Samba

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Samba here had to come back to us as his adopter’s circumstances changed. He finds being in kennels stressful and jumps around and barks a lot when visitors pass by but he is a lovely boy out on our field and loves the staff. He is 11 years old, neutered and chipped. Samba is a sensitive, loyal dog and he really wants to be someone’s everything. He is fine with other dogs and could live with a spayed female pooch pal following suitable introductions. The ideal home for Samba is adults only and someone prepared to make multiple visits to get to know him. He loves his walks and will be a fabulous companion in the right home. If you are interested in meeting Samba or any of our dogs please read through our adoption criteria in the ADOPT section before getting in touch. We are currently running on appointments only.

About Samba

What life with Samba looks like

Samba is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at BARK (Babworth Animal Rescue Kennels) in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Samba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Samba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. BARK (Babworth Animal Rescue Kennels) 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 — BARK (Babworth Animal Rescue Kennels) 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 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 BARK (Babworth Animal Rescue Kennels) 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
