To adopt an animal at Veeweyde, you must be over 18 years old and live in Belgium. In addition, a third party cannot adopt an animal in place of someone who will be its true owner. The animal must be domiciled in the same place as its owner.
An adoption contract will be established between our association and the adopter who will undertake to respect all of its clauses.
For more information, please contact our adoption department on 02/527.10.50 or via info@veeweyde.be.
We have on average around fifty dogs at the shelter who are all waiting to find a new family. Some wait months, patiently, for a face to lean in front of their kennel to adopt them. Others, luckier, sometimes only wait a few days.
During your first telephone contact with our adoption team, a questionnaire will be submitted to you so that we can evaluate your future adoption. The answers should give us an idea of the daily life that will be experienced by the dog once installed in its new home.
The form contains questions such as: “do you often go on vacation, have you ever had animals, are there any allergies in your surroundings, do you live in a house or apartment, with a garden or not? »… These few questions will allow us to see, together, with the future owner of the animal, which breed will suit him best. It is also possible that our inspection teams will ask to carry out a pre-inspection at the home of the person concerned, in order to check the places where the dog will live. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption if we believe that the well-being of the animal will not be respected.
You can then go to the shelter, by appointment, to visit our residents. If there is one you like, you can get to know them in one of our enclosed gardens provided for this purpose. So that you can let him approach and frolic as he pleases. If you have decided to take the plunge, alert our animal handler and reception.
– If it is a found dog, we may ask you to wait a few days before it becomes adoptable. In fact, owners of a lost dog have 15 days within which they can recover their animal from the shelter. This deadline is provided by law. It happens that a lost dog is truly abandoned and its owners have no intention of coming to look for it. In this case, the animal becomes adoptable on the 16th day after its admission to our establishment.
– If it is a dog seized by the police, it is not adoptable until further notice.
– If it is a donated dog and is in good health, it can be adopted immediately.
All our residents are:
– vaccinated
– sterilized
– identified by electronic chip
Price :
To adopt a dog from us, we ask you for a financial contribution to veterinary costs (vaccinations, microchip, dewormer, etc.) and administrative costs of around €113 for a male (€188 if compulsory castration depending on the breed) and 238€ for a female (sterilization always obligatory).
The price may vary depending on various criteria, such as its age, vaccination status and related veterinary costs.
Our shelter in Brussels is equipped to accommodate 120 cats on average. We have two catteries, one for cats found and placed for observation, and the other for adoptable and healthy cats. Two nurseries complete our reception structure for cats: one, separate, for kittens, the other for sick or injured cats, and which require sustained veterinary care.
After presenting yourself at reception, you can go visit the cats in the cattery. Take the time you need to get to know them, approach them, and be accepted. They are all very nice, and are between 6 months old for the youngest, and 12 years old for the oldest.
– If it is a found cat, it is placed under observation, a period which can extend for several weeks. Owners have 15 days within which they can collect their animal from the shelter. This deadline is provided for by law.
– If it is a cat seized by the police, it is not adoptable until further notice.
– If it is a donated cat that is in good health, it can be adopted immediately.
Price :
To adopt a cat from us, we ask you for a financial contribution of around €78 for a male and €123 for a female.
Spaying is more expensive than castration, which explains the difference. These prices therefore include castration/sterilization, microchip and basic vaccines. They can vary according to various criteria, such as the age of the animal, its vaccination status and the related veterinary costs.
All our cats are:
– vaccinated.
– sterilized.
– carrying an electronic chip allowing them to be identified. For more information, please contact our adoption department on 02/527.10.50.
We regularly collect rabbits, hamsters or guinea pigs found or entrusted to us at the shelter.
You can visit them by appointment made in advance with our adoption department at 02/527.10.50, Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Price: To adopt a rabbit or any other NAC such as hamster, guinea pig, ferret, we ask for a contribution to the costs of 18 euros. This price includes the contribution to our association which amounts to 13 euros, and the animal for which we ask 5 euros.
Our rodents for adoption are neither vaccinated nor sterilized. We do not place males and females together, this of course to avoid their reproduction.
For more information, please contact our adoption department on 02/527.10.50.
