Gringo

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, my name is Gringo. My life on the streets of Paris hasn't been easy, and I remain very shy and fearful. Is that a reason not to give me a chance? With a lot of patience and love, a well-fenced and quiet garden, without young children, I could get used to the joy of a home. Who will tame me, restore my faith in life? I would like to be adopted with my sister Grace or in a home where there are already well-behaved dogs. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to adopt a dog:. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Bonjour, je suis GRINGO. Ma vie sur les trottoirs de Paris n'a pas été simple, et j'en suis resté très timide et craintif. Est-ce une raison pour ne pas me donner ma chance ? Avec beaucoup de patience et d'amour, un jardin bien clôturé, et calme, sans enfants en bas âge, je pourrais m'habituer à vivre la joie d'un foyer. Qui saura m'apprivoiser, me redonner confiance dans la vie ? J'aimerais être adopté avec ma sœur Grace ou alors dans un foyer dans lequel il y a déjà des chiens bien dans leurs pattes.

About Gringo

What life with Gringo looks like

Gringo 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 Gringo, answered.

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