Adopt Rona

Labrador Retriever · Female

RONA was found attached with barbed wire in the middle of a field. Fortunately, kind people came to her aid, allowing her to join the Foundation and begin a new life. Very fearful of humans upon her arrival, she has already made beautiful progress and is starting to understand that some humans can be gentle and compassionate. Rona will need time, patience, and gentleness to continue opening up fully. The presence of another well-adjusted dog would be a real plus to help her adapt. She is looking for a understanding family, ready to move at her pace and offer the security she so desperately needs. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Dog:

RONA a été retrouvée attachée avec du barbelé en plein milieu d'un champ. Heureusement, de belles personnes lui sont venues en aide, lui permettant de rejoindre la Fondation et de commencer une nouvelle vie. Très craintive envers l'humain à son arrivée, elle a déjà fait de beaux progrès et commence à comprendre que certains humains peuvent être doux et bienveillants. Rona aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour continuer à s'ouvrir en toute confiance. La présence d'un autre chien, bien dans ses pattes, serait un vrai plus pour l'aider à s'adapter. Elle recherche une famille compréhensive, prête à avancer à son rythme et à lui offrir la sécurité dont elle a tant besoin.

About Rona

What life with Rona looks like

Rona is a small adult labrador retriever 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 Rona, answered.

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