List of Dog Refuges in Tenerife

ACCION-DEL-SOL  REFUGIO DE PERROS

Accion-del-sol Tenerife was open in July 2006 and is run by Marion Gonzalez and a small team of part -time staff. Accion is on the site of the 'Institute for renewable energy', Granadilla. The shelter has up to date kennels, a large area for the dogs to run around in with agility equipment and a modern surgery.

Marion believes in educating the public about animals and particularly children. School groups are regularly invited to the centre so they can learn about the dogs and how the rescue centre works. The Director also organises events.

Many of the dogs in the centre are transported to Germany to loving homes, but since animals can't travel alone, Aktiontier needs people to travel with the dogs and are continually looking for willing helpers.

If you would like to volunteer at the shelter or accompany a dog to Germany, please ring or email.

K9 REFUGE TENERIFE

K9 Tenerife

Is a Spanish Registered Charity run by volunteers in the South of Tenerife. The purpose of the organisation is to protect, animals from cruelty, starvation and neglect, and to neuter and spay where possible to avoid over population. At the moment there is no official government funding and K9 rely solely on the public for donations and sponsorships.

K9 was formed in 1993 ( official title is Refugio de Los Animales - K9) by three lady residents in the South of Tenerife, who were moved by the plight of the poor and neglected abandoned animals on the island.

At first the rescued animals (dogs and cats) were keptin kennels that had been constructed by friends and volunteers on some land belonging to one of the founder members. K9 Tenerife raised funds for the upkeep of the animals by organising Car Boot Sales, Dinner dances, the placing of Collection Boxes in Bars and the collection of funds at the local markets.

K9 Tenerife is now affiliated to the RSPCA in the UK .

If you would like to volunteer at k9, take a few dogs for a walk or help with fund-raising phone or see website for further info.

K9 - Kennels Tel: 608 121 081 kennels open 11pm - 2pm

How to get to K9 - K9 is at Las Chafiras on the San Miguel side of the motorway. Follow the San Miguel road for 400 metres, you will see the First Impressions Building on your right hand side. After a further 300 metres you will see a road off to the right. Continue on this road for approx a mile. The kennels are on the right on a bend. Car parking opposite the entrance.

La Esperanza

Marisa started the refuge approx 8 years ago, It developed from opening up a boarding kennel 'Petsworld Dog Hotel' and finding, unfortunately some people started to leave abandoned dogs on her doorstep. So then La Esperanza was born. Marisa  has established connections with many other rescue centres in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and France, with whom she has established close and ongoing contact. 

To find out more about volunteering and making a donation phone Marisa on 679 161 682

MANOS AMIGAS DE LOS ANIMALES DE TENERIFE
 
A small animal centre whose goal it is to help the abandoned dogs and cats here on the island. True, as yet we do not have the capacity of a big animal shelter, but we can offer to take in approximately 50 cats and about 20 dogs.

Ideally we like to offer shelter to those animals who for one reason or another cannot remain
in a normal refuge.

Asociación San Francisco de los Animales was formed in  February 1999 by a small group of animal loving people distressed by the plight of  abandoned animals in the South of Tenerife. Due to the ever increasing number of  abandoned animals and call outs in the west of Tenerife it was decided to start a Santiago del Teide Branch of the association. San Francisco main aims are to provide a neutering  programme and veterinary attention, to educate the public in animal husbandry and, where  possible, find permanent homes.   Permanent caring homes are difficult to find! Unfortunately we do not have funding for a  refuge kennel, most of the dogs being fostered by members of the association until homes  can be found, whether it be in Tenerife, Holland, Germany, Luxembourg and occasionally  the U.K. President of Main Association - Jill 616747284 President of Tiede Branch - Judith (0034) 922 864102 - website

The Little Dogs Home -   The refuge is run by Barbara and Chris and as the name suggests is a small refuge. Chris and Barbara only take a maximum of thirty dogs at a time, as this way each dog can get the proper care he/she deserves.

Aktion tier will be opening the first "animal welfare room" in Tenerife

Press release supplied by Marion - Director of Accion-del-Sol

Next Friday 30th March at 10 O'clock, Aktion tier will be opening the first "animal welfare room" in Tenerife. It is also the first one in Spain.

It will be at the CEIP Parque de la Reina. It is a pilot project - Young children will be  taught by their teachers about animal welfare. For example, how some wild animals are in danger, how to protect our environment, how rubbish is dangerous for wild animals etc…

It is a room specially decorated and filled with information like books, games and technical equipment. A comfortable carpet is provided so children are able to sit down on the floor, work and watch and also respect the area they are working in by keeping it clean

The equipment is sponsored by aktion tier.  So aktion tier can be sure that the animal welfare classes will be held several times a year. There are so many subjects on animal welfare to talk about,  and children will be able to learn “what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong”.

The “concejal de sanidad and the concejal de educación de Arona” are coming to the opening. International and canarian press have been invited.

Aktion tiers hope is , that more and more people know about the right way to treat animals.
Animals are not only for companionship and our personal guards, they are much more - They are also our friends !

