How it all began

In 2013, the inspiring initiative 'Chien de Cœur' was born. At that time, our primary mission was to offer animated visits by volunteers accompanied by their dogs to the elderly in Monaco, with the aim of providing physical well-being to these individuals. Every week, 'Chien de Cœur' organizes visits to CRIII, A Qietüdine, Cap Fleuri, and Hector Otto.

In 2014, we proudly formalized our partnership with the Princess Grace Hospital Center (CHPG).

In 2023, we enthusiastically celebrate the tenth anniversary of our association, 'Chien de Cœur'. Whether with gold, diamonds, or dollars, 'Chien de Cœur' cannot thrive without the selfless commitment of dedicated volunteers. It is thanks to these volunteers that our association has been able to function and shine. 

On Thursday, November 23, 2023, an unexpected event added a memorable page to our history: the visit of Princess Charlène. The spontaneity of this encounter made this moment even more precious, testifying to Princess Charlène's kindness towards our cause. Her visit will remain engraved in our memories as a source of inspiration and motivation, strengthening our determination to continue our efforts with conviction.

Our goal remains unchanged: to bring happiness to both the elderly and volunteers and to continue spreading warmth and joy through our visits and our sincere commitment to our noble cause.
