A foster network, not a shelter open for visits
Founded on 29 June 2014, Bisca’Refuge takes in stray, abandoned or mistreated dogs and cats. Its foster families live in places including Biscarrosse, Sanguinet, Parentis and La Teste. The association’s introduction explains that it has no premises: animals stay in volunteers’ homes until adoption. By 1 January 2026, it reported having cared for 2,214 animals since its foundation.
Preparing animals for a new home
Animals receive necessary treatment, identification and sterilization before adoption. If an animal is too young for sterilization, the adopter signs a commitment to have it done. A foster placement also provides time to help an animal regain confidence. To explore adoption, contact the team to discuss the dog or cat and arrange a meeting with the family currently providing its care.
Fostering includes meetings and veterinary appointments
The fostering page sets out two practical responsibilities: welcoming prospective adopters into your home and taking the animal to veterinary appointments for vaccinations, treatment or sterilization. The association pays veterinary expenses. Placements continue until adoption, so discuss your availability and the time an animal may need to settle and feel secure before making that commitment.
A found animal follows a different route
Bisca’Refuge says it prioritizes animals leaving the pound. For an animal found outside, its contact page directs readers to the Fourrière des Grands Lacs on 07 69 24 22 10 or the relevant municipal police. This route is separate from asking the association about adopting one of the animals in its care.
Support everyday care and the future shelter
As described on the website in September 2026, the intermunicipal shelter project includes separate puppy and kitten nurseries, dog and cat accommodation, and an infirmary. These buildings remain a fundraising objective. Other support includes membership, helping at events and contributing through the official donation options, which include Teaming.
