Adopt Maeb

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

An older lady waiting to finally feel safe. Maeb is a sweet older lady with a difficult past, but so much love still to give. She came to us from a private rescue in Germany, run by a dedicated vet who saved many dogs throughout her life. Sadly, after the vet passed away, her family worked tirelessly to find safe, forever homes for all the dogs across Europe. Three of those dogs came to us – two have since been rehomed, leaving Maeb still waiting. Out of the three, Maeb was the one who needed a home the most. She is a nervous and timid girl, likely shaped by a troubled past. The busy, high-energy environment of the rescue is overwhelming for her and since her companions have now moved on to their own homes, she has been left struggling even more with stress and anxiety. Because of how easily she becomes frightened and may try to run and due to our proximity to the autopista, Maeb unfortunately cannot live freely like some of our other dogs. For her safety, she currently spends much of her time in a secure space – something we would love to change for her as soon as possible. Thankfully, she will soon be travelling to a foster home that will take care of her until we find her forever home! Maeb would thrive in a calm, quiet home where life moves gently. She is good with other calm, older dogs or any dog that respects her space. With age, she has developed slight hearing and vision impairments, so she needs a patient and understanding environment. At around 10 years old, Maeb isn’t looking for much, just peaceful days, gentle walks and a safe place to finally relax. She is a beautiful dog, with one striking piercing blue eye, and a heart that deserves to feel safe again.

About Maeb

What life with Maeb looks like

Maeb is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Maeb, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maeb?
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 Maeb on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maeb 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 Maeb 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 Maeb 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 Maeb 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.
