Sherlock

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, I'm the handsome Sherlock! With my friends, we were very numerous and they couldn't be taken care of anymore. I don't know much about the world... So I'm shy and fearful, and I'll need a patient family, composed of adults, who will give me time to reassure myself without forcing me to be affectionate right from the start. But don't worry, it will come with time! It's just that I haven't had the habit. For my education, you can rely on my notorious greed: a treat and I'll learn quickly! I love physical activities, so I'll be happy with a well-fenced garden where I can run around. By the way... I also like to let off steam with my toys! But of course... After all, that's what they're for! Let me discover life in a foster home, and I'm sure I'll reveal the gentle and friendly dog that I am when I'm reassured.

Bonjour, je suis le beau SHERLOCK ! Avec mes copains, nous étions très nombreux et l'on ne pouvait plus s'occuper de nous. Je ne connais pas grand-chose du monde... Alors je suis timide, craintif, il faudra une famille patiente, composée d'adultes, qui me laissera le temps de me rassurer sans m'obliger dès le début à des contacts affectueux. Mais rassurez-vous, ça viendra avec le temps ! C'est juste que je n'ai pas eu l'habitude. Pour mon éducation, vous pourrez vous appuyer sur ma gourmandise notoire : une récompense et j'apprendrai vite ! J'aime beaucoup les activités physiques, alors je serai heureux avec un jardin bien clôturé où me déguerpir les pattes. Petit détail : j'aime bien me défouler sur mes jouets aussi ! Mais bon... Après tout, c'est fait pour ça ! Faites-moi découvrir la vie en foyer, je suis sûr que je révélerai le chien doux et gentil que je suis lorsque je serai rassuré.

About Sherlock

What life with Sherlock looks like

Sherlock 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 Sherlock, answered.

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