Foothills Animal rescue began its mission to save lives in Cave Creek, Arizona in 1995 as a foster based organization dedicated to saving lives of homeless dogs and cats. Through hard work and resounding dedication by staff and volunteers, Foothills Animal Rescue was able to grow and open a standing adoption center in 2010. Foothills Animal Rescue is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that advances our mission through fiscal responsibility and that our rescue is in line with best practices in animal welfare.
