Our mission is the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals, the rescue of adoptable dogs and cats, and the promotion of spay/neuter education.

From the Desk of CHAMP Official Spokesdog

WELCOME TO OUR NEW WEBSITE!

On behalf of all of us here at Foothills, humans as well as animals, I would like to thank the folks at Maddie’s Fund, whose marketing grant made this website possible

I would also like to thank all of the hard-working staff, volunteers, board members, and donors, who take such good care of us. What would we do without you?

And many thanks go to our amazing photographers, Shelley Dayton and Judith Kerns, whose beautiful photos grace this website. Their work captures the spirit of the animals here -- and makes us look really good!

We are excited to have this new website to showcase the animals here at the shelter, those waiting to be adopted as well as those who have been "found", along with our many special programs, and items of interest to the community. The humans around here have been working really hard to improve our services, especially our adoption rate, which, as you know, is THE most important service we provide, in my humble opinion!

Champ, Official Spokesdog

I would like to issue a personal invitation to each of you to take this opportunity to share in our excitement. We are proud of the many changes we have made, and we are proud of how far we have come. Please stop by and say hello to our super staff and volunteers, and walk around to meet the animals. Check out the kitten room, and the play area in the back. We are always happy to see you! Our hours are Monday-Saturday, 10:30-4, Sundays 1-4, and we are open until 7 on Thursdays.

Just tell 'em Champ sent you!

Woof!
