Buba

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Buba is the sweetest, kindest boy who really shouldn’t be in a refuge at his age. He is now an older dog, and it breaks our hearts to see him spending his later years in a shelter environment. Buba arrived from another refuge, so sadly we have no history on him other than that he spent many previous years there. More than anything, we would love to see this gentle boy adopted , or even fostered where we pay all his costs, so he can finally experience having a family of his own. He is a very calm dog and is confident around other dogs. Buba can be a little shy with people when first meeting them, but once he gets to know you, he becomes very affectionate and loving. He enjoys his walks, happily plodding along at his own relaxed pace. What Buba needs most now is love, warmth, and the comfort of a family environment to enjoy his later years the way he deserves.

About Buba

What life with Buba looks like

Buba is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Live PAWS Tenerife in Spain.

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 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 Buba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buba?
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 Buba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Buba 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 Buba 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 Buba 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 Buba 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.
