You can help us too! Look at our [...]

Jo Pilc was one of our nurturing volunteers in 2009 and thanks to her and her friends and colleagues we were able to build Dave, our blind resident from Kennel E13, a personal run. Now he can enjoy some freedom without feeling the need to attack anything in his path.
