Zavod PET
Institute for Animal-Assisted Interventions with Dogs
Through dog-assisted therapy and activities, we connect people, encourage cooperation and learning, promote well-being, and create opportunities for genuine human connection. We believe in the power of the human–dog bond and its positive impact on quality of life. Here is what people say about our work:
“The moment a large Golden Retriever approached her bedside, her face lit up despite the pain she was experiencing in her leg. That dog truly brought her a feeling of pure happiness.”
