How do I contact the shelter about Xena?

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 Xena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Xena 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 Xena 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 Xena 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 Xena 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.

Adopt Xena

Mixed Breed · Female

XENA is a small English bulldog who is still a bit timid, with a difficult past, that has never truly known the comfort of a home. Today, she is slowly discovering the world, and everything is still quite impressive to her. Still wary of many things, Xena will need time, patience, and a lot of tenderness to learn to trust and open up to her environment. She progresses at her own pace and already shows a beautiful potential. She has an imperative need for access to the outdoors: the vast spaces and fresh air greatly reassure her. A house with a garden will therefore be essential for her well-being, even if the inside may seem strange to her at first. She is sociable with other dogs and respectful of cats, Xena is looking for a calm, kind, and patient family, ready to accompany her step by step and to help her discover, gently, the happiness of family life.

XENA est une petite bouledogue anglais encore un peu timide, au passé difficile, qui n'a jamais vraiment connu la douceur d'un foyer. Aujourd'hui, elle découvre peu à peu le monde et tout reste encore impressionnant pour elle. Encore craintive face à de nombreuses choses, Xena aura besoin de temps, de patience et de beaucoup de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance et s'ouvrir à son environnement. Elle progresse à son rythme et montre déjà un beau potentiel. Elle a impérativement besoin d'un accès à l'extérieur : les grands espaces et l'air frais la rassurent énormément. Une maison avec jardin sera donc essentielle pour son bien-être, même si l'intérieur pourra lui sembler étrange au début. Sociable avec les chiens et respectueuse des chats, Xena recherche une famille calme, bienveillante et patiente, prête à l'accompagner pas à pas et à lui faire découvrir, en douceur, le bonheur d'une vie de famille.

About Xena

What life with Xena looks like

Xena 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.
