Marlene

Mixed Breed · Female

Marlène is a dog who arrived from Romania and is still in the discovery phase. She gets along well with other dogs, particularly the pretty Medina, with whom she is especially at ease. A bit reserved during initial contacts or in new situations, Marlène gradually relaxes as she feels more at ease. As for cats, the interactions are still being evaluated. Marlène will need a reassuring environment, time, and patience to continue evolving calmly and to fully reveal her personality. She would suit attentive adopters who are ready to gently accompany her through this new phase of her life. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopter un chien:

Marlène est une chienne arrivée de Roumanie, encore en phase de découverte. Elle s'entend bien avec les autres chiens, en particulier, par exemple, la jolie Medina, avec qui elle se montre particulièrement à l'aise. Un peu réservée lors des premiers contacts ou dans les situations nouvelles, Marlène se détend progressivement lorsqu'elle se sent en confiance. Elle s'entend avec les chiens, les chats et les autres animaux. Marlène aura besoin d'un environnement rassurant, de temps et de patience pour continuer à évoluer sereinement et révéler pleinement sa personnalité. Elle conviendra à des adoptants attentifs, prêts à l'accompagner en douceur dans cette nouvelle étape de sa vie.

About Marlene

What life with Marlene looks like

Marlene 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 Marlene, answered.

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