Rocky

German Shepherd · Male

Rocky is a magnificent German Shepherd whose previous owners tragically passed away in a terrible accident. Taken in by the Foundation, he was welcomed with kindness and reassurance, and taught how to behave properly. His education, of course, is ongoing, but he is eager to learn and picks things up quickly. He gets along well with other dogs. He is playful, greedy, and still full of energy. He will need a home with a yard, as he can be quite vocal when emotions get the better of him. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to adopt a dog:

ROCKY est un magnifique berger allemand dont les anciens propriétaires sont malheureusement décédés dans un tragique accident. Pris en charge par la Fondation, il a été accueilli avec bienveillance on l'a rassuré et on lui a expliqué comment bien se comporter. Son éducation reste bien sûr à poursuivre, mais il ne demande qu'à apprendre et comprend très vite. Il s'entend avec les autres chiens. Il est joueur, gourmand et encore plein de vie. Il lui faudra une maison avec jardin, car il peut avoir de la voix quand trop d'émotion l'envahit.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a small adult german shepherd 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 Rocky, answered.

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