Vivre Libre is an animal welfare association based in Bonnet, in France’s Meuse department. Its mission is to protect and care for abandoned dogs and cats, providing them with food and support while they wait for a new home. The association works to match each animal with an adoptive family able to offer a stable, caring life.

Adoption is presented as an act of love and an opportunity to help an animal regain a sense of security and well-being. Before placement, the dogs and cats are identified with microchips and vaccinated; all are also sterilised to support their health and help prevent uncontrolled breeding that can contribute to further abandonment. Vivre Libre’s website provides information about the association and its volunteers, as well as ways to get involved through sponsorship, fostering, travel assistance, and donations.

By combining practical animal care with adoption and community support, Vivre Libre seeks lasting homes for the animals in its care
