Annual Events & Fundraisers

At Foothills Animal Rescue, our annual events bring together people who are passionate about animals, supporters, and the community to celebrate second chances and raise vital funds for homeless pets. From our Paws to Celebrate gala to our casual and popular Whiskers and Wine, each event plays an important role in supporting our mission to save and enrich the lives of cats and dogs in need.

When you attend, sponsor, or volunteer at our events, you’re not only enjoying a meaningful experience—you’re helping provide medical care, shelter, and loving homes for the cats and dogs who need us most.

Join us throughout the year as we come together to make a life-saving difference, one event at a time.
