Athena

Mixed Breed · Female

I am Athena. I used to live with a gentleman, but for some reason, he forgot about me when he moved. I was left all alone, not understanding what was happening, hungry... Until the Foundation came to rescue me, thankfully! At the shelter, I regained my strength and revealed my adorable and human-like personality. I am a quick learner, clean, and very gentle. However, I should be the only animal in the household, and I could befriend dogs on walks. I could also live with respectful children. I am suitable for both apartment and house life, and I would happily join you in all your activities. Come meet me soon. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a dog:

Je m'appelle ATHENA. Je vivais avec un monsieur mais, allez savoir pourquoi, il m'a oubliée lorsqu'il a déménagé. Je suis restée toute seule, ne comprenant rien à ce qui se passait, affamée... Jusqu'à ce que la Fondation me récupère, heureusement ! Au refuge, j'ai repris du poil de la bête et révélé mon caractère adorable et proche de l'humain. Je suis une chienne qui apprend vite, je suis propre et très gentille. Je devrais être le seul animal du foyer en revanche je pourrais côtoyer des chiens en balade. Je pourrais également vivre avec des enfants respectueux. La vie en appartement comme en maison me conviendra, et je vous accompagnerai volontiers dans toutes vos activités. Venez vite me rencontrer.

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.
