How do I contact the shelter about Champagne Supernova?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tenerife Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Champagne Supernova on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Champagne Supernova if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tenerife Animal Sanctuary 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 Champagne Supernova already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most horses 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 Champagne Supernova 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Champagne Supernova 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 (ES). 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.

Adopt Champagne Supernova

Mixed Breed · Unknown

From fear to freedom, Nova is learning how to be a horse. Champagne Supernova, or "Nova" as we affectionately call her, arrived as one of our most unusual cases. Unlike many of our horses, she didn’t come to us underweight or visibly neglected. In fact, she was the opposite - overweight from an unhealthy diet, but deeply unwell in every other way. We didn’t know much about her before she arrived. One day, a horse box pulled up at the sanctuary and out stepped a mare who had spent her entire life living in a dark cave. What we found was heart-breaking. Despite her weight, Nova was one of the most stressed and emotionally shut-down horses we had ever met. She carried large edemas under her belly from poor diet and lack of movement, and her body language showed years of fear and anxiety. She was terrified of everything - of people, of other horses, and of life itself. Every sound, every movement sent her on edge. It was clear she had never experienced the simple freedom of being a horse. But slowly, day by day, that began to change. Since arriving, Nova has started to relax into her new world - a world filled with sunshine, open spaces, gentle hands, and kind voices. She's learning to trust, to move freely, and to connect again. Her transformation reminds us that healing isn’t just about food and shelter - it’s about safety, love, and time. Champagne Supernova still has a long journey ahead, but every small step she takes is a victory. We’re so proud to be part of her story and you can be too by sponsoring her to help her live a happy and healthy life with us.

About Champagne Supernova

What life with Champagne Supernova looks like

Champagne Supernova is a small adult mixed breed horse waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇪🇸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.
