Sophy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sophy arrived at the shelter after being found wandering, confused and scared. She came in as a puppy and, from the very beginning, showed her gentle and affectionate nature. Sophy is a bright and loving girl who thrives on consistency. She picks up commands quickly and loves to know what’s expected of her making her a great candidate for continued training. She still has some playful puppy traits, so a little guidance goes a long way with her. With plenty of energy and enthusiasm, Sophy loves her walks and is great on the lead. An active family who enjoys getting out and about would be a perfect match for her lifestyle. She’s fantastic with people and other dogs, though she does like to take charge in group settings a typical confident young girl! That said, she shares her space well and enjoys canine company. What Sophy really wants is love, attention, and affection , cuddles and kisses are high on her list of favourite things. In return, she’ll give her new family loyalty, fun, and a whole lot of heart. Sophy would flourish in an active, loving home with people who enjoy the outdoors and can provide gentle structure. Whether with another dog or as the center of attention, she’ll bring energy and warmth to any household.

About Sophy

What life with Sophy looks like

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

An young 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 Sophy, answered.

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