Phinney's Friends

Phinney’s Friends believes that the human-animal bond is a source of love, joy, comfort and fulfillment for both people and their pets. That’s why we help low-income people with disabling illnesses and other hardships keep this bond with their pets, by assisting with everyday pet care.

Phinney’s Friends helps low-income people in the Boston area keep their pets. Be it by caring for cats and dogs when their owners are hospitalized, by helping pay a vet bill, or giving advice about pet behavior and care, we try to be there for as many people as we can. And to do that, we need your help!

The more volunteers we get, the more people and pets we can help. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering.

If you are struggling to keep your pet, know that you have options before surrendering him. Even if we cannot help you at this moment, other organizations might be able to assist you. Take a look at our list of resources.

Phinney’s Friends does not receive any government funding. The organization exists thanks to the generosity of private donors, volunteers and businesses that support us in many ways.

Your donation will help us to provide care for those who cannot care for their pets due to illness and financial hardship.
