Sammy, a black labrador x golden retriever cross of almost 6 years old, is looking for a new basket. Sammy is no longer happy where she currently lives. Last summer something happened that means she no longer wants to go outside. Her 3 walks now last 15 minutes at most. She no longer dares to step out the front door; her owners have tried everything, but it no longer works. Sammy is afraid of fireworks, and she has been badly frightened a few times by loud fireworks. The enthusiastic, cheerful and happy Sammy is now receiving calming medication alongside her allergy medicine. Sammy deserves a much better life. Indoors, Sammy is calm and present. She has a basket and some toys. She is welcome to lie on the couch; a crate is not necessary. She is

About Sammy

What life with Sammy looks like

Sammy is an adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Stichting Zino in Netherlands.

An 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sammy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sammy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Zino handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sammy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sammy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Zino 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sammy 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 Sammy 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 Stichting Zino early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sammy 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
