An independent refuge supported by its community
The SPA de Saverne et environs takes in abandoned, mistreated or stray dogs and cats. Entirely independent, it relies on members and donors to help fund animal care. The refuge itself is only one part of that work: some animals need temporary homes, while some cats cannot be placed as household companions.
Submit the questionnaire before arranging a meeting
The adoption process starts with the relevant species questionnaire and reading the commitment certificate at least seven days before adoption. Send dog applications to gestionchiens@spasaverne67.org and cat applications to gestionchats@spasaverne67.org. The team reviews requests before offering appointments. For dogs, it prioritizes residents of the department and recommends a maximum distance of 120–150 km from the refuge.
Prepare for meetings and the journey home
Several visits are encouraged to get to know a dog in different situations. Dogs must leave with a suitable lead and harness, which the refuge can supply for an additional charge if needed. Cats may be met at the refuge or in foster homes; bring a carrier. When listed veterinary procedures remain outstanding for a cat, the adopter receives a veterinary voucher.
Foster nearby with a clear division of costs
Foster families help older, sick or fearful animals, orphaned kittens and mothers with litters. They need somewhere to separate the new arrival initially. The family pays for food and everyday upkeep, while the refuge covers veterinary costs with the practitioner agreed in the fostering contract. Living near Saverne makes this follow-up easier.
Offer land or support an animal through sponsorship
Cats that cannot be socialized are usually sterilized and returned to their original territory. When that is impossible, the association seeks suitable land, including farms or other properties, in agreement with their owners. Sponsorship provides another way to help: its duration is flexible, and another animal can be proposed when the sponsored cat or dog is adopted.
