Athena

Mixed Breed · Female

Here I am, I am the beautiful Athena. I was taken in by our shelter, as living in a tiny space, without the ability to let off steam, I was unhappy... Perhaps that's why today, I have a huge need for physical activity. Running, jumping, playing— that's life! Today, everything is going well, I am a sweet dog who is rediscovering life and exploring many things at the shelter! I get along well with both humans and other dogs. I would be happy in a kind family with a lot of presence, in a house with a garden to play, run, and have fun! I will need to be well educated, and lots of love will be needed, and I will become your adorable companion for life... Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a dog:

Me voici, je suis la belle ATHENA. J'ai été recueillie par la Fondation car, vivant dans un endroit minuscule, sans pouvoir me défouler, j'étais malheureuse... C'est peut-être pour ça qu'aujourd'hui, j'ai énormément besoin de dépenses physiques. Courir, sauter, jouer, c'est la vie ! Aujourd'hui, tout va bien, je suis une gentille chienne qui reprend goût à la vie et qui découvre plein de choses au refuge ! Je m'entends bien avec les humains et les autres chiens. Je serais heureuse dans une famille bienveillante avec beaucoup de présence, dans une maison avec un jardin pour jouer, courir et faire la folle ! Il faudra bien m'éduquer, beaucoup m'aimer, et je deviendrai votre adorable compagne pour la vie...

About Athena

What life with Athena looks like

Athena 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 Athena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Athena?
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 Athena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Athena 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 Athena 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 Athena 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 Athena 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.
