A Nogent-le-Phaye (Eure-et-Loir), near Chartres, The den is a concept of refuge visitable, accommodating animals (domestic or wild) mainly resulting from seizures.
But, deprived of opening to the public for nearly a year due to the health crisis linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, today he is launching a exceptional appeal to generosity of the public in order to overcome this crisis.
Animals damaged by life
This location unique in France, collects and repairs animals damaged by life and by man and needs the support of the greatest number.

At a time when the world is changing and new laws in favor of animal wellbeing emerging, this Noah’s Ark which appeals to all stakeholders (individuals, State services, traveling circuses, pharmaceutical laboratories, etc.), “provides everyone with a suitable and lasting solution to offer a second life to all these animals resulting from trafficking , abandoned, retired from the world of entertainment or research protocols ”.
Together we can act. Today we have an extraordinary opportunity that awaits us, a window of opportunity that has opened and may not come again. Our leaders, the government and all elected officials have for the first time taken the subject of animal welfare head-to-head and this file is now in working order.
“The investment of a lifetime of hard work is no longer enough”
An evolution which “fills us with hope and we intend to continue to bring all our energy to the development of this collective awareness and to the success of this new stage” underlines Patrick Violas.
However, the period we are going through is extremely complex for all economic players, especially those who need visitors.
The investment of a lifetime of hard work is no longer enough and for that we need help, help from everyone, your help, ”he explains. The task is enormous and the daily demands for the rescue of animals keep increasing. The situations that we discover every day are sometimes impossible to describe, all different, all with their share of (bad) surprises but our work has only one common goal: the next day of these animals who like us do not return no box.
–The rescue and welfare of these proteges is the top priority for the entire team of enthusiasts who work seven days a week in the field.
“There is no question of partial unemployment here: nutrition, veterinary care, enrichment, bio-medical training…, all are mobilized and remain in place to provide the essentials for their rehabilitation”, he continues.
From 15 to 20,000 € operating cost each day
–All these expenses should have been covered by ticket sales entry, without forgetting all the related activities (souvenir shop, catering …) but, until now deprived of the sources of income necessary for the operation of the site (15 to 20,000 € per day), not falling into any box (no 2019 turnover, a status that did not exist until then …) and has not received any state aid for the moment, ” we won’t be able to continue like this for long ».
So if, like us, you are sensitive and you care about animal welfare, help us continue to turn our words into concrete actions. This cause is our cause to all, our responsibility to all. Who has never cracked seeing the images of a fawn baby on television or in the cinema? Who has never seen an animal show, watched the Piste aux étoiles? Who has never taken a drug developed and tested in a laboratory? We are 67 million in France and for the most part aware of all this. We are all responsible.
Tax-exempt donations
–“With your help, we hope to overcome this health crisis and be there tomorrow when the world will restart. Whatever your possibilities, all your donations will be vitalwhether they are a few euros or more if you can ”.
All the assistance that can be provided is in fact tax-exempt up to 66% for individuals depending on your situation and 60% for businesses of all sizes.
“Every penny will go to this cause”.
–To allow us to continue our action and be present when animals need us and there are no other solutions for them. With you by our side, we are ready to take on any challenge and move mountains. Getting involved alongside La Tanière means teaching our children to respect the animal world. At least let’s pass that on to them.
