About The Barking lot

When it comes right down to it, it’s not about us; it’s about our dogs. The Barking Lot journey began in September of 2007, after we rescued our two beautiful, adorable and equally mischievous dogs, Bruno and Murphy. Our intentions were to only adopt one dog, but after meeting these two brothers from Georgia, and seeing the amazing bond they had for one another, we didn’t have the heart to separate them. So there we were, with two puppies to take care of and full time jobs to attend to. With two puppies, its twice the mess, twice the chewing, twice the training, which means for me half the sleep, half the energy and half the time to do it all in. Like all “moms” I wanted the absolute best for my boys. The idea of crating them all day and being in the house all-alone absolutely broke my heart. A dog walker was an option, but that just wasn’t enough time and exercise for them. While at work, I couldn’t help but think, “Were they lonely? Were they bored? Were they chewing my sofa? Were they having accidents in the house? I always wondered, “ What kind of trouble did my little monsters get into today?” They weren’t bad dogs; they were just bored dogs with lots of energy and curiosity. I realized then, something had to change; I wasn’t being fair to them. My dream was to be at home with my newest family members by my side, providing them with all the love and attention they deserved and so desperately wanted. It was then, The Barking Lot adventure began.
