Grace

Mixed Breed · Female

I am Grace, and I have always lived at the shelter. I arrived at our shelter with my mom and my brothers and sisters. We were exposed on the Parisian sidewalk, available for sale. Fortunately, we were rescued by the shelter. Since then, some of my brothers and sisters have found a nice family, but not me. It's because I am very, very shy. Yet, I am not aggressive at all. But I am afraid. However, when you are very gentle with me and take me by my food-loving feelings, you can approach and even pet me... And I love that! Ah, this gentleness and affection! I look at you with eyes full of love, trying to trust! I should be adopted with my brother Gringo, who is also very fearful, or there should already be well-balanced dogs in my future home to guide me and reassure me in family life.

Je suis Grace, et j'ai toujours vécu au refuge. Je suis arrivée à la Mare Auzou avec ma maman et mes frères et sœurs. Nous étions exposés sur le trottoir parisien en vue d'être vendus. Heureusement, nous avons été récupérés au refuge. Depuis, certains de mes frères et sœurs ont trouvé une gentille famille mais pas moi. C'est parce que je suis très, très timide. Sans aucune agressivité, pourtant. Mais j'ai peur. Pourtant, quand on est très doux avec moi, et qu'on me prend par mes sentiments gourmands, on peut m'approcher et même me caresser... Et j'adore ça ! Ah, cette douceur et cette affection ! Je vous regarde alors avec des yeux pleins d'amour qui essaient de faire confiance ! Je devrai être adoptée avec mon frère Gringo, très craintif lui aussi, ou alors qu'il y ait déjà des chiens équilibrés dans mon futur foyer pour me guider dans la vie de famille et me rassurer.

About Grace

What life with Grace looks like

Grace 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 Grace, answered.

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