Tenerife Horse Rescue

As we are in the process of expanding our sanctuary, our attention is turning to the creation of an education centre, veterinary clinics and more places where we can facilitate workshops. We want to provide a venue for visiting schools, clubs and societies interested in animal welfare and sustainability and continue to spread the message of how important these concepts are in our ever growing and changing world. 

Unfortunately, the laws concerning animal welfare are well in need of reform in Spain, and the challenge comes from changing the mindsets of the local communities; if the law does not back up a situation where an animal is in dire need of help, then it is difficult to make progress. 

Our focus will be on a slow and steady reach out of positive reinforcement, trying to encourage the locals here to WANT to change the laws themselves through education, and start to make changes from the ground up. 

In the short term, our impact is threefold;

One - Rescuing as many animals as we are able to do so, while ensuring that all have sufficient access to what they need to not only survive, but to thrive.

Two - Living in a way that is as sustainable as possible and true to our message, to save the planet and limit our impact to the best of our ability.

Three - Working and succeeding together as a community, appreciating each others uniqueness, respecting each other and working together in a way that puts our best interests at the forefront of everything we do; our commitment to the lives of the animals in our care.
