Samba

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 3 months

Hi, I am Samba. I am a sweet girl who was brought to safety from a village together with my siblings. I am now staying at Dog Rose, where I am being cared for while I wait for my forever family. My vaccinations are currently in progress, and I will be ready to travel from mid-October. I am a friendly and gentle girl with a submissive nature. I am confident, curious and always looking for a chance to play. I have a nicely balanced energy level, and my confidence is already an impressive 9/10. I am good with dogs, cats and children. I could be happy living in the city or the countryside, as long as I have a loving family to share my life with. When I am fully grown, I am expected to be medium-sized, around 19 kg. I also have a normal tail. I am Samba, and from mid-October I will be ready for my biggest adventure yet: leaving Dog Rose and travelling to the family who will love me forever.

About Samba

What life with Samba looks like

Samba is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

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. The Dog Rose) 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 — The Dog Rose) 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 The Dog Rose) 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 (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.
