Door Sticker "Assistance Dog Welcome"

Kaufbeuren – assistance dog friendly!

Confirmation of an assistance dog friendly municipality by the Mayor of Kaufbeuren, Stefan Bosse: The well-being of all our citizens is of paramount importance to me as a mayor and for us as a municipality in the first place. Thereby we feel a special duty of care towards people who, due to a medical condition or disability, have or disability face great challenges. That is why we would like to help - wherever possible - to make their everyday lives easier. We are very happy to participate in the campaign "Assistance Dog Welcome". Assistance dogs are specially trained to provide long-term support to people with chronic impairments. They help in everyday life, provide safety and enable those affected to lead a more mobile life. Therefore they must also have access to all public areas - even where dogs are not normally allowed. However, assistance dog owners are actually denied access with their "dog aid". We want to change this and therefore support the campaign to increase the access rights of assistance dogs. Our commitment fits seamlessly into our ongoing endeavour to achieve an inclusive community. Already in 2007, we started working through the specially founded municipal department of Kaufbeuren-aktiv working on continuous improvements in the areas of youth, education, integration, democracy and tolerance. Being an "Assistance Dog Friendly Municipality" is a new essential piece of the puzzle for us on this path. Stefan Bosse Mayor of the City of Kaufbeuren
