Elderly female dog abandoned on the side of the road in Chimiche

Reference number (ID):
V-L4D-16563

On 04.02.2025 I was driving back from a walk in the industrial zone in Granadilla towards El Rio near Arico. After I had left the highway at the exit Chimiche / El Rio / Las Maretas and continued on the parallel road to El Rio, I saw a dog right by the finca on the side of the road.

At first I thought that the dog belonged to the finca and had possibly run away. So I stopped and immediately realized that the dog had not run away, but had been deliberately abandoned. She was completely frightened and confused.

I then called 112 and asked for assistance from the local police. I then contacted the Arche Noah, who offered to collect the dog and take her to the Tenerife Horse Rescue shelter.

The dog is currently in good hands with Tenerife Horse Rescue and is being taken care of.
