As we reflect on the first three months of 2024 as a pet charity in Ontario, we’re filled with gratitude for the unwavering support from our community and the countless lives we’ve touched together.

From Jan. 1 to March 31, a total of 266 veterinary clinics across Ontario used Farley Foundation funding. These clinics helped an incredible 536 pets, with an additional 37 pets benefiting from our Pets to Vets program.

These veterinary clinics are Ontario Veterinary Medical Association member clinics. One of the foundation’s current strategic goals is to increase member clinic participation, and to encourage more clinics to access Farley Foundation funding to support more communities across Ontario.


Diverse procedures, tailored care

Farley Foundation funding covers a wide array of non-elective veterinary care to assist pets in need. In the first three months of 2024, we funded 24 different veterinary treatments. These ranged from essential dental care to critical surgical interventions. A deep dive into the care received and conditions treated shows amputations, fracture repairs, exploratory surgeries, mass removals and more.

Geographic impact

From the bustling streets of Toronto to the picturesque corners of Niagara and our nation’s capital of Ottawa, as a pet charity in Ontario we touched lives in 39 communities across the province in the first three months of the year. Notable locations include York (18), Wellington (24), Waterloo (20), Toronto (90), Simcoe (25), Peel (35), Ottawa (32), Niagara (25), Middlesex (12), Halton (31) and Dufferin (50).

During this time, the Farley Foundation distributed nearly $245,000 in funding to subsidize non-elective veterinary care, transforming each dollar into a lifeline for those who need it most. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our supporters.

We remain steadfast in our belief that every pet deserves access to veterinary care, and each day we inch closer towards our goal of doubling our impact by 2027. Together, we will continue to write stories of compassion, resilience and unwavering love—one pet and one family at a time.
