Business ProfileforThe Barking Lot

Ok this is length but I had a very poor with the owner ***** at the Barking Lot. I recently adopted a dog from there, 2 days after adoption while my son was walking her, she got out of her leash and ran off. I, along with about 10 people searched for her for the next 8 hours non stop, in and out of canyons. She had a GPS tracker that did not show accurate information, but according to ***** it did, but when it shows me on a street when Im clearly standing in a canyon, I find that that be wrong information. Anyways, I contacted ***** the next morning at 7am to let her know the dog was lost and the tracker was now dead. Contract states I was to notify her immediately, which I did not as it as 10pm at night and honestly I was focused on finding the dog and that is it. ***** texts me back over an hour later, she is completely negative, tells me I put that dog in grave danger and I better hope nothing happens to her. My son already feels guilty since he was walking her when this happens and now he feels that If something happens to her that would be his fault too. This is the weight ***** put on a child. ***** insists she is the only person that can find her and refuses to allow me to work with a pet recovery specialist that is known across the country for what she does. I work with her anyway. Long story ********************** is telling people in my neighborhood that the person put up flyers other than hers looking for the dog is looking to find it and sell it so she replaces my signs with hers. In the end ***** finds the dog, does not tell me for well over an hour, takes her and wont give her back. She tells me she will refund me and send a check out. ***** now refuses to respond to texts, emails and phone calls. Ive received an email response from a volunteer stating my adoption fee has been forfeited and the board would have to approve anything. Nobody will supply me information as to anybody on the board. I have informed ***** and the Barking Lot that if I do not receive a response I will proceed with legally. That is where I am at. *****, took my dog, owes me a refund and is now ignoring all communication. She is a thief. She is the owner whose intentions may be good having a rescue, but is a horrible person with no morals or professionalism. She should not be running a rescue and the other reviews Ive seen state the same.
