How do I contact the shelter about Pickle?

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

Can I adopt Pickle 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 Pickle 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 Pickle 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 Pickle 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 Pickle

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

With endless love to give, Pickle's past doesn't define him. Pickle is one of our newer rescues, brought to us through our small-animal veterinarian. He had spent his entire life confined to a small outdoor space, fed only tuna and bread, and given little to no training or enrichment. On paper, it sounded like a recipe for disaster, but Pickle proved us wrong in every possible way. From the moment he arrived, Pickle showed us what a calm, gentle, loving soul he truly is. He instantly befriended everyone: dogs, cats, pigeons - Pickle does not discriminate! His kind nature and soft personality immediately captured the hearts of our volunteers. Despite his past, Pickle has adapted to his new life beautifully. In just four weeks, he learned all his basic commands and house rules, surprising us again with his intelligence and eagerness to please. That's why it was so difficult when we received the news of his Filaria (heartworm) diagnosis - a heart-breaking but unfortunately common illness here on the island. His treatment is long and expensive, but we are committed to giving Pickle every chance at a healthy future. Once his treatment is complete, Pickle will be ready for the loving forever home he deserves. He is wonderful with children, dogs, and other animals, calm by nature, and fully house-trained. Pickle is approximately 7 years old and he would suit a wide range of homes and is available for rehoming internationally. Pickle may not have had the best start in life, but his heart is pure gold. And we can't wait to see him finally receive the love and security he's always deserved.

About Pickle

What life with Pickle looks like

Pickle 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" — 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.
