Rose is sweet natured, good with the other dogs, kind and gentle. She has been brought back to life and naturally has a loving temperament.
Found in the woods by a passer by, pregnant, heartbreaking she lost her pups and is now fostering two little orphans.
She's learnt to be clean in house and not jump up for food and needs gentle people with some hound experience, although she doesn't have a strong hunting drive and just wants to stick close to home.
A special dog who has stolen our hearts, Rose has been living with dogs and children and is playful and affectionate. She is now ready and looking for a Christmas fireplace to lie by in her long term loving home.

This little dynamo isn't just super affectionate, she's surprisingly brave. Following a suspected abandonment with a sibling (found dead close by), she made her way to one of our fosterer's garages for shelter. Found the next morning crying for food, she quickly adapted to living with her initial fosterer and the family (including other cats and children). Now with a new fosterer, she's adapted quickly because she is very sociable and intelligent. She's smaller than you'd expect for her age so seems really kitteny, particularly because she loves playing, headrubs and generally to be around people and other animals.

Buzz is super cuddly and loving as well as being a beautiful, butch boy.
He is a wobbly cat (which can happen when kittens are malnourished at birth), however, he is not in pain but is not steady in their back legs. Buzz is now strong and has 90 % normal mobility. We are looking a family that is aware of their disability.

Vichy was born to a house cat who has now been sterilised. Due to some sad circumstances, Vichy is now with us. We are looking for a family with another cat for Vichy as she doesn't like being alone without a friend to be with. She is a bit reserved to start with but not for long...she is a typical kitten. Playful and cuddly but on the calmer side. She is visible in Bergerac

This pretty and affectionate girl was adopted from Phoenix a couple of years ago and has been a well-loved cat. She adores her indoor comforts, but enjoys surveying her outdoor territory as well. Sadly however, due to circumstances beyond her control, her owner can’t look after her anymore and is forced to rehome her.
Babou’s a very loving, cuddly cat, who just wants to curl up on your lap! Though she is also an excellent ‘mouser’!! Not wanting to share her beloved human, she dislikes other cats and is nervous of dogs, so she should go to a cat-free home and patience will be needed if introducing her to a dog.
Babou is healthy and is microchipped and sterilised. As Phoenix has incurred no current costs, she is free to a loving home. We’re praying a kindly soul will offer to take her in soon, because her current situation is precarious.
BALOO
SEX Male
AGE 4 years

AREA Bellac
Contact: Christie
Email: christie@pawprintasso.com
The vet has estimated Baloo is around 4 years old. He is a 6.5kg male who was sterilised by the SPA. He was first vaccinated and microchipped to Phoenix under the name Vagabond but this wasn't appealing so we have nicknamed him Baloo (after the bear in Jungle Book) while searching for a home for him. He is a big lad and needs to lose a bit of weight, but is one of the most affectionate cats we've come across in a while and will make a great pet. He lived on the street but was savvy enough to hang around the local restaurants so is certainly not wasting away! He is a super sociable and affectionate chap, a delight to have around and very entertaining.He is FIV positive but in very good condition, so would make a great housecat for someone.

Isis, as we’re calling her, turned up as an un-identified and ravenous stray and has been taken into foster care. She had obviously been fending for herself for some time. Despite extensive advertising she hasn’t been claimed, which is strange, as she’s obviously been well-loved.
This beautiful girl is calm – though she’s not much more than a kitten and still has her playful ‘kitten moments’ – extremely affectionate and loves to be picked up and cuddled. Unlike a lot of Siamese-types, she’s not very vocal and has a quiet miaow.
She’s happy to be both indoors, where she is scrupulous at using her litter tray, and outdoors, never going too far from the house and coming to call (amazing how quickly a cat can learn a new name!) She also travels well in a cat carrier – completely relaxed and quiet.
There are no dogs or other cats in her current foster home, so unfortunately we can’t know whether she’s used to them or not.
Isis is in excellent health. She is now chipped, vaccinated, wormed and sterilised and ready for a permanent home. She would like nothing better than to be snuggled up with you by a cosy fire as the winter approaches!

