🌧️ Blame it on the rain! 🌧️

Mother Nature has a 100% chance of showers lined up for tomorrow, so we’ll be postponing our Petco adoptions.

Soggy puppies = stinky puppies… and definitely unhappy puppies! 🐶💦
Let’s hope for sunshine next Saturday and forever homes just in time for Thanksgiving. 🦃💙🐾

🇺🇸Honoring Our Veterans – Human and Canine🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country — and the loyal service dogs who have stood beside them. ❤️

At Those Left Behind Foundation, our mission is rooted in compassion, connection, and second chances. Through our Pups, Prisoners & Patriots program, we’ve seen firsthand how the bond between people and dogs can heal hearts, restore purpose, and build new beginnings for both.

To all who have served — and to those who continue to serve — we thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and love. 🇺🇸🐶💙

If you’re a veteran or know one whose life has been touched by a rescue dog, we’d love for you to share their story or photo in the comments below.

As the holidays approach, we want to take a moment to say how grateful we are for every volunteer, foster, donor, and adopter who has helped us change lives — one dog at a time. ❤️

For years, Those Left Behind Foundation has been dedicated to giving dogs a second chance — providing love, care, and forever homes to pups who might otherwise be forgotten. None of it would be possible without you.

💬 We’d love to see how our alumni are doing!
If you’ve adopted from TLB, drop an update or photo of your furry family member in the comments below. Tell us how they’re spending the holidays — whether it’s napping by the fireplace, stealing turkey scraps, or snuggling under the tree. 🐶🎄

Thank you for being part of our story — and theirs. Together, we make a difference every single day. 💕

PLEASE SHARE!!
This is a courtesy post for a friend of TLB… this little guy went missing on Nov 1 around 5PM around Gowan & MLK. That is a current picture of little Sebastian. He is neutered, about 2 years old, current on vaccines & was wearing a collar with his name and owners phone #. He is being listed on Paw Boost as well. There is a very sad little boy missing his best friend. Let’s help get Sebastian home. See info in flyer or you can reach out to TLB. Thank you for your help.

Update: Lucy has been adopted!

Please welcome sweet little Lucy back to her TLB family. She was adopted out earlier in 2025 and had to be returned due to her owner’s failing health. It was a very difficult decision that had to be made. She is about 3 years old, up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. She loves everyone. She is doing well with the other dogs in her foster home. She has been well cared for, loved and is about 40 lbs. She would be a great companion if you are in search of one. She will be joining us at Petco (10000 W Sahara) on Saturday at noon if you’d like to meet her. What are you waiting for???🐾💕

When your dog starts getting old, something inside you quietly flips a switch. You block it out, try not to think about it, and pretend time isn’t moving as fast as it is. Sure, you notice the graying muzzle, the cloudy eyes, the slower steps. It’s just like with people — only it hits deeper. It hurts in a way that’s hard to put into words.

It feels like just yesterday you brought home that clumsy little puppy — the one who chewed through a mountain of shoes, tangled himself in phone chargers, peed by the door, and woke you up at the crack of dawn just to play. Now that same dog struggles to jump up on the couch, the one where you watched TV together for years. You lift them gently, because they can’t do it without you anymore.

Outside, their steps are slower, their breathing heavier. But they still try to be who they used to be — chasing a stick, barking at kids, scaring off a curious cat. And you tell yourself, “They’re not old-old. Just a little older.” It’s how you make reality easier to bear.

Every day you notice new little changes — in the way they walk, the way they react, the way they rest. You ask yourself if they understand what’s happening. Then you lie to yourself: “We still have so much time.” But deep down, you know. And guilt creeps in — for the times you got mad over nothing, for leaving them home too long, for not playing enough. You try to make up for it, but nothing feels like enough.

When your dog grows old, be with them as much as you can. Talk to them — a lot. They listen, don’t doubt that for a second. Maybe no one has ever truly listened to you the way they do. Sleep next to them. Press against them. Once they kept you warm — now it’s your turn to keep them warm. Older dogs get cold. Buy them treats. Give them their favorite toys. Hold their face in your hands and tell them you love them.

When your dog grows old, become even more human than you’ve ever been. They gave you unconditional love. They made you laugh when you were broken. To them, you are their whole world. So just be there. Not as their owner. Not as their trainer. But as their one and only — loyal, gentle, and present. All the way to the very end.
