Help support vulnerable victims, donate to FYDO.
It’s well known that, in times of stress, pets can help lower our blood pressure and improve our anxiety levels and our sense of well-being. Research studies show that victims of crime also feel, and communicate, better when they interact with a FacilitY DOg (FYDO).
FYDO dogs are selected and trained by certified specialists to help vulnerable victims of all ages. Victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence in particular find their support, in the courtroom or when reporting a violent crime to the police, especially comforting.
VSE has helped facilitate the training and provision of Belgian, French, and Italian FYDO services in police stations, law courts, and victim support organisations. We are currently asking for donations for FYDO’s next phase; we want to create a Europe-wide network of facility dog services and need YOUR help in achieving this goal.
