He's fantastic with dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to larger companions, and he's a total loverboy at heart❤️ . Don't miss your chance to welcome this amazing pup into your life - apply now and get ready for a lifetime of love and adventure with Mojo!🐶 Currently being cared for in Southern California, Mojo 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.
