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.
