On Sunday, March 31st, several organizations, including our Marsh shelter, traveled to Rebecq to take in about a hundred animals held in appalling conditions. Eight geese were deposited in Coutisse by Help Animals following the seizure. As soon as they caught sight of the large and beautiful pond, they hurried to it, wings outstretched, radiating with joy. We now wish them a peaceful and happy life.

We responded to a call for projects from the Brussels Region at the end of 2023. One of these projects, entitled "Mantrailing and shelter dogs, a link to adoption" has been accepted! Since this spring, our teams and dogs have been introduced to this activity under the supervision of mantrailing instructor Julie Sanchez. The aim? To enable our dogs to have a constructive mental expenditure by implementing natu

Laura Noël, manager of our Refuge du Marais in Coutisse, shared her concern on RTL-TVi's "Images à l'appui" program about the staggering number of serious cases of mistreatment since the beginning of the year. Our Marais team has been involved in a dozen seizures and taken charge of over 30 animals since mid-January. Underfed horses, clandestine zoos, farm animals wading in their own excrement… This animal m

We received a total of 290 euros in donations to buy harnesses for our dogs. We've just come back from Tom and Co with a very nice purchase: 8 beautiful, large anti-pull models for our big dogs! Thanks to everyone who participated! Thanks to you, we'll be able to get our dogs used to putting them on and wearing them when they go out in our parks and on outings with them around the shelter. More comfortable for

Thank you to everyone who helped our association in 2023! Have you made a donation or would you like to make a donation of at least 40 euros in 2024? Since January 1, 2024, in order to be able to issue a tax certificate, SPF Finances requires us to provide them with your national register number.

This energetic French bulldog cross had been found abandoned in Brussels with her kibbles. As the 15-day deadline had passed and no one had come to claim Shiva, she was put up for adoption. We have given priority to analyzing puppy adoption applications received via our https://www.veeweyde.be/adopter-un-chiot After several appointments that went very well, we decided to entrust Shiva to a great couple who wi

Good news: it will no longer be possible to refuse a tenant because of their pet in Brussels. In future, landlords will need "reasonable grounds for refusal", thanks to a draft ordinance amending the Brussels Housing Code. This point enshrines the right for tenants to have a pet, and thereby recognizes that our pets are fully-fledged members of our households! Indeed, at the end of March 2024, the Brussels Parli

On Sunday March 31, our Refuge du Marais team went to Rebecq with the associations Animaux en Péril, Help Animals, le Rêve d'Aby and Opale, at the request of the police, to take charge of around 100 animals held in miserable conditions. Initially, walkers noticed goats, rabbits, hens, geese, ducks and birds held in tiny cages or bathing in pools of mud. The alarm was raised with the local Rebecq police, who we
