If we have any Veterans/First Responders out there that would be interested one of our dogs coming home from being trained up at the prison please give us a shout. Sammie is due home next week. He has learned his commands and is happiest when he has a job to do. He would make a great companion animal, emotional support dog or just your best buddy to hang out with.

This was copied from another page, but it is very true!!

📢‼️Sharing again because EVERYONE needs to read this if you are thinking of adopting!!!! Here lately we have more returns coming back and if everyone would think of it this way it could avoid that! We work soooo hard with these dogs and put months of work, foster care, interviews, education to fosters/adopters in and we finally celebrate an adoption…….or do we???? Not usually because seems like lately more are coming back than going out 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

It takes time and patience! No dog deserves to be judged by its first hours, days, even weeks!! It takes time and work!

Adopting a pet? Congrats! You've just picked someone up in your car who isn't great at communicating, just got out of a tough situation, and isn't sure if they trust you yet. Sound familiar? That's because the first three days with a new pet are basically a 72-hour first date.

It's exciting, it's awkward, and it's definitely not the time to start planning your holiday cards or giving them a bubble bath.

No judgment, but some of y'all might need a quick refresher on first-date etiquette. So here's your official guide to early red flags (from you, not them).

🚩 Leaving them unattended like it's no big deal
Imagine showing up to a blind date and immediately getting ditched at a party where you know no one. That's how your pet feels when they're left alone right away.

Bottom line: Don't ghost your new pet. It's day one. Stick close.

🚩 Being too handsy
They're cute. You're smitten. But this isn't the moment for kisses, cuddles, or TikToks with voiceovers. You just met. They don't know your intentions yet.

This isn't a fling; it's the start of something real. Let them come to you. (Consent matters, even in pet parenting.)

🚩 Introducing them to your entire cast of characters
You ever meet someone and they immediately want you to meet their mom? Yikes.

Your pet doesn't need to meet your whole social circle (or animal crew) right away. Let them settle in, one face at a time. Save the group hangs for later.

🚩 Giving them a bath
You wouldn't give someone you just met a bath, and if you would… we don't want to talk about this anymore.

Yes, shelter pets can be a little stinky. But baths are a lot. They're wet, stressful, and weirdly intimate for a pet who doesn't even know your hobbies yet. Spritz some pet-safe essential oils around the house and give them time to decompress before sudsing them up.

🚩 Taking them on a spontaneous adventure
You are not on The Bachelor. No one wants a surprise helicopter ride on day one.

Keep things calm and close to home. No breweries, dog parks, or road trips. Your pet's just trying to figure out which room has the snacks, don't make them learn a whole new location yet.

🚩 Expecting instant love
Some folks swipe right, go on one date, and expect sparks to fly immediately. The same energy applies to new pet parents who expect instant attachment.

Sometimes it does happen, but more often, it's a slow burn. They might hide under the bed, bark at the fridge, or side-eye you for three days straight. It doesn't mean it's not working. It just means you're still getting to know each other.

💘 The Bottom Line: Love doesn't always strike like lightning. Sometimes, it starts with awkward silences, side-eyes, and mutually agreeing that you won't make any sudden moves. But give it time, stay patient, and keep showing up, and you just might find yourself in the best relationship of your life.

Looking for your new best friend??? Stop by Petco, 10000 W Sahara in the morning between 9 - 11 and any of these sweethearts would be a wonderful choice. Look for us inside the store since it’s way too hot to have these precious babies outside. Be there early and beat the heat! See you there…

We are desperately looking for a short term foster or foster to adopt for this young boy (2 yrs old) Both he & his owner are coming out of an abusive situation and we need to find placement for him to keep him safe from any further issue. In keeping him safe, we will be helping the owner as well. It would be helpful to know a little about the breed. He is a neutered English Bulldog that is a good boy for the most part. He is approximately 55-60lbs ands needs someone willing to work with him. He would be best as the only dog. This can be a possible foster to adopt. Time is of the essence for this handsome boy. Please consider helping out. For additional information, please reach out to us at: [email protected]

We want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday weekend. Out of respect for our animals, and so that our volunteers are able to spend time with their families, there will be No Adoptions this weekend. We will see you next week and take care of your furry friends this holiday weekend.

🎆🐾 Fireworks may light up the sky—but they can shatter a pet’s sense of safety. 🐾🎆

As we get ready for the 4th of July, we’re urging our community to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Loud booms and flashing lights can cause severe anxiety, injuries, and even death in our beloved animals.

Our team at Those Left Behind Foundation created this special guide to help you keep your furry family safe this holiday.👇

🧡 Keep them indoors
🎶 Create a quiet, comforting space
🆔 Double-check tags & microchips
🚫 Skip personal fireworks
💊 Talk to your vet if needed

📌 Please share this post to help spread the word.
Let’s make this 4th of July safer for every pet in our neighborhoods.
