Farley Foundation Major Milestone

Farley Foundation surpasses $1 million in veterinary care disbursements!

The Farley Foundation celebrates a major milestone of disbursing over $1 million to help people in need pay for the necessary veterinary care of their pets.  “We’ve come a long way in a relatively short period of time,” says Dr. Mark Gemmill, President of the Farley Foundation.  “When we first opened our doors in 2002, we had hoped to provide Ontario veterinarians with the opportunity to direct some of their benevolent work to assist the neediest pet owners in our communities.  Clearly, the Foundation has struck a chord with Ontarians who understand the bond that exists between people and their pets.  This has given us the momentum and the financial ability to assist nearly 3,000 sick or injured pets belonging to people who benefit most from pet ownership, including disabled individuals, seniors and women at risk of abuse. 

To date, the Farley Foundation has assisted 1,570 dogs; 1098 cats; 8 rabbits; 7 birds; 4 ferrets; and 1 snake, horse, chinchilla, bearded dragon, guinea pig, and hamster.
