We train therapy dogs

We are dedicated to supporting children and adults facing various disabilities by offering animal-assisted therapy – a form of care that brings healing to both the body and the soul. This therapy helps overcome psychological and physical trauma, transforming obstacles into opportunities for a brighter future.

Together with our beneficiaries, we have visited hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and rehabilitation centres, bringing joy, hope, and support to those in need. Through every smile and every moment of connection, we demonstrate that empathy and warmth can make a difference in the recovery and integration process.

Benefits of Therapy Dogs

1. Emotional Support: Therapy dogs help reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Petting a dog can trigger the release of oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone, promoting a sense of calm.
2. Health Improvement: Interacting with therapy dogs can lead to lower blood pressure, reduced heart rate, and decreased levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
3. Social Interaction: Therapy dogs act as social catalysts, encouraging conversations and connections, especially for people with social anxiety or communication difficulties.
4. Cognitive and Emotional Development in Children: Programs that include therapy dogs in educational settings help improve children’s reading skills and emotional intelligence.
