How do I contact the shelter about SAMBA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ADAM Protectora El Masnou handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SAMBA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt SAMBA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ADAM Protectora El Masnou 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 SAMBA 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 SAMBA 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 ADAM Protectora El Masnou early rather than rehoming privately; they know SAMBA 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 (ES). 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.

SAMBA

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 2 years

Description: SAMBA IS LOOKING FOR A SECOND CHANCE We’re looking for a responsible and committed family for Samba, a little dog full of energy, vitality, and an incredible zest for life. Samba needs to be an only child and, ideally, find a home with plenty of space and opportunities to burn off her energy and enjoy an active lifestyle. She’s a very affectionate, obedient dog with an exceptional ability to learn. She picks up new things quickly, does her business outside the home, and has learned to walk properly on the street. Moreover, each day she’s improving her interactions with other dogs and gradually gaining better control over her reactions. Samba absolutely loves human company and could become a wonderful adventure companion. HER ARRIVAL Samba was found at the shelter’s gate with an open wound on one of her ears, likely caused by another dog’s bite. Because of this experience, it’s possible that her reaction to other dogs is linked to fear or insecurity. However, Samba is making very positive progress, and with dedication, patience, and consistent effort, she’s demonstrating greater capacity every day to move forward and improve her relationships with other dogs. She’s learned to walk correctly on the street and continues to make progress day by day. That’s why we’re looking for a family that understands her story, respects her pace, and is willing to accompany her with patience and love. At this stage of her life, what’s most important for Samba is finding stability, affection, and security. A family that truly understands her needs will be able to help her keep moving forward and become the happy, well-balanced dog we know she can be. If you’re interested in meeting Samba, please get in touch with us: 650 796 050

About SAMBA

What life with SAMBA looks like

SAMBA is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at ADAM Protectora El Masnou in Spain.

An young 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.
