Adoption Application « The Barking Lot

To initiate the adoption process, please complete our online application in its entirety. You only need to complete the application once, even if you are interested in multiple dogs. This application takes about 10 minutes to fill out; the information we collect helps us to match the right dog to your family and lifestyle.

Once submitted, a Barking Attendant will be in touch within 24 hours to discuss the adoption procedure with you. If you have questions about the online application, please visit our FAQ page: http://www.thebarkinglot.net/adoption-faqs

Please note: Our facility is only open by appointment; we can only schedule appointments after an application is received. We look forward to helping you find your new family member!
