How do I contact the shelter about Coco Loco?

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 Coco Loco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Coco Loco 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 Coco Loco 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 Coco Loco 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 Coco Loco 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 Coco Loco

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Coco Loco has the most enthusiasm for life that we have ever witnessed. He spent 6 years in a cage in another rescue center before coming to us. We have had him since early 2018. He was one of our first dogs we rescued on the island. Sadly, no one wants this poor happy soul. Coco, whom we renamed Coco Loco, owns every piece of bread and stick on the finca. He also owns every cushion and ball. If you start playing with him, he will never leave you alone; he can often be found dropping a ball at the horses' feet and barking at them to play with him. Coco never lost his spirit, even with his many years inside a rescue center, and he hasn't lost his spirit when it comes to playing. Coco has problems with his hip joints, and sometimes he overdoes it, and you see him running around on 3 legs, but it doesn't however slow him down at all. We work with a vet for Coco, and we are expecting a hip replacement or leg removal in the next year or so. Even though it all, nothing will dampen his spirit.

About Coco Loco

What life with Coco Loco looks like

Coco Loco is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

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.
