The association provides voluntary support to seniors by looking after their pets. This also includes walking the dogs. To do this, a photo of the dog and owner is taken at the beginning and published as an appeal on the homepage. As an all-round talent, Marcel not only coordinates contacts, but also distributes donations in kind, such as litter or food. Elisabeth Konzelmann and her dog Mara An accident resulting in torn ligaments on both sides and a bone splinter in her right ankle left Elisabeth Konzelmann confined to her house in Bad Cannstatt. This meant that she could no longer walk her dog Mara. The Silver Paws quickly found numerous volunteers who took on the job. Now they come to Elisabeth's three times a day to pick up Mara for a walk. Marlies Matheis and Labrador Retriever Benni The nine-year-old Labrador Retriever Benny needs a lot of exercise. However, walking him is difficult for Marlies due to her back and knee problems. She also turned to the Silver Paws. This is how Thomas Rupps became aware of her advert in the newspaper. The self-employed tennis instructor has a lot of time due to the current situation and enjoys the daily walks with Benni. Martin Aberle and terrier Yannick The 62-year-old early retiree only manages to take his terrier to the park in his home town of Göppingen once a day. Long walks with Yannick are no longer possible due to his slipped disc. In order to still give his dog enough exercise, Martin turned to the Silver Paws. The eight-year-old terrier is particularly fond of long-time dog walker Denise Kitt.
