Fish and Aquatic Animal Sanctuary
Our Mission
Friends of Philip aims to foster the connection between people and aquatic life through sharing the stories and vibrant personalities of our rescued residents. Our organization focuses on: broadening the rescue conversation to include non-mammal aquatic life; advocating for the end of consumption and commodification of farmed and wild-caught fish and aquatic life; educating the public on fish and aquatic animal welfare, sentience, and health; and providing sanctuary to rescued fish and aquatic life.
Our Residents
Friends of Philip is home to over 100 individuals of more than 25 species!
Our resident species include: goldfish, bettas, cichlids, catfish, tetras, danios, and more!

Philip was our first rescue and the reason for all that we do. Learn more about how we got started and what we’re working on now.
We said goodbye to Philip in 2023, but his legacy lives on in the work we do and the care we provide to the residents we’ve rescued in his name.
