Adopt Maurice

Jack Russell Terrier · Male

Maurice was found wandering, alone, before being taken in. Today, all he wants is to find the safety and warmth of a loving home. A true ball of love, he has a lot of tenderness to offer and just wants to share precious moments of cuddles with his future family. Maurice would prefer to be the only pet in the household, so he can fully enjoy the attention that means so much to him. With his delicate little heart and already advanced age, he needs a calm and reassuring environment. He struggles with loneliness and needs attentive presence by his side. In return, he will fill his home with affection and tenderness, for a sincere and deeply bonding relationship. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Dog:

MAURICE a été trouvé errant, livré à lui-même, avant d'être pris en charge. Aujourd'hui, il aspire simplement à retrouver la sécurité et la chaleur d'un foyer aimant. Véritable boule d'amour, il a énormément de tendresse à offrir et ne demande qu'à partager de précieux moments de câlins avec sa future famille. MAURICE préfèrera être le seul animal du foyer, afin de profiter pleinement de l'attention qui lui est si chère. Avec son petit coeur fragile et son âge déjà avancé, il a besoin d'un environnement calme et rassurant. Il supporte difficilement la solitude et a besoin d'une présence attentive à ses côtés. En retour, il saura combler son foyer d'affection et de douceur, pour une relation sincère et profondément attachante.

About Maurice

What life with Maurice looks like

Maurice is a small adult jack russell terrier 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 Maurice, answered.

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