Foothills Animal Rescue Kicks Off Summer with Pet Photo Contest and Boutique Rebrand
Foothills Animal Rescue, a trusted name in animal welfare since 1995, continues to make a meaningful impact across the Valley through rescue, care and adoption services for homeless cats and dogs. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the organization operates the Brynne Smith Memorial Campus and Adoption Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, providing a safe and loving space for animals on their journey to finding forever homes. To support its mission, Foothills Animal Rescue relies on the proceeds from its two resale boutiques.
One of the most exciting events of the summer is back—Foothills Animal Rescue’s Annual Photo Contest! Pet owners can enter a photo of their rescued or adopted cat or dog for a chance to be featured in the 2026 Foothills Animal Rescue calendar. Entries open June 15, and voting begins July 1. This year brings an extra treat: the top-voted dog and cat will also be featured on a limited-edition beer label created in collaboration with Pinnacle Brewing Company!
It’s $30 to enter, and that includes a 2026 calendar. Once the photos are in, the public can vote online—each vote is just $1, and every dollar supports the animals at Foothills. The 14 pets with the most votes (7 dogs and 7 cats) will each get a month in the calendar, with the two top vote - getters earning the cover spot and their moment of fame on the beer cans.
Foothills Animal Rescue is also celebrating big changes at its resale boutiques. Foothills Animal Rescue is moving the Carefree Boutique into the heart of the Sundial in Carefree. Moving just a few steps away from the current location, into a larger space with more visibility will hopefully bring in more support for the animals at Foothills Animal Rescue.
The Scottsdale boutique will remain in its current location at 23030 N. Pima Road. Both stores continue to support the mission of helping homeless pets, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the shelter. All items sold at Foothills Animal Rescue Resale Stores are donated to Foothills Animal Rescue. The current Carefree location will remain open until the new location at 22 Easy Street is ready. Foothills Animal Rescue plans on celebrating this expansion with a grand opening soon. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or sign up for the Loyalty Program (text ENROLL to 833-285-6005) to stay updated.
From adorable pet photo contests to stylish shopping with a purpose, Foothills Animal Rescue invites the community to get involved in creative, fun and impactful ways. Whether you’re voting for your favorite furry friend, shopping at their resale boutiques, or visiting the adoption center to meet your next companion, your support makes all the difference.
