Christine’s Camino de Santiago Challenge for Phoenix, 2014. ..…one woman and her dog, fundraising for Phoenix. Christine Endres, Phoenix Membership Secretary, sets off THIS Sunday, 4th May! Christine is challenging herself to cycle from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela and back again. This is a total of 1600km. Christine won’t be travelling alone, however. She will be accompanied by her Phoenix rescue Ellie (one of our Phoenix Forever Friends) who will be travelling in style in her special DoggyRide trailer. The DoggyRide, when fully laden, weighs 55kg, plus the two panniers fitted to her bike, so Christine will be pulling quite a heavy load, which, especially in the Pyrenees, will be a challenge indeed! Christine and Ellie will have to camp as dogs are not welcome to stay in the Pilgrim "Albergues". However, many have gardens where she is hoping to pitch camp for the night. Together, they hope to raise €3000 for Phoenix, in order that we can help more animals like Ellie, who herself used to be one of the many unloved and abandoned dogs in France. You can follow the fearsome duo's progress via their blog: http://christinespilgrimage.blogspot.fr/p/home.html You can sponsor Christine and Ellie via their special page on our website: http://phoenixasso.com/?p=5919 Please sponsor Christine and Ellie generously. We would love for them to reach their target of raising €3000 for animals in need. Good luck to Christine & Ellie! Thank you, The Phoenix Team

PEPITO & CHIPPY - Phoenix Ponies Looking for Homes Pepito and Chippy are very sweet and easy going ponies, who are looking for a home where they can stay together. Pepito and Chippy have a long history of severe laminitis. They are both fine now and can gallop all around with the other horses and ponies but of course their diet has to be strictly followed. Pepito is a 20 year old gelding who worked for many years in a riding school. Chippy, a 10 year old mare, has never been educated but you can put a child on her back without a problem. They are both about 1.10 high and need a lot of affection! Both ponies have been microchipped. 250259806035267 Pepito 250259806035164 Chippy Please more photos and more details, please contact Patricia on baerloo@orange.fr or telephone 05 53 50 40 76 Thank You, The Phoenix Team www.phoenixasso.com www.facebook.com/PhoenixAssociationFrance

Lovely, thank you! Will wait to hear from you. Phoenix.

Hello. It's Phoenix here and we are responsible for many of the animal related postings. The reason in the upsurge since last year is that Phoenix at last has a PR team! We're sorry that some of you feel that this regional section is being taken over by us. It's not our intention at all. We don't choose this forum due to restrictions elsewhere either. Phoenix complies with the law on identification of animals, so we are also able to use forums such as AngloINFO (which are restrictive to animals without ID). We advertise in as many forums as we can out of necessity. We post in this regional section deliberately and this is, of course, to reach local people. There is no point someone in Alsace getting excited about adopting an animal, to find out that the animal is in the Dordogne. We don't want to be a pain, and so we'll ask the Administrator for advice. THANK YOU to all the very many of you who support Phoenix and our work. Please feel free to email Phoenix PR directly on publicrelations.phoenix@gmail.com Phoenix.

MISTY - 20 year old pony - home needed URGENTLY!! A kind and brave Phoenix team member, Jenny, was horrified to find out about a local shetland-type pony suffering from terrible neglect. Poor Misty had been found alone in a field with terrible curled up hooves. As she could hardly stand or walk, she spend most of her days just laying down, waiting for somebody to care. Thankfully, Phoenix and ASHA were called on for help, and meanwhile Jenny did an amazing job in negotiating delicately with Misty's owners for permission to treat Misty. A farrier was called out straight away and made Misty's life a little better by giving her hooves a good trim and issuing painkillers and medication. As Misty's owners are ill and incapable of doing anything for her, we are now URGENTLY looking for a new home (we have the owner's permission to release her) where she will have people to care for her (she does have laminitis) and with other equines to keep her company. Once bought as a pony for children, 20 year old Misty has been neglected for many years, but still has a very sweet temperament. Who can offer this courageous girl a loving forever home? Misty is in Pompadour, 87700. You will need to arrange transport to collect her please. Please contact Patricia on 05 53 50 40 76 or email baerloo@orange.fr Thank you Phoenix www.phoenixasso.comwww.facebook.com/PhoenixAssociationFrance
