50 years of pets and people, better together.

As we mark this milestone, we’re not only reflecting on how far we’ve come, but also looking ahead. The needs of animals and the people who love them continue to grow and change, and Foothills is committed to evolving alongside our community. Throughout our 50th year, we’ll be honoring the stories, partnerships, and lives that have shaped our work and inviting you to be part of what comes next.

In 2026, Foothills Animal Shelter proudly celebrates 50 years of caring for pets and people. Thanks to the compassion, dedication, and generosity of our community, what began as a small, local effort has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of animals and families each year.
