Tenerife Horse Rescue
Here at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary (previously known as Tenerife Horse Rescue) we become a big family, many of our volunteers have been here a long time with no plans to leave.
We all look out for each other, share ideas and grow together. Its a real experience here, everything is built from nothing, recycled and from the bin. There are all types of animals and they are everywhere, the location is in a beautiful quiet part of a great island with all year perfect weather.
As long as you are respectful of the community and pull your weight we are like a big family, some new members and some long term. We provide everything we can, all food (freegan lifestyle)
You must love animals and sustainable living to really enjoy this place, we are about great team work, great conversation, great company. We are not a party place.

About the experience in: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Italy
You must be ready to walk if you want to see the island (to reach the bus stop) and you must be ready to find not a vacation at the farm but a community where you feel needed and help by getting your hands dirty! The finca is a lifestyle not suited for everyone, but if it enters your heart it doesn't go away... the people you meet and the animals you help are special. Living on the finca lifts you from all the problems at home and you live lighter and more serene without the stress of normal life! It's an experience I recommend, but it's not for everyone

Working with the garden team was the best decision. Landscaping was our priority around the finca and it was always nice to see the progress at the end of each day. Do not hesitate to join the gardening team because someone also has to take care of the plants. Here you have to cook for yourself and you'll have a huge food storage for that. For me the most impactful activity here was food sorting, getting leftover fruits and vegetables and saving them from getting thrown away making a huge impact on our environment. Here you can truly experience an outstanding lifestyle 🌀

I learned to choose volunteer opportunities more carefully and to accept tasks in accordance with what was agreed. I really like the work this animal rescue farm does.

Thank you for your interest in our sanctuary. Unfortunately, after confirmation, we were not able to proceed with the volunteering since the profile did not fit the needs of the social media position. We wish you much success in future volunteering opportunities.

This place is like a little family and they are transparent with their accommodation before you even arrive. It was not a stressful working environment especially with all the loving cats and dogs that come to you. Message me if you want more details!
