How do I contact the shelter about Meh?

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

Can I adopt Meh 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 Meh 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 Meh 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 Meh 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 Meh

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

Queen Meh, if she loves you, she loves you. If not, run! Meh was our first goat at the finca, with us from the very beginning. She was previously rescued and bottle fed as a poor baby. She had a hard time growing up and was attacked by a pack of dogs, twice. Her ears were ripped in two parts where they didn't heal back together. She also had deformation in her horns which mean they grew round into her eyes if not monitored. She had regular phantom pregnancies and was unable to actually get pregnant, which is why she ended up with us. Despite all this she was feisty and was a real character, always found putting her head through the cave house kitchen asking for scraps! She was always "the old goat", no one quite understood how she was still going! Time and time again, she proved everyone wrong. Just when it seemed like the end, Meh would bounce back. They say cats have 9 lives, but we think Meg had more. She was known for her grumpy, demanding personality and we wouldn't have had her any other way. That strong character left a lasting and unforgettable impression on everyone who met her. Meh wasn't just part of the sanctuary, she was the sanctuary for so many of us. At over 20 years old and having been diagnosed with cancerous tumours years ago, Meh had already defied the odds for a long time. We managed her care closely over the years, giving her everything she needed to stay comfortable and happy. However, in the last few months, alongside the colder and harsher weather, we began to see a decline. Her severe osteoarthritis worsened and, despite medication, she was clearly struggling. We had to separate her from the herd due to bullying and slowly, Meh began to show us that she was getting tired. In her own way, she let us know it was time. Meh passed away surrounded by love, appreciated for everything she was, and held by the people whose lives she touched so deeply. She leaves behind a huge space, one that can never truly be filled, but also a lifetime of memories, resilience, and character that we will never forget.

About Meh

What life with Meh looks like

Meh 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.
