"Friends for the old Age" was established to help alleviate the loneliness of the elderly, both by encouraging pet raising and by assisting pet-loving seniors in caring for the animals to which they are strongly attached to. The volunteers come to the elderly homes, host a pleasant company and assist them in all aspects of animal care. The pets provide them with a pleasant and non-judgmental company, and together with the volunteers who visit the them, provide a wonderful and unusual solution to the problem of loneliness.
