Mission

Founded in 2017, Fishtails Animal Rescue (FAR) is a foster-based 501(c)3 organization committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of the at-risk, stray, and shelter animals of Philadelphia. FAR provides animals with necessary medical treatment, safe and loving foster homes, and ultimately- their forever home.

FAR established the Fishtails Fighting Chance Fund to help pet owners by alleviating some of the financial burden that emergency care brings. The fund helps owners avoid surrender or euthanasia of their pet in times of crisis by assisting them in covering medical costs beyond routine veterinary care and keeping the pet with their loving family.
