Sam and Dean

Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Sam and Dean, a pair of very sweet boys looking for their forever home with some entire male rat friends to share their life with. Sam and Dean are a sweet pair, who love having lots to keep them busy. The pair really enjoy having a toilet roll in their cage to make a cosy nest to snuggle and hide in. Dean absolutely loves to makes dens, you can watch him push, kick and purposefully place his bedding to make the most incredible beds for him and Sam to cuddle into. They both love their soil dig tray, especially when they are searching for mealworms that have been sprinkled in. They are also masters at pea fishing! Dunking their little paws and sometimes faces into the water to get the best pea or sweetcorn that make be floating around. They are often together when in their cage and enjoy having each other to play with. Dean is the more confident of the two, coming over when you open the door and is the first to come out. This doesn’t mean Sam is shy, he is just as sweet but just a little slower with his approach. During free range time, they are both hopping around, and using you as a climbing frame, Sam particularly enjoying the shoulder spot. If you have some male rats who would love more friends, and Sam and Dean sound like the right pair for your family. Please do get in touch via the website. Rats are extremely inquisitive. In fact, they take the word to a whole new level! They love nothing more than climbing, exploring and learning about their surroundings. So, that’s why it’s really important you provide your rats with a suitable sized enclosure, and it should include plenty of fun things to keep them fit and healthy.

About Sam and Dean

What life with Sam and Dean looks like

Sam and Dean is a large young adult animal waiting at Wood Green in London.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Sam and Dean far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sam and Dean, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sam and Dean?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Wood Green handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sam and Dean on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sam and Dean if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Wood Green 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sam and Dean already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Sam and Dean 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 Wood Green early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sam and Dean 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 (EN). 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.
