FOSTER CARERS

Think you might like to foster?

Here are a few of your questions answered.

YOU WILL NEED:

• For dogs, ideally to live within one and a half hours of Bergerac or Périgueux.

• A fully-fenced, secure garden (for dogs)

• To be around most of the time. The principle is that you look after the animal until it is re-homed. This could take a week, or several months. A year is rare, but it can happen.

• To be willing to take the animal to one of the Phoenix vets for sterilisation, vaccination etc. (all costs are covered by Phoenix)

• To be able to assess not only the animal, but also potential adopters. The adoption normally takes place at your home, so you will have to welcome people, fill in forms and take adoption fees, which you return with the re-homing form by mail to the treasurer.

• Be prepared to take your ‘fosterling’ back if it doesn’t work out.

• To have plenty of love, understanding and infinite patience in your dealings with both animals AND people!

YOU WILL RECEIVE:

• Your main expenses paid. We provide you with claims forms, to be returned monthly for animal-related food and other items. Vet bills must be approved by the treasurer and are paid directly to the veterinary practice by Phoenix.

• The satisfaction of saving lives. But be prepared – it’s hard when your foster friend leaves for their new life, especially if they have been with you for months. You’ll need a stiff upper-lip!

SPONSOR AN ANIMAL

If you are unable to foster or take on a new friend, please consider donating a monthly amount, however small, to help with the needs of a particular animal. Please contact our Treasurer at treasury.phoenix@gmail.com or donate directly through our HelloAsso page, thank you.

HELP WITH THE BOOK FAIR

Our biggest fundraising group is the Phoenix book fair team. Every year these amazing people put together two big book fairs to raise money for Phoenix. The funds raised go a long way to pay for animals in Phoenix care

FUNDRAISING

Supporters raise money for us in many ways and we are extremely grateful for their efforts. Contributions, no matter how small, help enormously to change the life of one or more neglected animals. We encourage our supporters to hold their own events in order to raise funds for Phoenix. We will help to publicise these by sharing details of events on our website and Facebook page.

Perhaps you would like to help, but not sure how?

Here are some suggestions of events that you could organise:

• Coffee Morning and cake sale

• Book Sale

• Quiz Evening

• Fancy Dress Party

• Sponsored run/cycle/walk/swim/weight loss

• Auction/Karaoke/Bingo Night
