ADOPTION

Countless thousands of unwanted animals are abandoned each year in France alone. Many of these will die of starvation or injury, or be killed on the roads. The vast majority of those who find themselves in official ‘refuges’ will be euthanised for the simple reason that supply well outweighs demand. While people continue to insist on buying puppies from breeders, this pitiful waste is unavoidable. If you are thinking of giving a home to an animal, please pluck up courage and go to your local shelter. Your new friend may demand a bit more patience, but you will be rewarded over and over again.

ADOPTION POLICY: We have no fixed tariff for adoption but a financial contribution to cover the costs incurred in preparing an animal for adoption is usually necessary. Where appropriate, the animal will be tattooed or microchipped, vaccinated and sterilised. Animals adopted from the SPA, with our help, are subject to the SPA's current tariffs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are looking for something specific. We can nearly always get you what you want, given a little time!

PUPPIES!!!!!!!!

All Phoenix puppies are genuine rescue cases. All are `accidents`. Many have been dumped or orphaned and some have had to be bottle-raised.

If the mother has reared the pups, we insist that she is sterilised shortly after.

We currently have litters of Belgian Shepherd X German Shepherd and Beauceron X pups available.
Contact us for further details.

With MR CHIPS, what you see is what you get...a no nonsense, happy-go-lucky `doggy` dog!
(Though here he`s giving you his soulful look!)
He`s a 3yr-old mixed-breed, and your guess is as good as mine - probably Griffon Kortal or Rough-coated German Pointer....plus a bit of Lab perhaps?
Not to worry. He`s a lovable `mutt`, who is playful and friendly with other dogs, (chases cats, but can probably be trained) and is brilliant with kids. He`s presumably had little education in his life, but is bright and willing and `learning the ropes` in his foster home.
A big softie, we can somehow see him as the constant companion of some Huckleberry Finn-type lad (or lass).

Ahhhh....good old Mr Chips!!

Chipped, vaccinated and neutered.

Beautiful BARLEY is one of thousands of hunting dogs which are dumped at the end of the hunting season.

She`s a 3yr-old Bleu de Gascogne, with the calm and gentle nature that`s typical of the breed.
It`s always amazed us that these `chiens courants` - descended from the noble Bloodhound - are so kind, loving and laid-back.
Look at those gorgeous soulful eyes!
Barley is a bit timid, but is currently enjoying TLC and home comforts such as she`s never known (ex-hunting dogs notoriously take like ducks to water to `the good life`!)

She`s fine in house and car, no problem with cats, dogs and other animals and would fit in beautifully to a calm, quiet household.
Although she`s not a dog to run away - she makes no attempt to run off when the gate gets left open at her foster home - a fenced garden would be essential until she was settled and bonded.

Barley is chipped, neutered and vaccinated.

It`s been difficult to get really good photos in the bright sun we`ve had recently, but here are some pics of GINO, a smallish (15kg), year-old Border Collie X that stole our hearts from behind the bars at the local pound!
He`s a fabulous chap - sensitive, slightly nervous of new things, but soon takes them in his stride.
His carer says he`s never had such a good and obedient dog at shared mealtimes! And his intelligence and eagerness to learn extend to everything else.
He`s clean in the house, has brilliant recall off the lead, sits and will lie down, Collie-style, on command.
He`s afraid of cats at close quarters and though he may well chase them if they run, he`s basically a very gentle and affectionate dog.

He adores playing with other dogs - that`s his big love....
....apart from the love for his owner, to whom he will be devoted!
Still little more than a puppy, he`s going to be a really great and easily-trainable family friend.

Chipped, vaccinated and neutered...a first-class obedience and agility dog in the making.

BASIL was on death-row at the SPA due to overcrowding, but he`s such a sweet and affectionate chap, we couldn`t possibly leave him to his sad fate.
He`s a 4yr-old Fox Terrier X, with a handsome tan and white, semi-rough coat.
Ball-games are what Baz likes best, and he`s a typical terrier - game for anything!
He`s fiesty, but has his soft side and is happy and sociable.
Loyal, he`s very much a `people-dog` and would probably be happiest as the only companion animal in the family.

Fine in the house, fine in the car...what more can we say?....he`s a friendly, fun-loving Fox Terrier!
Chipped, vaccinated and neutered.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
DAKAR was found rail-thin and exhausted. He may well have been homeless for some time as he had been seen wandering up and down the same 10km stretch of road for several days.
He`s slowly putting on weight, but it will take time and TLC for him look his best.

He`s a 1+yr Pointer X Great Dane, gentle, slightly timid and playful....just a baby, really, but a big baby!
He loves all other dogs and is brilliant with children and people in general.
He travels well, walks without pulling on the lead, is clean in the house and can be left alone without a problem, though it would be nice to think that he had the company of canine friends in his new home.
He`s intrigued by cats, and although he`d probably give chase, he`s unlikely to harm them.

Dakar is chipped, vaccinated and neutered.

This young fellow is BUTTONS, a very cuddly tabby boy (castrated of course!)

He`s happy indoors, but just as happy living outside, where he`s a real hunter.....if anyone wants a `mouser` who`s also hot on cuddles, then this is cat for you!
Buttons is used to living with other cats, dogs, horses, kids - and for further details, please contact Carina Penny 05 53 36 78 23

Anyone like gingers? Take your pick - we`ve got loads!.............
....here are some of them.
Lying about....it`s all right for some.
And how about these for `double-trouble`!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
This truly lovely and friendly cat we`ve christened PRINCESS. She was found with her babies, miaowing with hunger in an empty property.
Mum and babies are now safely installed in foster-care, where PRINCESS is proving to be a real star! - affectionate and demonstrative...as well as a good mother.
And her babies?....ginger, of course!!!!
The babies will be ready for adoption in a few weeks time, and Princess shortly afterwards, when she`s been sterilised.
