Symba

Mixed Breed · Male

I'm named Symba. I was abandoned because my owner was no longer able to take care of a dog... I'm very gentle, you'll quickly attach yourself to me, that's for sure! You'll need to be quite available for me as I'm very dynamic and I need a lot of physical and mental exercise. On to games and big walks! I'll need a family composed of adults, and I can get along with other dogs. However, I have a tendency to chase after other small animals, so for their sake... there shouldn't be any in my home! If you're affectionate, energetic humans ready to offer me an interesting life and to complete my education, I'm ready to jump into your car with all my enthusiasm!

Je m'appelle SYMBA. J'ai été abandonné parce mon maître n'était plus en capacité de s'occuper d'un chien... Je suis très gentil, vous allez vite vous attacher à moi, c'est sûr ! Il faudra que vous soyez assez disponibles pour moi car je suis très dynamique et j'ai besoin de beaucoup de dépenses physiques et mentales. A nous les jeux et les grandes balades ! J'aurai besoin d'une famille composée d'adultes, et je peux m'entendre avec d'autres chiens. Par contre j'ai tendance à courir après les autres petites bêtes donc dans leur intérêt... il n'en faut pas chez moi ! Si vous êtes des humains affectueux, énergiques, prêts à m'offrir une vie intéressante et à parfaire mon éducation, je suis prêt à sauter dans votre voiture avec tout mon enthousiasme !

About Symba

What life with Symba looks like

Symba 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 Symba, answered.

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