Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie

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 900 dogs adopted into loving home and 3 years later...we have 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

We are a small group, headed by a dog trainer and a pet groomer who want to help small breed dogs that find themselves without a home. We have a great group of volunteers who help out in many capacities. Bichon & Little Buddies Rescue, Inc is a 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit Dog Rescue licensed by the State of Wisconsin #268555-DS

We've done rescue for 15 yrs, 501(c)(3) for 12 yrs. We love dogs and try to find the most stable, loving homes possible. We believe in quality of adoptions, not quantity. In other words, each adoption is a lengthy process and applicants are screened to the best of our ability. Dogs are thoroughly vetted and groomed before they are adopted.

There are 5 founders of Pet Helpers, Inc since September 24. 2008 we have been helping in adoptions, some spay and neutering. rescues. There was a fire in a retirement home and one of our board members was there and the residents did not have anywhere to take their animals. We pulled together as a group and fostered all the pets until the residents coudl return home. This unit had about 120 retired and disabled residents living there. All the board members and members have a huge love for animals. Most all of us have rescued pets of our own and know how important it is to express the spay and neutering.
