In April 2023, Judith Affolter founded the Zurich-based association “Association Artemis” along with Natalie Gilgen and Francesca Crea. Its purpose is to promote reading for people with reading difficulties with the help of so-called “reading dogs”, as well as to provide (socio-)educational support for people with special needs with the help of suitable dogs as companion animals. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.

We are happy to receive support of any kind! You can contact us here
