Our ADT – Animal Disaster Team was recently called in by the Uccle police to help a young fox cub who had taken refuge in the parking lot of a local bank.
On arrival, our rescuers discovered a small fox cub in an alarming state: weak, alone, and visibly disorientated. This young fox, still too immature to survive on its own, had been wandering around for several days, unable to feed or protect itself. It was a heartbreaking sight.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Uccle/WB/Auderghem Police for having called on our services, which was crucial in saving the life of this precious little being. Their prompt action was decisive.
The fox cub is currently convalescing at the Perwez CREAVES, where he is receiving the best possible care. Soon he’ll be free again, ready to embrace nature’s vast expanses once more.

On Sunday evening, an unexpected situation mobilized our ADT – Animal Disaster Team. The Hesbaye Police Zone contacted us to intervene urgently with a stray Soay sheep that had been running loose on the public road for two days. The situation posed a real danger to itself but also to other road users.
Our teams were immediately on hand to capture the animal. However, this proved to be a real challenge, as the sheep was particularly agitated and difficult to approach due to its environment.
Faced with this delicate situation, a cautious and methodical approach was called for. After several minutes of sustained effort, our teams managed to encircle the animal and capture it in complete safety, thus avoiding any risk to itself or people in the vicinity.
Once under control, the sheep was treated with the utmost care. It was then returned safely to its owner, bringing the emergency to a successful conclusion.
We would like to thank the Hesbaye Police Zone for their collaboration.

Last night, an unprecedented rescue operation was carried out in Rochefort by the Animal Welfare Unit, in collaboration with ADT – Animal Disaster Team. Together, they rescued around 100 sheep in extreme distress, revealing the horror hidden behind the gates of a local breeding farm.
The conditions in which the sheep were found are scarcely imaginable. Crammed into cramped spaces, some were buried under mountains of manure, while others were forced to navigate through debris and excrement to get around a dark, inhospitable shed. Rescuers had to face these deplorable conditions to extract these poor animals, whose suffering was unbearable.
These sheep had received no proper care for years. Their wool was soiled and matted, their bodies infested with parasites, and their hooves so neglected that they were up to 15 centimeters long, making every movement extremely painful. Faced with this disastrous situation, it was imperative to act quickly.
The owner of the farm fled the premises before the authorities arrived, but he won’t be able to escape justice. Charges of animal abuse weigh heavily against him, and society will not tolerate such cruel acts against innocent living creatures.
Thirty of them have been entrusted to the Silence Animal Association, where they will receive the attentive care they so desperately need. The others have been distributed among several partner shelters such as Help Animals, Veeweyde Refuge du Marais, La petite Ferme de Belvie, Equi’chance, Le rêve dAby and Natur’Horses, where they will receive the love and attention they need to recover from their ordeals and regain their dignity.

Over the past two weekends, our team has had the enriching opportunity to participate in several significant events that have strengthened our collaborations with our partners.
We were honored to participate in the activities organized by the firefighters of the Val de Sambre rescue zone. We took this opportunity to present our animal rescue initiatives and discuss how we can best work together to save animals.
The week before, we joined the Equi-rêve team for their open day. We had the chance to share precious moments with the participants and help promote our relationship.
Finally, we took part in the 20 kilometers of Brussels. This initiative brought together runners committed to a noble cause: supporting ADT and its actions in favor of animals.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those who took part in these events and helped make each initiative a success.

The animal situation in the Walloon Brabant region is alarming. Recently, our ADT – Animal Disaster Team was dispatched to Perwez to carry out a seizure on behalf of the Walloon Region. What we found there was beyond what we could have imagined: animals kept in deplorable conditions, neglected and abused. Here’s an overview of what was found on site.
The case of the animals: we found a donkey locked in a bolted stall, its hooves neglected for years, evidence of prolonged suffering and neglect. Next to him, was a sheep whose fleece was so thick that it was impossible to feel its skin, the result of years of neglect and insufficient care. Goats, a horse, and chickens were all in unacceptable living conditions.
Faced with this animal tragedy, immediate action was required. All the animals were transferred to various shelters where they will receive the care they need to ensure their well-being.

The ADT – Animal Disaster Team was recently dispatched by the SRPA Liège to rescue three puppies abandoned on the outskirts of a farm. The situation was critical: the proximity of a main road and the multiplicity of potential exits posed an imminent danger.
Deploying all their expertise, our team members set up safety nets to enclose the area, preventing the puppies from ending up on the road. With infinite patience and great determination, we succeeded in capturing the three puppies.
Once secured, the puppies were safely transported to the Liège SRPA, where they were welcomed with love and care. Although thin and infested with parasites on arrival, we have since received comforting news that their health is improving daily.
