About Us
Since 1995, Foothills Animal Rescue (FAR) has been helping homeless pets throughout Arizona; specifically, the metropolitan Phoenix area. Our beautiful, award-winning Brynne Smith Memorial Campus & Adoption Center in Scottsdale is an adoption-guarantee facility. That means the dogs and cats at FAR remain in our care until they find a loving home. For some, adoption will happen in a matter of hours or days, but for others, it could take months to find a family.
Upon entering our Campus you will notice the clean and quiet environment. This isn't your typical animal shelter! Dogs are housed in spacious suites while cats live in a variety of community cat rooms (each with a window to survey their surroundings). There are no bars or cages here. An outdoor play yard complete with splash pad and misting system becomes a favorite spot of many of our shelter dogs (and volunteers).
At FAR, the pets are part of our family while they wait to be part of YOURS!
