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.
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.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’re building on 50 years of impact and carrying that legacy forward for the animals and families who will need us in the years ahead.


Save the Date! We’re hosting a 50th Birthday Party this July, and you’re invited! Join us at Foothills Animal Shelter on July 18, 2026, for a very special Shelter Showcase celebrating the evolution of Foothills over the past 50 years.
