The Farley Foundation helps low-income pet owners in Ontario by subsidizing the cost of non-elective veterinary care for their sick or injured pets. You can learn more about the foundation on their website: https://www.farleyfoundation.org/
When I started Black Creek Mobile Veterinary Services, dedicating our care exclusively to the End-of-Life phase for pets, I really wanted to honour the bond, life, and love shared with our beloved companion animals. I knew there would be clients and pets who would really benefit from spending their last shared moments together in the comfort of home. I also knew there would be some who really wanted this experience, but unfortunately, could not afford it. This challenge is real and it affects all of those involved - the pet, the pet caregiver/guardian/owner, the veterinarian, and veterinary team. We hear the stories, we see the connection and love, and we want to help.
Our hearts hurt seeing pets in pain. We can make a difference. Here's where the Farley Fund comes in. This wonderful fund can help pet parents pay for the treatments their pets need. Sometimes, euthanasia is the kindest, most humane treatment option. When low-income pet families wish to use our services to help with an in-home euthanasia, we are fortunate to have access to an allotted amount each year from The Farley Fund. The fund is run by the OVMA (Ontario Veterinary Medical Association), and they have been so good at quickly responding and approving applications for funding our clients in need.
We are asking for your help in continuing to help other pet families in need. Please donate what you can and help make a difference today.
Please note, this fund also helps in veterinary general practices as well, it is not limited to euthanasia.
