Rocky

Border Collie · Male

Hello, my name is Rocky! I arrived at our shelter after the passing of my owner, accompanied by my mom Whisky. Despite my clumsiness and shyness, I am a lively and very curious dog. I still have a lot to learn, from her and from you, and that's all I dream of. My greatest passion in life? Playing with you! I am looking for a patient and kind family ready to welcome me and help me adapt to my new life. I get along well with other dogs and am gentle with cats.

Ma plus grande passion dans la vie ? Jouer avec vous ! Je recherche une famille patiente et bienveillante, prête à m'accueillir et à m'aider à m'adapter à ma nouvelle vie. Je m'entends bien avec les autres chiens et je suis doux avec les chats. Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chien : ROCKY, chien BORDER COLLIE male de 3 ans

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a small adult border collie 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.