HushHush is a sweet, quiet girl who is a little shy with people initially but is now coming out of her shell (with the help of her sisters Snickers and Caramel). She would make a lovely companion, however having another cat in the home will be very important for her progression into the wonderful cat she will become.

Toffee is a sweet, affectionate cat that would make a wonderful companion. Unfortunately, she also suffers from vestibular syndrome. This means that her head is tilted leading her to loose balanced when she walks. She is also partially deaf, which doesn't affect her greatly but does result in her having difficulty knowing where sound comes from. As she's still very young, she is having difficulty acclimatising to her handicap, however she is very brave, kind and cuddly and we are sure she will adapt well.
Because of her handicap, she will need the presence of another cat, one of her brothers or sisters would be ideal. She loves to curl up in our legs after playing. She will need a calm, serene environment and lots of gentleness and patience.

Gojo is one of an unwanted litter born to a Malinois/German Shepherd X. We suspect his father is an Australian Shepherd, living close-by.
This little lad is outward-going and affectionate. He’s curious about everything and loves nothing better than a good romp, but true to his Shepherd breeding, he’s obedient and faithful, keeping close to his beloved ‘human’.
His foster career, Alexa, has a house-full of animals, so Gojo is well-socialised and gets on with cats, other dogs, poultry and a variety of other creatures, great and small (including children!)
Microchipped, vaccinated and treated for internal and external parasites, Gojo is ready for adoption and will make a perfect all round Family Friend! Phoenix has sterilised the mother, so there can be no more repeat performances……

These two youngsters have been in foster care since birth, so are very well-behaved and gentle.
They can be rehomed together or alone, and are happy with dogs, cats, chickens and love people. They are used to regular walks and, like most hunting dogs, they need a securely fenced-in area so that they can remain active - these two are no couch potatoes!
Typical grand griffon vendéen's, they have a quiet, docile demeanor so will make excellent companions and house dogs. Wormed and in good health, Tequila is the smaller of the two (15 kg), whereas Mushroom is 18kg. Adopted 2024

Toby is a typical terrier with all the characteristics associated with this breed. He won't be able to live with either cats or chickens.
He is a pocket rocket who adores his walks, the more he has the happier he is and would probably love doing agility.
It is essential that he has a totally secure garden or he will escape.
He is super affectionate, very loyal and always ready for a cuddle and he loves to go everywhere with you. He travels well in the car and is totally clean in the house. Adopted 2024
Ella
Beautiful Ella came to Phoenix after her owner died and she was left chained day and night at an empty property.
Ella is a gorgeous Labrador/Pointer cross aged 10 yrs. She is chipped, vaccinated and, we assume, sterilised although it's not been possible to confirm that yet.
Ella is a faultless dog. She is fit, active, calm, sociable, well mannered, clean in the house, good in the car, good with other dogs and hasn't looked at the cats. If you are looking for a problem free dog to adopt, she's your girl! Despite her age, she is agile and will jump a fence, but she is surrounded by other dogs here she hasn't so much as glanced over the fence. A home with other dogs would be preferred but she is also used to living alone. She has clearly been beautifully cared for and much loved. Adopted 2024

These two cuties came to Phoenix Association when they were just over a week with their beautiful, long-haired mother (Bluebell). They are very healthy and already have their little personalities shining through. The grey and white kitten (Indigo) is a male and is quite pushy when feeding, whereas little Violette is a gentle, composed girlie. It is very likely that they will have their mums, long but very manageable fur and exceptionally affectionate personality.
Herone (pensioner)
Herone is an exceptionally gentle dog. He loves walks followed by a nap on the sofa and adores his cuddles. He is used to living in a house and is well-behaved. He is very helpful, clearing up any leftover food that might be loitering in the kitchen though!! He is used to the noises of town life. He would prefer not to be left on his own for long periods of time. As he gets on with other dogs who are prepared to respect his space, another dog in the home may help with this and he is fine with cats.
Happy news - herone has now found his family and is enjoying his new life with them. Well done Herone!
