By granting a standalone Society pillar within PETS for the communities around us, we are aiming to express how important it is to enhance the life of people and pets for the communities we are operating in.

Handi’Chiens Partnership
PPF France has partnered with Handi’Chiens, a remarkable organisation dedicated to training and providing assistance dogs to individuals with disabilities and vulnerabilities.
Through this partnership, our colleagues have gained valuable insight into the incredible work carried out by volunteers, foster families, and association members. They have witnessed the essential role these specially trained dogs play in improving the lives of those they assist.
The collaboration with Handi’Chiens has allowed us to transform our purpose into meaningful action. During a ceremony in Kunheim, our team members proudly witnessed the official transfer of the assistance dog to his new family. This event marked the beginning of a life-changing journey. This community support initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact in the community.
