Strong together - humans and dogs

For a self-determined (children's) life

There are moments when a dog can do what no human can:

A silent companion in times of fear. A confidant when everything becomes too much. A calm anchor in everyday life.

This special bond between man and dog must not fail because of money.

That’s why we create places where:

Children and young people with disabilities find their assistance dog
Families get relief and a hearing
Training dogs with heart, mind and time to become reliable helpers

What we do - with your help

We …

advise families with special challenges
select suitable puppies with assistance dog potential
train these dogs professionally and lovingly – adapted to the needs of the people
accompany human-dog teams on their journey together
support future trainers through training and professional guidance

Some of our puppies initially live with experienced foster families until they are ready to be used as assistance dogs – often with children who have had no reason to smile for a long time.

Support a real team for life

Donation projects

Even after the successful test, our human-dog teams need support. Because with an assistance dog comes responsibility, ongoing costs – and new opportunities.

Your donation …

Provides structure and security in everyday life
Provides support in challenging situations
shows: No one is alone

And you? You go to bed at night with the good feeling of having really made a difference.
