Recently, our team was called urgently to intervene following the sudden death of an exotic animal owner. This tragic event led to the discovery of four snakes and a tarantula that required immediate care.
As soon as we received the alert, our teams rushed to the scene to ensure the safety of both the animals and the people present. It is crucial to emphasize that managing such animals requires specialized skills and a respectful approach, both for the creatures themselves and their environment.
Thanks to a swift and professional intervention, we were able to secure the snakes and the tarantula without incident. Each species has its own specific needs and behaviors, so we took great care to handle each animal with the utmost caution. After their recovery, they were transferred to a specialized facility, perfectly suited to provide them with the appropriate care and living conditions.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to everyone involved in this operation. Their support and commitment were essential to ensure the well-being of these exotic animals during a difficult time.

Over the past two weeks, our volunteers have completed an intensive high-altitude rescue training, acquiring crucial skills to intervene in hard-to-reach situations such as trees, cliffs, or tall buildings.

This weekend, a critical situation mobilized our rescue team thanks to an alert from the Creaves de Ransart. A young duck was in serious trouble, with its beak caught on a hook!
In response to the urgency, an ADT team immediately headed to the scene. Once there, our rescuers had to enter the river to reach the duck and rescue it.
With the utmost caution, we carefully removed the fishing line and hook. This delicate action allowed us to free the young duck from its suffering.
After successfully releasing it, we took the duck and transferred it to a specialized care center. There, it will receive the necessary treatments to heal its injuries and regain full health.
We are delighted to have been able to help and to see this young duck recovering. A big thank you to everyone who made this rescue possible, and let’s remember the importance of not leaving waste, like fishing lines, in nature to prevent such situations.

Last Friday, a moment filled with respect and gratitude marked our ADT - Animal Disaster Team. We had the honor of participating in a special ceremony organized by the Mayor of Liège, Willy Demeyer, in tribute to all the responders involved in managing the tragic Kennedy Tower fire.
It was an emotional occasion to honor all those who dedicated their time, energy, and courage to face this crisis. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the responders. Their dedication and bravery were essential during these times of great distress.
A special thank you also goes to Mayor Willy Demeyer and his team for their warm welcome and recognition. Your support strengthens our determination to continue offering our assistance in emergency situations.
During this dramatic fire, our teams had the opportunity to play a crucial role by helping evacuate and transfer 24 animals. Their safety was our priority, and we are proud to have ensured their well-being during this ordeal.
This kind of recognition reminds us of the importance of our mission and motivates us to continue fully investing in our work. Thank you all for your support and for the courage you show every day.

The Braine-L'Alleud Police contacted our team regarding a roe deer hit by a vehicle, leaving the animal in shock with visible injuries to its eye and face.
Our specialists immediately responded to the call. They handled the roe deer with the utmost care, transporting it urgently to the Creaves de Perwez. This step was crucial to assess the extent of the injuries and begin the appropriate treatments. The transport was carried out under optimal conditions to minimize stress and pain for the animal.
After several days of treatment and recovery, we are pleased to announce that the roe deer is now in excellent condition. It has been released back into its natural habitat, ready to resume its wildlife. This success is the result of a collective effort and a passion for wildlife protection.

Recently, some of our volunteers had the opportunity to participate in an in-depth training on farm animals, a crucial initiative to enhance our ability to manage emergency situations involving distressed animals. This training aimed to equip our volunteers with the necessary skills to intervene effectively and safely.
At the heart of this training, our volunteers gained essential knowledge on various aspects of farm animals. The anatomy and behavior of different species were covered in depth, providing a solid understanding of each animal's specific needs. This knowledge base is vital for ensuring appropriate and respectful interventions that consider the animals' welfare.
One key focus of the training was learning safe handling techniques. With the safety of volunteers, bystanders, and the animals themselves as a priority, our trainers demonstrated effective methods for confidently managing animals. This included practices to avoid injuries and minimize stress for the animals.
A particularly hands-on aspect of the training was the creation of makeshift halters and harnesses. Using available materials, our volunteers learned to design temporary equipment to secure and transport distressed animals.
We would like to express our deep gratitude to Help Animals for their hospitality and support during this training.
