Dulux

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Every finca needs a rasta poodle? We rescued Dulux alongside our affiliates Arche Noah as they were full at the time. There were eight dogs, including Dulux, that at age two had never been outside. He was covered in ticks, fleas, and had rotten muck in his fur. He was very nervous and took a long time to gain confidence. Now he is very friendly, loves a fuss, and routinely jumps on our volunteers' laps for cuddles. He is a real-life teddy bear and when he's not in someone's lap, he's following Emma around the finca. You may recognize him from various videos or if you have ever been to visit. If you would like updates and cute videos of Dulux, you can choose him as your dog to sponsor.

About Dulux

What life with Dulux looks like

Dulux 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dulux, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dulux?: 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 Dulux on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dulux 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Dulux 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 Dulux 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 Dulux 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.
