It has always been a dream of mine to find a way to help keep families and their beloved pets stay together and in their homes. In 2020 after a decade of rescuing shelter animals, Leave No Paws Behind finally realized that dream with our newest nonprofit program the Leave No Paws Behind "People, Helping People, Helping Paws" Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic.

Since inception and opening our doors, we have helped keep hundreds of dogs and cats out of shelters and in their homes by providing low income families with the care they need for their pets. In 2022, LNPB added Orthopedic Services to our menu in an effort to continue to help so many more! Since the inception of our newest program, we have helped thousands of families care for their pets in a loving environment at low and affordable costs.

In 2023, LNPB expanded the clinic adding more staff, space, and expanding our days of operation. I have always believed that no pet parent should ever have to choose between life and death for their beloved fur family member due to the lack of funds for medical care. LNPB will continue to grow and find new ways to help families and their pets stay together and out of the shelters. tw, LNPB

LNPB’s newest program, the People, Helping People, Helping Paws Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic serves under-resourced communities to ensure pets stay with their families and out of shelters. Here at LNPB we believe no family should ever have to choose between life and death for their beloved pet due to lack of funds for medical care.

Tonight as I was sitting here, I got a little teary eyed thinking about all of the sweet seniors, who are abandoned to shelters every day by the only humans they ever loved, and are left to die on a cold shelter floor alone and wondering. Their soulful and sad eyes taunt me when we rescue them as I watch them search for a familiar face and listen for a familiar voice which sadly I know, will never come. As I was deep in thought, Alley came to me and gently nudged my arm.

I reached down and held her face in my hands and whispered through my tears: “ You have been my rock for all these years. You have kissed away my tears and eased my worries and fears more times then I can remember. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful to have you right here by my side. I know you are growing old and sometimes tired however I promise you, as long as there is a breath left in my body and soul, I will be your eyes when your world grows dark, I will be your ears when your world has gone silent, and I will be your legs when you find you no longer have the strength to move with ease. Most importantly, I will always be by your side, as you have always been by mine. When the time comes and you feel we must say good bye, though my heart will crack, I promise you I will be the last face you see and the last voice you will ever hear. 

Yes, Alley, I will be the last tender touch you feel and I will be the last kiss you feel on your cold, wet nose. My promise to you sweet girl is that when that dreaded day comes, I will be as strong for you as you have always been for me. Yes, you will take a piece of my then broken heart however yours will always remain etched in mine. You are so much more than my senior dog, you are my heart and soul, my best friend and companion of 13 years, and I love you”. tw, LNPB

I fulfilled my promise to my sweet girl on 01/29/2015. Rest in peace my sweet angel Alley, mommy loves and misses you so.
