Samalo

Chinchilla · Male · Adult · 5 years

Type/Race: Chinchilla Age: born on 06/03/2021 History: Adorable chinchilla who has experienced a major change in her life: she and other animals of the same species were taken in by the pound following the owner's death. Personality: Friendly with humans, Samalo enjoys contact but only if it is up to him. He should not be handled abruptly. Curious and full of energy, Samalo loves exploring his environment, running everywhere and leaping onto the walls with impressive agility! However, what he loves most is playing with his friends by making little noises to surprise them... then dashing off to invite them to play with him. Just like Saaya and Tagada, if cohabitation with other animals of the same species goes very well, the same can be said about his relationships with dogs, cats, and even rabbits in the same household. Indeed, Samalo has no trace of aggression and knows how to adapt to his environment and the living beings that are there. He likes to attract their attention and play with them. However, as with any chinchilla, the presence of birds and reptiles should be avoided, as they are a source of stress. Also, chinchillas are social animals. Therefore, as there are currently three of them, they will not be separable (unless it is a single one for the first adoption, and only to join another chinchilla). Adoption fees: 80 euros for a chinchilla (they are currently living in a group of three. Adopting one is possible if the adopter already has a chinchilla and there are still the other two available for adoption). To adopt, please complete this form: Finally, this animal does not suit you or is no longer available?

Type/Race : Chinchilla Âge : né le 06/03/2021 Histoire: Adorable chinchilla qui a connu un bouleversement dans sa vie : lui et ses congénères ont été récupérés par la fourrière suite au décès du propriétaire. Caractère : Sociable avec l’humain, Samalo apprécie le contact mais seulement si c’est lui qui le décide. Il ne faut pas le manipuler brusquement. Curieux et plein d’énergie, Samalo adore explorer son environnement, courir partout et bondir sur les murs avec une agilité impressionnante ! Cela dit, ce qu’il aime par dessus tout, c’est jouer avec ses copains en faisant de petits bruits pour les surprendre… avant de partir en trombe pour les inviter à s’amuser avec lui. Tout comme Saaya et Tagada, si la cohabitation avec ses congénères se passe très bien, on peut en dire autant de ses ententes avec les chiens, chats et même lapins présents dans la même famille. En effet, Samalo n’a aucune once d’agressivité et sait s’adapter à son environnement et les êtres vivants qui s’y trouvent. Il aime attirer leur attention et jouer avec eux. Mais comme pour tout chinchilla, on évitera la présence d’oiseaux et de reptiles, source de stress. Aussi, les chinchillas sont grégaires. Donc, comme ils sont actuellement 3, ils ne seront pas séparables (sauf s’il s’agit d’un seul, pour la première adoption, et uniquement pour rejoindre un autre congénère). Frais d’adoption : 80 euros pour un chinchilla (ils vivent actuellement à 3. L’adoption d’un seul est possible si l’adoptant a déjà un chinchilla et qu’il reste encore les 2 autres à l’adoption) Pour l’adopter, merci de compléter ce formulaire : Finalement, cet animal ne vous correspond pas ou n’est plus disponible ?

About Samalo

What life with Samalo looks like

Samalo is a adult chinchilla animal waiting at Action 4 Pets in France.

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

🇫🇷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 Samalo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Samalo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Action 4 Pets handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Samalo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Samalo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Action 4 Pets 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 Samalo 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 Samalo 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 Action 4 Pets early rather than rehoming privately; they know Samalo 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.
