Dog Shelters in Tenerife

As more people move to Tenerife to start their dream life, many animal lovers among them adopt pets. Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances such as returning to their home countries, some can’t take their pets along. The COVID-19 situation has exacerbated this issue, leading to increased needs for dog shelters in Tenerife. Among the sanctuaries providing refuge for these animals is the K9 Animal Sanctuary, a beacon for dogs and cats in crisis.
