We provide financial aid for low-income pet owners, to help their sick and injured pets receive essential veterinary care .
Balfour’s Friends Foundation (BFF) is a registered charity founded in 2012. We provide financial aid for low-income pet owners on Vancouver Island, to help ensure that their pets receive essential veterinary care and stay together with their families. BFF is completely volunteer-based and dependent on fundraising, donations and grants.
The service BFF provides recognizes the importance of the therapeutic bond between pets and their people. The individuals who receive assistance from BFF are vulnerable members of our communities, primarily low-income seniors and people with disabilities. For some, their pet is the only living soul they interact with on a daily basis. For all, their pet is a beloved member of their family.
The financial assistance we provide allows many individuals to remain united with their beloved companions rather than being faced with a decision to surrender or euthanize them, or to reallocate funds from their own necessities of life such as food or rent. We provide assistance with compassion and without judgment.
