Patch

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Found wandering the streets, Patch was brought to the refuge in search of a second chance. Patch is a total sweetheart with an outgoing, people loving personality. He lives for human connection and greets everyone with enthusiastic joy. In his kennel, he can be a little bouncy with excitement but once he’s out on a walk, he settles right down and shines. Patch is deaf, so he currently lives alone in his kennel. This is simply to keep him safe, without his hearing, he can’t pick up on cues from other dogs, especially if one becomes aggressive. While he doesn’t pay too much attention to other dogs, we think he’d thrive best in a calm, understanding environment, ideally as the only dog or with a carefully matched companion. He adores walks with volunteers and absolutely loves water splashing about is one of his favourite pastimes. And if you’re a fan of photography? Patch is your perfect muse. He’s a natural poser and total diva in front of the camera! Patch may not be able to hear your voice, but he’ll understand your love and return it a hundredfold. With a little patience and a lot of affection, he’ll be the most loyal and devoted companion you could ask for. Come meet Patch and let him show you how special he truly is. He’s waiting with a wagging tail and a heart full of love.

About Patch

What life with Patch looks like

Patch is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Live PAWS Tenerife in Spain.

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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Patch, answered.

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