The refuge…
Founded on the 28th of November 1968, the SPAN first welcomed animals in its refuge situated at Côte Rôtie in Prangins.
The SPAN became the SPA Nyon La Côte after the construction of the Asse Refuge in 1971.
The buildings are owned by the Foundation of the SPA La Côte. The refuge is run by a a team of five full time employees and two apprentices. They welcome vistors, clients and most importantly provide for the animals in their care.
The animals are looked after seven days a week, 365 days of the year…
