Abuelita

Mixed Breed · Female

Abuelita is an adorable dog seeking a forever home. She can thrive in a house with a yard or without, as long as she receives attention and companionship. Her upbringing is still in progress, but her sweetness and kindness towards humans make her a very endearing companion. She has a calm temperament, but knows how to be playful when the occasion arises. She is not particularly timid, but remains sensitive: cats impress her greatly, even though she does no harm to them. On the other hand, she enjoys the company of other dogs. However, cohabitation with poultry should be avoided. Abuelita is still discovering the world around her. She dreams of the warmth of a home, the happiness of shared moments, and the tenderness of a loving family. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Dog:

ABUELITA est une adorable chienne en quête de sa famille pour la vie. Elle aura besoin de balades régulières, de présence et d'attention. Son éducation est encore à consolider, mais sa douceur et sa gentillesse envers les humains en font une compagne très attachante. D'un tempérament calme, elle sait aussi se montrer joueuse quand le moment s'y prête. Elle n'est pas particulièrement craintive, mais reste sensible : les chats l'impressionnent beaucoup, même si elle ne leur fait aucun mal. En revanche, elle apprécie la compagnie des chiens. Attention toutefois, la cohabitation avec des volailles est à éviter. ABUELITA découvre encore le monde qui l'entoure. Elle rêve de connaître la chaleur d'un foyer, le bonheur des moments partagés et la tendresse d'une famille aimante.

About Abuelita

What life with Abuelita looks like

Abuelita is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fondation Brigitte Bardot in Paris.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Abuelita, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Abuelita?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fondation Brigitte Bardot handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Abuelita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Abuelita if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fondation Brigitte Bardot will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Abuelita already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Abuelita isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Fondation Brigitte Bardot early rather than rehoming privately; they know Abuelita and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
