Core offering

Fundación ACAVALL delivers animal-assisted intervention services (therapy, education, and leisure) using dogs, horses, cats, and chickens for people with functional diversity, individuals in vulnerable situations, seniors, students, and other beneficiaries. Services are directed by healthcare professionals (Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Physiotherapists) and include the accredited CRECE dependency-care service, bidirectional human-animal welfare projects, after-school programs, and professional training courses in animal-assisted interventions. All programs are delivered directly at the foundation's two facilities and through mobile outreach to partner organizations across the Valencia region.

Product overview

Fundación ACAVALL operates as a single unified service organization rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The foundation offers an integrated portfolio of animal-assisted intervention services centered on three core pillars: Therapy, Education, and Leisure assisted with animals. These services are delivered through distinct but complementary programs including Terapia Asistida con Animales, Servicio Acreditado CRECE, Educación Asistida con Animales, Ocio Asistido con Animales, Proyectos Bidireccionales, and Escoletas/Campamentos. The foundation also maintains La Fábrica de Huellas as a branded physical space (opened 2018) that serves as headquarters and hosts training, workshops, and a Dog-Friendly café with cat adoption. Additionally, Formación en Intervención Asistida con Animales provides educational courses for professionals interested in the field. The organization has been developing these programs since 2007 and serves people with functional diversity and social vulnerability.

Direct peers

• Fundación Affinity: Spanish foundation (linked to Affinity Petcare) focused on the human-animal bond and animal-assisted therapy programs in Catalonia. Closest direct peer in terms of mission (animal welfare + human therapeutic benefit) and Spanish regional footprint, though larger corporate backing.
• DeJemos Huella: Spanish animal welfare and advocacy nonprofit (already listed as an ACAVALL partner) working on responsible pet ownership and animal protection. Comparable smaller nonprofit in adjacent animal welfare and education space.
• CTAC (Centre de Teràpies Assistides amb Cans): Catalan nonprofit specializing in dog-assisted therapy and educational interventions for people with functional diversity and vulnerable groups. Highly comparable in service offerings (Terapia, Educación, Ocio) and beneficiary profile to ACAVALL.
• Asociación Bocalán: Spain-wide nonprofit providing animal-assisted intervention services and professional training, with multiple regional centers. Direct peer in service mix (therapy + professional formación) and operating model across Spanish regions.

Broad incumbents

• Fundación ONCE: Large Spanish foundation for the inclusion of people with disabilities, providing employment, accessibility, and social services nationally. Adjacent incumbent serving the same primary beneficiary group (people with functional diversity) at much greater scale.
• Green Chimneys: Long-established US nonprofit combining animal-assisted therapy, education, and nature-based programs for children with special needs. Broad incumbent with a much larger footprint, but directly comparable in integrating therapy animals, accredited programs, and educational mission.
• Pet Partners: Largest US therapy animal organization, registering therapy animal teams and providing professional training. Comparable as a sector-shaping organization offering therapy animal services, professional formation, and volunteer-network programs.
• AEIMA (Asociación Española de Intervención con Animales): Spanish national association representing and accrediting professionals in animal-assisted interventions. Comparable as both a sector peer (training/accreditation) and a convening body for the same practitioner community ACAVALL serves.

Regional players

• Hermanas Hospitalarias: Major Catholic healthcare network operating psychiatric, disability, and elderly care facilities across Spain and internationally; already a named ACAVALL partner. Comparable as a regional healthcare/social-services incumbent that delivers therapy and dependency care to overlapping populations.

Emerging players

• IAA (Institute for Applied Animal-Assisted Therapy): International organization focused on applied animal-assisted therapy research and practitioner training. Comparable emerging player in the formación/professional certification space that ACAVALL participates in via its training arm.
