Founded in 2011, this non-profit association develops animal-assisted volunteering. Volunteers and their animals visit older people, people with intellectual disabilities, children and young people in care homes, daycare centres, schools and events. All dog breeds and other animals can participate.
Visits are also made remotely through Microsoft Teams. The association promotes positive animal-handling methods and participates in research projects studying the effects of animals. Supporting membership is available, and members receive a quarterly newsletter.
