If the income of the person is low, the municipality provides the kibbles, in case of hospitalization or need for medical care, the shelter takes care of it, because it remains the property of the animal welfare association.
Denise, aged 88, benefitted from the programme and welcomed Flora, a 4-year old female dog. Denis is really pleased with her new campanion: “I am no longer alone, the house is alive again, because it comes and goes, there is movement, I have company and it brings a lot. I didn’t do well with rhinopharyngitis, she was taking good care of me.”

Jack Pluvinage, President of the SDA (Société de Défense des Animaux, in French), is so satisfied with the programme that he is thinking of extending it to other municipalities.
