Living Off-Grid with 400+ Animals: The Sustainable Animal Rescue in Tenerife!

In this heartwarming and inspiring video, we take you inside an incredible animal rescue center in Tenerife, where over 400 animals are cared for by a dedicated team of 40 volunteers. Living off-grid and striving for self-sufficiency, this rescue center survives by living a freegan lifestyle—relying on food waste from local supermarkets to feed the animals and volunteers.

But that’s not all! Watch as they build a brand new track system for horses, a project that’s sponsored by none other than the manager of Ed Sheeran. The center is also renowned for turning waste wood into new homes and creating a sustainable environment with almost zero waste.

The challenges of running an animal rescue center are immense, especially when complicated paperwork makes the process feel almost impossible. But the volunteers and staff push forward, doing everything they can to provide the best possible care for the animals.

Living in a cave might sound unusual, but it’s part of the off-grid lifestyle they’ve embraced in their mission to save lives while staying self-sufficient.

One of the most memorable moments? Saying goodbye to the animals they’ve cared for—an emotional experience that highlights the deep bond formed between the rescuers and the animals they help.

Join us in exploring what it really takes to live sustainably and care for animals in one of the most challenging and rewarding environments imaginable.
