A new law to fight against overpopulation cats Bahia, the survivor The pretty Bahia, a nice 8-month-old female German Shepherd, had been dropped off at the shelter at the beginning of April after being found wandering in Brussels. We immediately detected on his arrival an anomaly in the left hind leg. Et en effet, Bahia souffrait d’une fracture du fémur survenue alors qu’elle était très jeune – un accident de voiture, sans doute, parce qu’elle en a peur - et devait obligatoirement être opérée. Une opération estimée à 5.000 euros et qui ne facilitait pas son adoption. C’est alors que Claude, un visiteur, l’a aperçue dans sa niche et a tout de suite été conquis par sa jolie tête et sa douceur. En accord avec notre service adoption et nos vétérinaires, il a décidé de l’emmener vivre avec lui et d’entreprendre toutes les démarches nécessaires pour la faire opérer et pour qu’elle puisse guérir de son handicap avec une prothèse de la hanche. Bahia a alors été prise en charge par le centre hospitalier vétérinaire de Fregis, à Paris, où elle a été opérée avec succès le 22 mai ! Inside Bahia's thigh, there was a lot of bone damage, calcifications and inflammation and the surgeon did not dare to comment ... Bahia was cuddled and so well cared for during her revalidation that she is now totally healed! We have no words to express our gratitude in the face of so much generosity on the part of this adopter who did not hesitate for a single second to come to the aid of this dog in distress. From the whole Veeweyde team, again THANKS! Our shelter intervenes to save 18 dogs, including 8 puppies We intervened in Haren following the seizure by the police of 18 dogs and 65 sheep kept on land located rue de Woluwe-Saint-Etienne. If the 65 sheep were taken care of by various associations, we took the 18 dogs under our wing at the Brussels refuge. Five Anatolian shepherds and 13 border collies, including 8 puppies only a few weeks old, were able to be sheltered, cared for and fed in our kennels from 7 p.m. on Saturday, under the watchful eye of our veterinarians and animal keepers. The little puppies sleep a lot, which is normal given their very young age, and their mothers are doing well. This is an opportunity to remind everyone that in such a situation, animals are not adoptable! This is an administrative seizure and we have no decision-making power in the matter. We are there to provide them with shelter and treat them while awaiting a court decision. We will keep you posted as the situation evolves
