Resumo: (dog therapy)
The Foundation is a non-governmental organisation working since 2002. The Foundation is involved in dog therapy – a form of activity directed at people with physical and mental disabilities and those suffering from other dysfunctions and illnesses. Dog therapy activities are based on interactions supported by contact with a specially selected and trained dog. We mainly work with disabled children (e.g. with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy etc.).

Besides the dog therapy itself, the Foundation provides educational activities with dogs, specialist trainings for dogs and for people in regard to dog therapy, as well as a dog obedience school. The Foundation also provides educational activities for children of different age groups, teaching the correct and safe behaviour with dogs and respect for animals.
Activities take place in external facilities such as schools, kindergartens, homes for children, hospitals and other special institutions, as well as at the Foundation’s office.
