Whiskey

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Whiskey was removed from his family by the police and arrived at the shelter fearful and insecure. Thanks to months of patient, dedicated work with our dog trainer, his fear and anxiety have almost completely disappeared , and today, he is a very different dog. Whiskey now gets along well with other dogs and people and is also very good with children. He does need a little time to get to know new people, but once he learns to trust you, his loving and gentle nature truly shines through. He would benefit from having an outdoor space, not necessarily a large one, just somewhere quiet where he can sit outside and relax. Whiskey is looking for a calm, understanding person who has time for him and is willing to continue the healing journey that has already begun at the refuge, reassuring him that he is safe and will never be abused again. Whiskey has come so far and, with the right home, will make a deeply loyal and affectionate companion.

About Whiskey

What life with Whiskey looks like

Whiskey 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 Whiskey, answered.

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