🎉75 ADOPTIONS IN ONE WEEK!🎉
WOW! We are absolutely blown away. This week, Foothills Animal Rescue celebrated a record-breaking 75 adoptions — 47 cats and 28 dogs beginning exciting new chapters with their families!

❤️A huge part of this incredible week was our 831 Adoption Special, made possible by the generosity of the Smith Family, who covered the adoption fees for 60 pets over the weekend in honor of Brynne. Their generosity helped create so many beautiful new beginnings right before our eyes.
To our incredible community: thank you. Thank you for showing up, for patiently waiting to meet our pets, and for giving our team the time to ensure every adoption received the attention it deserved. We take each match seriously, and seeing so many pets leave our doors with loving families was something we will never forget.
Our shelter is definitely feeling a little quieter after such an incredible week — but rescue never stops! We already began welcoming new pets into our care yesterday who will soon be looking for families of their own. 🐶🐈

WOW… 43 ADOPTIONS IN ONE DAY! 🤯❤️🐾

Our community showed up in an incredible way today, and we truly can’t thank you enough! 43 pets found homes today—a single-day adoption record for Foothills Animal Rescue! 🎉

We were amazed by how many people walked through our doors excited to meet a new best friend. To everyone who patiently waited in line to meet pets and complete the adoption process, thank you. We take every adoption seriously and never want to rush the process of making the right match, and we are so grateful for your patience and kindness along the way.

We’re ending Day 1 with only TWO dogs still available for adoption! But don’t worry, cat lovers—we still have plenty of wonderful cats waiting to meet their families tomorrow. 🐈❤️ https://foothillsanimal.org/adopt/

Thank you for making Day 1 of our 831 Adoption Event one we will never forget. 43 pets are sleeping in homes tonight because of YOU! 🏡🐾

(We will share ALL adoption photos on Monday)🥰

What does 831 mean?
Our adoption center was built in memory of Brynne Smith, whose love for animals continues to inspire our mission today. For Brynne and her family, 831 meant “I love you” — 8 letters, 3 words, 1 meaning. Each year, we celebrate 831 in her honor by continuing her legacy and helping more homeless pets find loving homes. Every adoption is an act of love. Every 831 is a reminder of the lives we’re changing together.

Meet darling Dottie! This 6-year-old girl is in need of her furever home!

Dottie is a stunning tortoiseshell, or tortie. In ancient folklore, these cats were said to be "magical cats lit from within."
No two are the same, each with their own unique markings.

Dottie is a gentle girl who would fit perfectly in a quiet home.

She's not a fan of loud noises, but would love a lap she could curl up in!

Fun fact: most torties are female.

Dottie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

We are open every day from 10 am to 5 pm.

A generous FAR supporter has sponsored Dottie's adoption fee!

Meet marvelous Mae! Mae is a special girl who came to us when her owner moved. She is 8 years old and very gentle, but a little shy ... understandable since she is a bit confused right now.

Would you consider opening your heart and home to this beautiful tabby? She still has so much love to give!

Mae has the famous "M" between her eyes like all tabbies do. There are several wonderful stories about the meaning of this "M."

Mae is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

We are open every day from 10 am to 5 pm.

Another week, another 14 lives changed! 🐾❤️ Last week, we celebrated 8 cat adoptions and 6 dog adoptions, and we couldn’t be happier for each of these pets and their new families!

Thank you to everyone who chose adoption and opened their heart and home to a pet in need. Every adoption saves a life and gives another homeless pet the opportunity for a brighter future. 🏡✨

Ready to change a life? Come meet the amazing cats and dogs still waiting for their people at Foothills Animal Rescue! 🐶🐈
