Welcome to SRPA Veeweyde

Our association for lost and abandoned animals, for over 100 years in Belgium.

Who are we ?

Renovation 2024-2025

A new shelter for 2025

We did it!

After three years of construction work, our Brussels shelter has been completely transformed. Modernised, expanded and more sustainable than ever, it is becoming a leading reference for animal welfare in Belgium. A redesigned space created to welcome animals, visitors and staff in dignified conditions, in line with modern standards and a vision focused on the future.

Although the major renovation work has now been completed, we are still continuing with many smaller, yet equally important improvements for the well-being of our animals: new aviaries, the development of the pond area, improvements to the outdoor cat enclosures, enrichment spaces and many other day-to-day projects.

Our history

S.R.P.A. Veeweyde

The Royal Society for the Protection of Animals Veeweyde is one of the oldest animal protection societies in Belgium. Every day, we take in almost a thousand animals in our four reception centres in Brussels (Anderlecht), Tournai, Turnhout and Coutisse.

We take in an average of 50 dogs and cats a month, not forgetting rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters, who are also victims of abandonment. We look after them and try to find them families to adopt them.
