MISSION & HISTORY

Every remarkable journey begins with inspiration—a spark of light to guide the way. For Noble Alliance, that spark is Frehel—a 14-year-old golden retriever born in Paris, whose life stands as an example of the power of the human-animal bond. Frehel has changed lives. He has transformed the world of his pet parents and, through his presence, touched countless others. For over a decade, as a certified visiting dog, he has brought solace to patients—including those in their final days. His journey has revealed a stark reality: while pets shape and enrich our lives, the resources meant to support this bond lag behind. That realization led to the creation of Noble Alliance. Founded in Geneva—a global city known for bringing people, ideas, and now pets together— Noble Alliance was built as a collaborative hub to empower change through partnerships. Its aim is to create a new pet-centric ecosystem that supports and strengthens the human-animal bond across eight pathways of progress—research-driven initiatives designed to dismantle barriers, unlock opportunities, and shape a future where the bond between pets and people is fully recognized, protected, and empowered. The alliance has begun. Will you stand with us?
