Gizmo is a charming and very handsome kitty that has not figured out a litter box! He was found in a ditch one day a couple weeks ago, sitting completely still. His finder took him straight to the vet where they checked him out, found nothing wrong with him and sent him home with his finder. Over the next few days, he wasn't using the litter box so she tried a covered box and uncovered. She took him back to the vet for testing and still, no reason was found for him to avoid a litter box. Since we took Gizmo in last week, he has been neutered and we have tried multiple kinds of litter but he has only used ithe box once. Otherwise, he has chosen to go outside the box, even on the shelf of his cat condo. We have added cat attract litter and still no luck so far. We are hoping he gets the hang of it but it might be best for this handsome creature to live as a mostly outdoor kitty with a warm place to go when it is cold out. Maybe a barn home? Or maybe you are willing to continue working with him to try to figure out why he doesn't appreciate a clean litter box. Apply to adopt to meet this handsome and friendly fella.

Boogie is making all of our hearts melt right now! This speckled dude is very overwhelmed by the world and people are especially scary right now. It does take Boogie a bit to warm up to new faces and places but other dogs is totally different! He LOVES meeting new dogs and actually is more confident in the company of a more social dog. We think Boogie's ideal home would have another confident dog in it to show him the ropes. But, he will probably always thrive better as more of a homebody dog. The world seems a little too big for this guy! Boogie would benefit from going into a calm, more mature home where they let him get used to his new environment slowly. He is content curling up on a bed in your presence and warms up as you toss him tasty treats. If you're lucky, he will sit right beside you and let you give him a "hug" with one of you arms. Boogie seems like such a gentle and sensitive dog, we know that there is someone out their who is the best medicine for him. If you think that your home is what Boogie needs then consider applying to adopt him!

Cocomo is a male African grey; his exact age is unknown but he is over 30 years old. Cocomo has a sweet, lively personality! He loves to whistle, dance, and make a variety of bizarre beeps and other noises. Cocomo has a wide vocabulary including his own name, “pretty bird” and still continues to learn other frequently heard words like “Mr. Bean.” Cocomo loves a variety of fruits and vegetables but his favorites include apples, oranges, and cucumbers. He loves to take baths in his water bowl and walk around as much as he can. Cocomo tilts his head for scratches from trusted individuals and, once he knows you, will easily step up on a stick from his cage. He will also step up on to the arm of a trusted individual away from his cage. Cocomo needs a loving home that can give him attention and space to exercise.

Cocomo is a cancer surviver. He underwent surgery years ago and had to have his preen gland removed. He gets respiratory infections from time to time, so needs a home to monitor him for that, and get him help when needed.

Hello, I'm Zee, a 4 year old Boxer mix with a precious face. My tongue is always peeping out of my mouth whether it be just a little bit or a few inches worth, making for a permanent "blep". I am as sweet as sugar and have a go with the flow attitude. I take everything in stride and am ready to be your sidekick!

I am heartworm positive, but that doesn't mean my heart has any less love to give. The humans tell me not to worry because heartworms are very common in strays like me, but the good news is that I am easily curable! Foothills Humane Society will even cover the expenses of my heartworm treatment until I am negative. For more information on heartworms, read this awesome article by The American Heartworm Society:

If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an adoption application online through the Foothills Humane Society website, foothillshumanesociety.org.

Our beautiful Nessa girl did not live a great life before coming to the rescue. She was used as a bait dog and came to us with many scars to prove her past was horrible. She also had a significant eye injury that required us to remove her eye and left her partially blind in the other eye - but does this stop this girl from being one of the most loving and loyal dogs every - no - she is the epitome of a rescue dog that shows every day how thankful she is for being rescued. While she has made progress being around other dogs we feel the best and safest fit for Nessa is a home where she can be the only dog as she deserves the full attention from her humans. Because her vision is impaired we do not think a home with small children would be a good fit for Nessa but she would love to cuddle in an older childs lap. Nessa is estimated to be 4 years old and is 60 pounds. She is current on her vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, dewormed and she was heartworm positive when she came to the rescue but finished her treatment and is now current on her heartworm prevention. Nessa is so deserving of a happy ever after and we are determined to give that to her. She is going to be an amazing addition to some very very lucky family. If you are interested in adopting Nessa please go to our website and fill out one of our adoption applications. We do require vet references and a home visit.

Maggie, Mags, Mag-licious...this girl is a total BABE! We can't get enough of her chubby cheeks and her thiccc bod. Maggie definitely has all the jiggle in all the right places but it might be good in a new home for her to get up and move a bit more. She landed back at our adoption center due to her owner falling ill and not able to care for her anymore. Although she is warming up to us now, Maggie was not happy being out of her home environment and we hope she gets into a new one soon. This chunky girl would probably prefer a life in solitude without the hassle of getting to know other pets. She was adored and spoiled as an 'only child' and we think she deserves to be pampered like that again! Maggie LOVES head scratches and gladly offers the best head boops once she is comfortable with you. We think one of the reasons her body is so voluptuous is because it is holding all the personality this girl has to offer! She is a real delight to be around and will be a source of constant entertainment and joy for her new home. She is a bit more independent but don't think that means she isn't affectionate, she's a total love bug! If you think your home is missing Maggie then please consider applying to adopt her!
