A Walloon association founded in 1972
Sans Collier has worked for dogs and cats in Wallonia since 1972. Its refuges receive abandoned, stray and mistreated animals, providing accommodation, care and socialisation before suitable rehoming. The organisation describes an approach that considers animals across ages, breeds and behavioural backgrounds, with individual needs shaping their care.
Responding beyond the refuge gates
The animal-welfare service receives reports of cruelty and neglect and works on cases involving animals at risk. Regular trapping and sterilisation campaigns address cat overpopulation. These activities extend the association’s role beyond caring for animals already inside a refuge, connecting rescue with the conditions in which animals live across the surrounding community.
A place for practical professional learning
Veterinary and animal-care students undertake placements in the refuges. The experience introduces them to practical care and the role shelters play in animal welfare. This educational function sits alongside the everyday work of staff and volunteers, allowing students to encounter the needs of animals with different histories rather than only classroom examples.
Education and social participation
Sans Collier organises talks, workshops, animal-assisted activities and educational visits for young people. It also works with social-inclusion programmes involving young people disengaged from education, people serving alternative sentences and people with disabilities. These activities use participation in animal-related work as a route into learning and community involvement, while advocacy addresses wider welfare protections.
Two locations with different access
The association gives its public contact address in Perwez and explicitly states that the specialist refuge in Chastre is not open to the public. That distinction matters when arranging a visit or discussing adoption. Its official mission and contact information help readers choose an appropriate way to support, volunteer or enquire without confusing the functions of the two sites.
