Alba

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Alba was found abandoned in the mountains along with her siblings. Rescuing them took time and patience, but eventually they were all safely brought to the refuge. From the moment she arrived, Alba showed her sweet and outgoing nature. While her siblings were more reserved, Alba quickly adapted to refuge life and made fast friends with the staff. She absolutely adores human company ,cuddles and being picked up are some of her favourite things! She’s a gentle soul who may be a little shy when alone, but she blossoms in the company of people. Affectionate, friendly, and great on the lead, Alba gets along wonderfully with both humans and other dogs. On the smaller side of medium, she’s perfectly sized for any home , big enough for adventures, small enough for cozy cuddles. Ideal Home: Alba is still young and thrives on companionship, so she’s looking for a family that won’t leave her alone for long periods. A home with time, love, and maybe another doggy friend would be perfect for her. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will brighten your days, Alba is ready to meet you. Come fall in love with Alba she’s waiting with open paws.

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Live PAWS Tenerife in Spain.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alba, answered.

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