Adopt Sissy

Jack Russell Terrier · Female

SISSY has been entrusted to Sissy because her original owner could no longer cope with the health issues of this young dog. Abandoned at her veterinarian, she unfortunately lost both of her eyes... but her tenacity and joyful spirit have never dimmed. Today, Sissy is brimming with life. She is playful and loves to share moments of complicity, and she easily coexists with other animals of the same species. Her handicap hasn't dulled her curiosity or her zest for life; she simply wants to move forward, discover the world, and feel loved, truly loved. Sissy will need a patient and attentive adopter, a true guide for the blind, capable of offering her security, routine, and tenderness. In return, she will give a pure, unconditional love that warms the heart. She is waiting for one thing: for someone to show her the true meaning of the word "love" and for her to live fully for the first time. Give Sissy a home where every day is a step toward happiness. She is ready... are you? Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a dog:

SISSY a été confiée à la FBB car son propriétaire n'a pas pu affronter les soucis de santé de cette jeune chienne. Abandonnée chez son vétérinaire, elle a malheureusement perdu ses deux yeux... mais jamais sa combativité, ni son esprit joyeux. Aujourd'hui, Sissy déborde de vie. Joueuse, elle adore partager des moments de complicité, et côtoie sans difficultés ses congénères. Son handicap n'a rien éteint de sa curiosité ni de sa joie de vivre : elle veut simplement avancer, découvrir le monde et se sentir aimée, vraiment aimée. Sissy aura besoin d'un adoptant patient et attentif, un véritable guide d'aveugle, capable de lui offrir sécurité, routine et tendresse. En retour, elle donnera un amour pur, inconditionnel, qui réchauffe l'âme. Elle n'attend qu'une chose : que quelqu'un lui montre le vrai sens du mot amour et qu'elle puisse, pour la première fois, vivre pleinement. Offrez à Sissy un foyer où chaque jour est un pas vers le bonheur. Elle est prête... vous aussi ?

About Sissy

What life with Sissy looks like

Sissy is a small adult jack russell terrier 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 Sissy, answered.

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