End of Life Services

Foothills Animal Shelter is here to help you during the difficult time of your pet’s final stage of life.

The decision concerning euthanasia may be one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make for your pet.  Perhaps the kindest thing you can do for a pet that is terminally ill or severely injured that will never be able to resume a life of good quality, or one that is in its final stage of life, is to have your pet put to sleep quietly and humanely through euthanasia.

Our qualified technicians perform each compassionate procedure.  We are unable to accommodate visitation requests during the procedure, but assure you that your pet will experience a calm, caring, and respectful environment.

Grieve not,

nor speak of me with tears,

but laugh and talk of me

as if I were beside you.
