Treat your pet to a happier, healthier, and longer life!
Major health benefits
Did you know that spaying/neutering can benefit a pet's health by decreasing the chance of testicular, mammary, and ovarian cancers? Hormone-driven behaviors such as urine marking and roaming can also often be modified with this surgery.
Too many pets, too few homes
Several million animals enter shelters nationwide every year. Many never find loving homes.

Foothills Animal Shelter is offering an extra low-cost special for a limited time. A $10 discount will be applied for the first 100 pet lovers who book a spay/neuter appointment for February. Please spread the word to help reduce pet overpopulation!

R eunited after 6 years
It's as small as a grain of rice, but it helped Stubbs find his family after 6 long years! Stubbs has a microchip.
In mid-January, the sweet Boston Terrier was brought to the Shelter after being found without a collar and tags. This was 6 years after he was reported missing under suspicious circumstances. His family filed a police report and notified the microchip company in 2006. They never imagined they would see Stubbs again.
After a simple scan, his microchip traced back to his adoring family. The dog was overjoyed to see them again and hear his favorite phrase: Wanna go for a car ride, Stubbs?

Last month, 400 pets in our care found forever homes - that's 115 more than January 2012! Also, 102 lost pets (including Stubbs, mentioned above) have been reunited with their families! We appreciate your continued support as we help orphaned animals get the best chance at a better life.
Sincerely,
