"Jadopte.be" was launched on Friday 5 April, at the initiative of Walloon Minister of Animal Welfare Carlo Di Antonio, and the Walloon Animal Protection Union (UWPA). This platform will allow both individuals and shelters to put their animals up for adoption and find them a new family. 

There are currently more than 90 approved refuges in Wallonia; the aim of the portal is to promote adoptions in these locations and thus give animals of all types, ages and characters the chance to find a home. 

Since 1 June 2017, advertising that markets any animal species may only appear in a specialised magazine or on a specialised website. To respect the regulations, "Jadopte.be" is accessible to both shelters and individuals, allowing them to put their animals up for adoption in a totally legal manner. 

The portal accepts all pets authorised in Wallonia. Dogs, cats, horses, birds... and even pigs, can be adopted! All advertisements will be verified and must comply with the regulations on the identification, registration, traceability and sterilisation of animals. 

Fact sheets are also available on the site to give advice to prospective adopters before their companion arrives or simply so they can find out about each species put up for adoption.
