Saphir

Mixed Breed · Female

Saphir is a large, shy dog who hopes for a family that will help her write a new chapter in her life. Sweet and gentle, she remains a bit reserved and will need patience and gentleness to earn her trust. The presence of another well-behaved dog is imperative to accompany and show her the way, as it greatly helps her to thrive. Very food-motivated, this is her small weakness, and it will need to be taken into account in her daily life and training. She seeks a home with a yard and most importantly, a heart ready to welcome her, to offer her security and affection. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Dog:

SAPHIR est une grande timide qui attend avec espoir la famille qui l'aidera à écrire un nouveau chapitre de sa vie. Douce et gentille, elle reste un peu réservée et aura besoin que l'on s'approche d'elle avec patience et douceur pour gagner sa confiance. La présence d'un autre chien bien dans ses pattes est impérative pour l'accompagner et lui montrer le chemin, car cela l'aide beaucoup à s'épanouir. Très gourmande, c'est son petit point faible et il faudra en tenir compte dans son quotidien et son éducation. Elle recherche une maison avec jardin et surtout un cœur prêt à l'accueillir pour lui offrir sécurité et affection.

About Saphir

What life with Saphir looks like

Saphir is a small adult mixed breed 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 Saphir, answered.

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