We all love a change of scenery, and that includes our dogs too. They love to get out and go for a walk. Although they have a large play area, the dogs adore meeting new people, and taking their new human friends for walks outside.
Everyone is welcome, but children must be accompanied by an adult.
If you are new to dog walking, it's always advisable to wear sensible shoes or trainers, and a hat. Make sure you have water to drink, although soft drinks are available at the refuge for a donation of 1 euro.
Please also remember to walk at a safe distance from others, if you are walking dogs who are not with their kennel mates.
If you have any concerns about walking a dog who you feel may be too big for you to handle, please don't hesitate to tell the kennel staff. We want you to enjoy the experience.
Come along and make a new furry friend, and keep fit at the same time. Our dog walking times are between 9am and 1pm. We can be found near Parque de la Reina, 38627, Arona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Where we areWe are always looking for animal-loving flight chaperones, who are ready to accompany a dog from Tenerife to their new, forever homes in Holland, Italy, Germany, Mainland Spain, and other destinations.
Let us stress that being a flight chaperone incurs NO cost to you for the animal. It's a very simple process, and all the arrangements and costs for the dog are made and paid for by us.
A Live PAWS representative will meet you with the dog, just before check-in at the airport, and will check in the dog at the same time as you check in your luggage.
Depending on the size of the dog, it will fly in the air-conditioned hold of the aircraft, or, if you prefer, and it is small enough, in the cabin with you.
At the destination airport, you collect your luggage from the conveyor belt, and then the box and the dog from the bulky-luggage counter. A Live PAWS representative will be waiting in arrivals to greet you, and take the pet from you. It's as simple as that!
Being a flight chaperone means the dogs can get to their new homes quicker, often if you are going at short notice we can arrange a corresponding flight.
Dogs need to live in a clean environment, and they need daily care, 7 days a week. No matter what the weather, we are there every day to make sure they get everything they need. They love their routine.
Their kennels need to be cleaned every day, medicine given if required, food and clean water. If you want to discover the joy of caring for them, come and visit us at the shelter.
Some of our dogs need a foster home rather than adoption - whether that's a few quiet weeks recovering from surgery, or a permanent, loving home for a dog the team believes may never be adopted. Vet bills, vaccinations, and worm treatment are all covered by us; many foster carers bring their own food, though we provide that too.
Have you ever thought about having fun and helping the dogs at the same time? Hosting events is a great way to do this. But hosting is just a part of it, especially if you have the skills to make crafts or donate items for raffles. Every penny helps.
If you want to host a fundraising event on behalf of Live Paws, please contact us with the details. Alternatively, if you would like to make crafts or donate items for raffles etc, we would be more than happy to receive them. We can use them at our organised events to raise funds.
You can also drop off donated items at our Charity Shop - everything sold there goes straight back into caring for our dogs.
