Adopt Diego

Mixed Breed · Male

Diego is a dog with a tumultuous background. Found wandering along a road, exposed to great dangers, he was eventually taken in and cared for by the FBB. At the shelter, he is a very gentle companion and close to humans, particularly appreciating our attention. However, his education still needs to be built. Therefore, he will require experienced adopters who are willing to invest consistently and with kindness to guide him. The presence of other animals such as cats, chickens, or small companions should be avoided in his future home. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Dog:

Au refuge il est un compagnon très gentil et proche de l'humain, qui apprécie particulièrement la présence notre attention. Toutefois, son éducation reste à construire. Il aura donc besoin d'adoptants expérimentés, prêts à s'investir avec cohérence et bienveillance pour le guider. La présence d'autres animaux tels que des chats, des poules ou de petits compagnons est à éviter dans son futur foyer.

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego 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 Diego, answered.

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