Team
We believe together we can make a difference in the life of people with diabetes, their families and in the life of these animals taking them to a higher level above being a simple pet.
Altruism and motivation characterize our team, and it comes from an high coesionof a group of people around two causes.
We want to give our simple contribution to help lower the rate of abandonment of animals in Portugal and simultaneously contribute to a better quality of life of people with diabetes through a better control, including the stimulus to practice physical exercise, a more frequent monitorization of glicemia values and an easier social inclusion.
In all these aspects we believe the dog is a positive influence.
