Foothills Animal Rescue Charity Profile
Foothills Animal Rescue (FAR) was organized in February 1995 by Liz Northcott and a small group of volunteers at the urging of local veterinarian, Dr. Cliff Faver, to help solve the problem of unwanted, abandoned, abused, and lost cats and dogs in the Cave Creek, Carefree, New River, North Scottsdale, and the Desert Hills areas. We initially worked out of the homes of volunteers. In September, 1995, our group opened a small gift shop/art gallery and administrative office in Cave Creek and achieved official 501 (c) (3) or non-profit status.
We continue to operate as a no-kill organization, fostering displaced animals in the homes of dedicated volunteers until owners are located or suitable new homes are found. Medical care, spay and neuter surgery, basic immunizations, micro-chipping, and TLC are part of the total care package provided for each companion animal in our care. We also do some basic temperament testing and personality assessment so that potential adopters can be provided with a better total picture of each animal offered for adoption.
