The Barking Lot — Establishment at 940 Sherman Avenue, Hamden, Connecticut.

I would never send my dogs here, merely because the owner does not care about other people. I suggest if anyone is reading this review you read until the end to see this ex employee’s story. My fiance got fired after calling out at 5am for her shift at 8am. She tried to find coverage, but couldn’t get any. My grandmother was in the hospital dying. My fiancé did nothing, but take care of my grandmother in her free time so wanted to be there when she went. She explained that to the owner Meg, who didn’t care and actually tried to one up her by essentially saying who cares my problems are bigger than yours.. her real response was “ My best friend is on-life support in the hospital and I am here working YOUR shift. You made the choice to not show to work, unfortunately, you will no longer be an employee here.” Needless to say my grandmother did pass and my fiancé was there instead of work, but apparently to this woman her final goodbyes to her grandmother in law weren’t important and honestly that’s just the most cold hearted thing I’ve ever heard. I wouldn’t ever trust my animals with that type of person, and I’d never want to work for that kind of person.

Out of 5 facilities between CT and MA, this is the only one where our previously abused, rescued Walker Coonhound can stay without shutting down emotionally. The staff at BL are patient, accommodating, friendly, attentive to our home-body-dogs who clearly enjoy being with them.
