The seed for The Barking Lot was planted a few years back when the founder Stacey took in her first foster dog, Patti Cake. Then she received an e-mail stating, “This dog to be put down on Tuesday at 3 p.m.” She was horrified and jumped into action figuring out how she could save her. Well she got the dog adopted and now Raspberry is living happily in Encinitas, CA. After getting her adopted, she thought, “That wasn’t so tough.”
And three years later 900 dogs have been adopted into loving home through the great work by Stacey and The Barking Lot’s volunteers. They rescue dogs from area shelters, humane societies and Mexico as they are at risk of being euthanized and/or abandoned and find them forever homes.
And Patti Cake, Stacey’s original foster dog is still with The Barking Lot residents as she couldn’t let her go.