Accion-Del-Sol April Event

Wooftastic Event at Accion-Del-Sol from 11:am - 8th April

Food for thought for future pet owners.

Press release by Karen Clack (Volunteer Accion-del Sol)

 Please remember that an animal from a shelter or refuge has usually already had a hard fate behind them, and requires time to settle into his new environment and to learn to trust his new owners.   An abundance of patience, love and care is definitely required.
If the dog is  allowed in the house do all the family members want a pet?Who takes care of the animal?
Who will Prepare the food and provide water ,walk the dog a minimum of 2 times a day in all weathers, regular maintenance,and grooming etc.
 Are dog hairs and the occasional "accident"  on the carpet or furniture acceptable as the normal !!


Do you know what costs are involved:
a) Food
b) Veterinary fees
c) Monthly Flea and heart worm control
d) Liability insurance
e) possible accommodation in kennels  while on holiday

Remember that a dog can live for many years  and as long as he  lives will  need  daily care and attention?
The dog is a living animal with feelings and not something that you can quickly get rid of or discard when your fed up with it ! Having a dog or other pet is a very big responsibility both personally and financially.
However, the dog in return will thank you unconditionally and love you for ever and bring alot of joy and support into your life.

Please do think long and hard before taking on a dog. If you feel that you would like to adopt one of Accion Del Sols many abandoned dogs then please do come and visit the refuge Monday - Friday 3-6pm or call 922778630 for more information.  The refuge is situated at Poligono De Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER the  Parque Eolica where the windmills are.
Maybe if this is to big a committment but you would like to help Accion Del Sol then they are always looking for people to walk the dogs to the nearby beach and surrounding countryside . The dogs always welcome a bit of TLC and a nice walk.
 

Accion-Del-Sol and new pooch which needed a major make-over !

This doggie came into Accion-Del -Sol , very badly matted its even difficult to see the dog underneath all the fur. - The vet and kind volunteers at the refuge cleaned him up and now he looks like a different pooch as you can tell from the After photo.

The poor dog must of been so uncomfortable and imagine the amount of fleas he had which would have be very painful due to the scratching of the skin. This is an extreme case of course . But its so important to keep your pooches fur groomed if he is of the long fur variety !

Accion-Del-Sol News

Press release supplied by Karen Clack

Petra

This lovely little dog is Petra who is a very good companion and best friend to Lana Bellamy who came to visit Accion Del Sol recently, Lana was amazed by the first class refuge and she had a  great time playing with the puppies and viewing the kennels. Lana very kindly made a very generous gift to Accion Del Sol which was very greatly received , many thanks to you Lana.

 The first two weeks in December are going to be a very busy time for Accion el Sol as Jack and Panchito who is a Farabella pony along with Gizmo, Nikki Attree and a few puppies from the refuge will begin the" Accion Del Sol Educational Roadshow ". Educating the children at an early age we believe will help children to understand animals and learn  to respect them aswell as learning basic care , feeding, there needs and to explain to them the difference between two animals. Nikki Attree wrote and designed an excellent training aid in words and pictures which will play a vital role in the educational roadshow see here.  This has been translated into German and Spanish as well as English and it has also been put on Aktion Tiers Website http://www.aktiontier.org/index.php?m=25&id=815  and it is being used at the Aktion Tier Juniors club and it is proving to be a huge success. Nikki has a brought a little humour into a very serious issue of abandoned dogs and there rescue plight which allows the children to learn in a good and interesting way. Accion Del Sols vet will also attend to explain basic veterainary care and feeding as well as explaining the difference in herbivores and carnivores . Accion Del Sol is very committed to there educational programme to try to help the children of the future learn to love and care for there pets hopefully making this a better place for our four legged friends and to make headway in reducing the amount of abandoned dogs here in Tenerife.
 
The Director of Accion Del Sol Marion Köpke De Gonzälez is always happy to show people around the refuge and answer any questions you may have. The refuge is situated at Poligono De Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER the  Parque Eolica where the windmills are. The refuge is open monday - friday 3-6pm so do pop down for a visit. The refuge has seen a large increase in dogs over the last few months so if you are looking for a dog to adopt then please do pay the refuge a visit or call Accion Del Sol on 922778630.  Every dog is micro chipped, pass ported, fully updated with inoculations, sterilised / castrated and ready for new loving homes. Please do come and visit Accion Del Sol and see the amazing good work that they do there. The best care and medical treatment is provided for every dog brought into the refuge. The kennels are spotlessly clean and no flea or fly dare enter the premises !! The dogs are kept in small groups between 2 and up to 6 except for the dogs classed as dangerous dogs which have a kennel each to avoid any arguments. The dogs all arrive terrified and mostly untouchable but within a very short time they soon learn to trust humans again. Accion Del Sol do have some very nice families that do come and walk the dogs in the afternoons, if you would like to volunteer as a dog walker and you have a bit of spare time then please do call the refuge or pop in for a chat . The dogs love to go out and its a good way to get a little bit of extra exercise.
