Two distinct missions at the same site
Founded in 1966, Association de Sauvegarde et Protection des Animaux de Bergerac is independent and belongs to the Confédération Nationale Défense de l’Animal. Its official introduction distinguishes the adoption refuge from the fourrière, the stray-animal service. Reuniting an animal with their original household and finding a new family are different processes.
Talk to the people who know the animals
The kennel and cattery team provides care and knows the resident animals. Use your meeting to discuss your routine, time away from home and other animals in the household. Volunteers can offer information, but reception approves adoptions. For a lost or found animal, reception also directs you to the appropriate service.
Prepare the paperwork and home visit
The adoption requirements include valid identification and a certificat d’engagement et de connaissance, the commitment and knowledge certificate. Adopters from outside Dordogne also need proof of address less than three months old. The refuge conducts home visits before dog adoptions. If an animal is too young for sterilisation, the adopter undertakes to return to the refuge when surgery can take place.
Supported volunteering inside and beyond the refuge
Walking dogs, spending time with cats and collecting food or litter are practical ways to help. The volunteer charter provides for a short introduction led by experienced volunteers. Applicants must be adult association members and provide documents including liability insurance. Educational activities also reach schools and retirement homes, taking animal-welfare work beyond the refuge itself.
A temporary household for more vulnerable animals
Foster homes offer another option for residents who are very young, elderly or stressed by refuge life. A home visit checks the proposed accommodation. Adoption remains the goal: fostering means supporting an animal towards a future family, including the eventual goodbye. Discussing that temporary role with everyone in the household helps establish a shared understanding of the commitment.
