"To understand a cat, you must realize that he has his own gifts, his own viewpoint, even his own morality.”

YOU Can Make A Difference to the Animals

Abused and abandoned animals in our community need your help. Now.

Foothills Humane Society is a private nonprofit organization. We rely on the support of our friends in the community to fund our programs. All gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Through these donations, we have saved the lives of thousands of abandoned cats and dogs, and helped bring the love and loyalty of animals to children, families and seniors.

The good news is, the pet overpopulation problem is SOLVABLE. We're chipping away at it, year after year with our Spay/ Neuter Assistance and Po’ Kitties programs. Our goal is a community where every companion animal is wanted, treated with respect and in a permanent, loving home and there are No More Homeless Pets.
