Today while I was at The Pet Doctors of Sherman Oaks it wasn't in the capacity of the Founder of Leave No Paws Behind, Inc. as all of my trips usually are. Today I walked in, quietly, worried, distraught, weary and tired and did not look around but straight ahead. Yes, today I walked in as a loving fur mom, a concerned parent , and someone who, though was praying for the best, feared the worst :-( Yes, today I was not there as " Ms Toby" from LNPB, today, with his favorite dog bed and blankie, I was there as Chauncy's mom <3
Chauncy, though very drugged, was happy to see me, he had not eaten or pottied since his surgery yesterday and of course that was of major concern to all of us :-( With one short visit, one momentum from home, one loving kiss on his head, and one tender and gentle whisper to him: " mommy's here, don't be afraid, I love you with all my heart and I need you to stay strong. You are not alone, I am here, and I will be back to take you home", Chauncy perked up, started eating and FINALLY went potty :-)
On the ride home, I could not help but think about the animals that are abandoned to shelters every day, how they must yearn to hear those words from the only humans they ever loved. I cannot fathom what must go on their little minds and hearts just as I cannot ever wrap my head or heart around how anyone could ever just walk away :-( Chauncy showed me today that, as I have always believed, animals do indeed have feelings, they do mourn and they do respond to love and kindness. Yes, today I was there as " Toby", a loving fur mom and parent, tomorrow and each and every day after , as I have done for 7 years, I will be there as " Ms Toby", the founder of LNPB and I will continue to whisper to all of them " don't be afraid, you are no longer alone, I am here and we are Leave No Paws Behind, Inc. and we are here to take you home". <3 tw, LNPB
PS: I was gripped by fear through all of this, I was trying to be strong, I would not allow myself to cry UNTIL I took a deep breathe and started to write this post and the flood gates opened 😢 I want to thank all of you for your love, kind words and prayers, because of all of you, I knew I was not alone ❤️ tw

Rescue. is so bitter sweet :-( It is with the saddest and heaviest of hearts that I must announce that Faith, our oldest rescue, has peacefully crossed over the rainbow bridge. We rescued Faith in November of 2012 , when she was 14-15 years old, abandoned suffering with end stage kidney disease. We then placed in loving hospice care for what we believed would be 3 months and much to our surprise, Faith rallied and, turning 20-21 years old this year, she went on to enjoy her gift of life and love for 6 years <3
Our loving foster is so heart broken however she too knew Faith's time was nearing. Faith had developed Dementia several months ago and just recently she stop eating, letting us know she was ready :-( Faith left us knowing she was so loved and that her life mattered. Our thoughts and prayers are with our loving foster mom who, even though she knew the time to let her go was nearing, is so heart broken.
Tonight the skies will light up with a brand new shining star as the heavens and my Alley welcome home our grand old lady Faith <3 RIP sweet girl, gone but never forgotten <3 Rescue is so bitter sweet :-( tw, LNPB

Please continue to keep him in your prayers, the next 24 hours are crucial 🙏🙏🙏

Rescues rescue, fosters save lives <3 The difference between their life and death is a place to call home. We cannot help them unless you help us and join our network of loving and life saving fosters in the So Ca area! We do not foster or adopt out of state, you must be local in the So Ca area! We are an all foster based rescue, we do not have a boarding facility. Please email info@leavenopawsbehind.com and help us help them.
Rescues rescue, fosters save lives! How our foster program works right here at Leave No Paws Behind, Inc.! Due to the nature of our rescue, ( seniors, special needs, severe medical cases and end of life,) we have a very unique and amazing network tier of fosters! We provide hospice care for those who are deemed terminally ill by the vet and shelter alike. These sweet animals remain in a loving long or short term hospice care foster home where they continue to receive love, kindness and medical care for as long as needed. We also have special needs seniors, blind, deaf, mobility issues, serious medical issues and heart conditions and are between the ages of 13-20 years old. They remain in regular long term foster care and continue to receive love, kindness and medical care for as long as needed.
We also provide short term foster care for our rescues, who although some are seniors, are very highly adoptable and can go on to live a happy life in a loving forever home! We have a core group of fosters who we never, ever want to be a "foster fail" as they continue to help us continue to help save lives! So while we would all like every rescue animal to be a foster fail, it is important to note that the sooner we can place our "adoptable" rescues, the sooner we can move on to save another life in need!
If you are in the So Ca area and would like to join our ever growing network of amazing and loving fosters, please e mail info@leavenopawsbehind.com and help us continue to help them and give the gift of life and love. Here at Leave No Paws Behind, Inc., their life matters and for the duration of time they remain in our care, the rescue never ends with the pull. LNPB provides all medical needs and special food (as needed) for all of our rescues, all you supply is the love <3 tw, LNPB
