Adopt Ringo

Mixed Breed · Unknown

A big voice and an even bigger personality. Say hello to Ringo, our hilarious new stallion donkey who came to us from another island! His neighbour was so worried about him being in a difficult situation, along with his friend Palomino, that she negotiated and paid to get them out and brought safely to us. Ringo is only 5 and had never lived with other donkeys before, so at the moment he's staying with our ponies and learning lots of new things. He's already been castrated and it was a very difficult recovery, honestly it was touch and go due to infections and abscesses, but he has turned a corner and eventually recovered beautifully. Because mature stallions can take a while for their hormones and behaviour to settle, we're giving him a few months to fully adjust before he joins our donkey gang. For now he is gaining trust and knowledgeable from humans so he can go out walking and enjoy his new happy life. He's a huge, funny character (and very, very loud!) and we're excited to watch his journey as he becomes part of the herd here at the sanctuary.

About Ringo

What life with Ringo looks like

Ringo is a small adult mixed breed horse waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇪🇸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 Ringo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ringo?
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 Ringo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ringo 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 Ringo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most horses 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 Ringo 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 Ringo 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.
