Pet Rescues

If you’re looking to add a new member to your family or want to give back to the island community, the Canary Islands have a dedicated network of animal rescues and charities. From large shelters in Tenerife and Gran Canaria to smaller, volunteer-run groups on La Palma and El Hierro, these organizations do vital work in rehoming abandoned animals. This list serves as a starting point for anyone interested in pet adoption, fostering, or volunteering. Please contact the rescues directly to learn about their specific adoption processes and how you can support their mission.
