Adopt Oscar

Brittany Spaniel · Male

Oscar wandered the Normandy roads, pursued by people trying to catch him. Eventually, he managed to find his way to the shelter on his own. Today, he is well cared for there, but he dreams of having his own home. An apartment life might suit him, even though he remains drawn to the outside: when he's out, he can sometimes be tempted to follow the call of freedom, so some vigilance will be necessary. He is a very affectionate, playful dog who enjoys walks and can also live with other dogs. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a dog:

OSCAR errait sur les routes normandes, poursuivi par des personnes qui tentaient de l'attraper. Finalement, il a réussi à trouver seul le chemin du refuge. Aujourd'hui, il y est bien traité, mais il rêve d'avoir son propre foyer. Une vie en appartement pourrait lui convenir, même s'il reste attiré par l'extérieur : lorsqu'il est dehors, il peut parfois être tenté de suivre l'appel de la liberté, une vigilance sera donc nécessaire. C'est un chien très affectueux, joueur, qui apprécie les balades et pourra également vivre avec d'autres chiens.

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a small adult brittany spaniel 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 Oscar, answered.

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