The Barking Lot (APPOINTMENT ONLY), Ramona CA

I adopted a three-legged soi dog, Willow, about a month ago. The process of adopting her went fairly well. Slightly disorganized but considering that they're mostly donation run that's to be expected. I really appreciated that they were able to answer my questions via email about some of my dog's behavioral traits and advice on how to get her to acclimate better. They really care about their dogs. Yes, the adoption price can be a bit steep but Willow has already been microchipped, spayed, and medical problems have been addressed. I got a extensive paperwork on her medical history. This might vary from dog to dog, but I feel like I got considerably good deal since all I had to do afterwards was register her with the county and renew her rabies vaccine.
I'm happy to have brought Willow into my home. She's a joy and a great little familiar. Thank you, Barking Lot!

The dogs I saw in the 20 minutes of being there were covered in their own pee. Paws, tails, backs / behinds stained yellow from pee. Filthy conditions.even front desk area filthy. Thick layers of pee on the floor (I even slipped in pee). Dogs were not well taken care of at all. Stacy the owner not very friends and felt like an interrogator asking us questions. I was willing to give this place a go, but looking back at all the negative reviews I see it’s very true.won’t be back. It’s a shame because those dogs need homes.
