Adopt Licorice

Mixed Breed Β· Unknown

A beautiful fluff ball with a great balance of cuddles and alone time. Loves to cuddle but needs some self time too. Ideal for people who feel the same way. πŸ™‚ He is not a cat who always follows you to the toilet. πŸ™‚ Good alone, doesn't need attention all day. She grew up with a dog and a pig. They used to sleep together, but then their sizes started to change dramatically, especially the pig… so cuddling was not working anymore, but they stayed friends forever. πŸ™‚ Licorice is very territorial and prefers to be the only cat around. Super fine with dogs, just the other cats… πŸ™‚ Right now he lives in a cave with one of our volunteers and two doggies. Ready for a new, forever home.

About Licorice

What life with Licorice looks like

Licorice 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈAdopting 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 Licorice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Licorice?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tenerife Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Licorice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Licorice if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Licorice 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Licorice isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tenerife Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Licorice 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 β€” 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.
