How Verein ABRI brings
Glimmers of Hope
REGULAR VISITS
Therapy Dog Visits
Our therapy dogs from Hundetherapie und -schule Bodmer meet people wherever they are – in children's homes, clinics, hospices, nursing and care homes, at Zurich Lighthouse or directly at home. Every visit is unique – tailored to the immediate needs, with sensitivity, presence and respect.
THE FOREST INVITES YOU
Learning and Fairytale Forest
Among moss and roots live forest animals, fairies and dwarves, accompanied by the wisdom of Native Americans. The forest invites us to immerse yourself and to remember what we have always known.

THE FOREST INVITES YOU
ABRI Wolf
The stuffed wolf arrives quietly. As a power animal, it gives courage and becomes a glimmer of light in dark moments. The wolf stays, gentle, watchful, and carries a piece of strength with it.
Join in and give strength:
1 ABRI Wolf = CHF 15.–
or even a whole pack 🐺🐺🐺
Thanks to our generous donors, we are able to present the wolves each year on behalf of many hearts. Every wolf brings not only joy – but also a connection.
FOR FAMILIES ON A SMALL BUDGET
Autumn Fair
Verein ABRI makes it possible with its autumn fair. Families on a tight budget receive new clothes, toys, and bicycles – and with them, joy, inspired by the founder's family history, as she herself grew up in poverty. Do you also have well-preserved children's items that could bring joy to others? We welcome your donation and ar happy to pick it up from your home if desired.

A SPECIAL GIFT FOR FAMILIES
Fairytale Hotel
We offer families with limited budgets a valuable family break. A place where you can leave everyday life behind, simply breathe and enjoy.
HARRY THE THERAPY HORSE
Animal Encounters
Today, Harry lives peacefully in retirement and has taken on a new and very special role as a therapy horse: bringing moments of hope, calm and strength.
His journey began very differently. Harry was once destined for the slaughterhouse, but life had other plans for him. He went on to support someone through a serious illness before becoming ill himself and eventually finding his place within the herd.
A visit to the herd offers space to observe the horses, feel their calming presence and simply be.
We look forward to many new encounters.
