Foothills Animal Rescue FAR is committed to compassionate and humane treatment of dogs and cats in need through rescue, shelter, fostering and adoption within Maricopa County.

Through the month of February all Black and Tuxedo cats are priced at $25. Won't you give a home to a cool cat? 

"The pet of the week is Picadilly, a one year old female cat. She is a sweet and friendly girl with beautiful golden-green eyes. She is a bit on the shy side, but loves attention if you seek her out. She would absolutely shine with time and love in a Forever Home. Call 480.488.9890 to meet Picadilly.

"FAR animals are available for adoption at PetSmart everyother Saturday from 11:00am to 4:00pm at the Desert Ridge location and every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am to 4:00pm at the PetSmart located in the Whole Foods Shopping Plaza at Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard. Five or six dogs will be available at each event. Come meet your Furever Friend this weekend at PetSmart."

Care For The Horses- 

If you are interested in adopting a horse, check out Care For The Horses CFH. They are a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization that offers many forms of assistance to individuals, such as: 

Feed & Veterinary Assistance

Temporary Foster Care

Permanent Placement of Rescued Horses.

Located in Sierra Vista, Arizona and serving the southern area of our state, CFH was founded by Ann Jost in 2002, after she discovered eleven starving horses while trail riding. The organization is run entirely by volunteers and funded solely through donations.

Don't have the space to keep a horse? No problem, you can help many with your donation. Please contact Ann at careforthehorses@msn.com. 

Rabbit Rescue is another source to find a wonderful sweet pet. 

"Rabbits can make good pets in Arizona if they match your IifestyIe. Rabbits are adorable, soft animals that make popular pets for children. While a rabbit can make a good pet for a child, keep in mind that to be healthy a rabbit requires a quiet, calm living environment. Please only adopt a rabbit if you feel you can create a safe and quiet space for the rabbit in your home. Rabbits can be housetrained to live inside, out of a cage, which dramatically increases their life spans. Rabbits can live as long as a dog or a cat, and unfortunately some people do not approach the decision to get a rabbit with the same seriousness or commitment they might have about getting a dog. Meanwhile, breeders may separate young rabbits from their mothers too early, which damages their immune systems, and pet stores might provide very little information about proper care and nutrition. As a result, countless rabbits die within weeks of being bought. Others are never spayed or neutered, resulting in unanticipated family additions and a major overpopulation problem. Sadly, the majority of these sweet pets are eventually euthanized. Rescue shelters that accept rabbits are often overflowing. If you are planning to bring home a pet rabbit, please adopt."
