Maco

Mixed Breed · Male

He is very friendly, good and affectionate with people. He loves going for walks and knows how to sit if you ask him to. He has energy, although the stress of the shelter does not help him. *He is still pending castration, so in case you are interested in adopting him, you can come to the shelter to meet him and reserve him. As soon as he is castrated, the adopter will be notified so they can pick him up. He gets along well with other dogs. The best place possible to adopt your dog. I have adopted 2 since I met the shelter and it's the best decision I could have made.

En el refugio desde: Con las personas es muy simpático, bueno y cariñoso. Le encanta salir de paseo y sabe sentarse si se lo pides. Tiene energía, aunque el estrés del refugio no le ayuda. *Está aún pendiente de ser castrado, por lo que en caso de estar interesado en su adopción, puede venir por el refugio a conocerlo y reservarlo. En cuanto se castre, se avisaría al adoptante para poder recogerlo. Se lleva bien con otros perros. El mejor sitio posible para adoptar a tu perro. He adoptado 2 desde que conocí el refugio y es la mejor decisión que he podido tomar.

About Maco

What life with Maco looks like

Maco is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Refugio Internacional para Animales in Valle de La Orotava, Tenerife.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refugio Internacional para Animales handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refugio Internacional para Animales 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 Maco 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 Maco 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 Refugio Internacional para Animales early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maco 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.
