Animal Defense League of Texas

Animal Defense League of Texas Established in 1934, the Animal Defense League of Texas (ADL) is the oldest no-kill shelter in South Texas.
(547)

The Animal Defense League was established in 1934 by a group of individuals, “for the prevention of cruelty to animals; to promote kind and humane treatment of animals; to aid and assist the enforcement of laws enacted for the prevention of animal cruelty.”

ADL began with just a few makeshift chicken-wire cages in response to a need to shelter stray and injured dogs and cats in the San Antonio a

rea. Along with providing basic shelter and care, the emphasis has always been placed on adopting animals to homes where they will receive loving care and attention for the rest of their lives. The Animal Defense League is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We rely on grants, individual donors, and corporate support.

The Guardian Angels Club at Central Catholic held an incredible donation drive for us! Thanks to the amazing generosity of your school community, we received an overwhelming amount of pet food, toys, blankets, and supplies for our pets. There was so much, in fact, that we had to make TWO trips because everything wouldn’t fit in our car! ✨🥰

A huge thank you to everyone who donated! You’re making a real difference in the lives of our furry friends in need!

Meet Dolly Parton💖
She is 1-year-old shepherd mix and a distemper survivor who’s ready for the next chapter in her journey: finding a loving furever home!❤️✨

She loves her favorite toys, playing fetch, and the company of other dogs who help her feel safe and confident. If you’d like to meet this sweet girl, stop by our main campus and ask for Dolly Parton 🤠

Meet Chandler! 🌟
Chandler is a lovable 7-year-old Retriever Lab mix with a heart full of joy. He's been part of the ADL family since 2017 and is ready to find his forever home!

This sweet boy is described by his foster family as a "puppy at heart" who adores games of fetch, rolling in the grass, and keeping an eye out for squirrels. 🐾
Chandler would thrive in a calm environment and would be happiest as the only pet in a home with adults or older children.

Email us at [email protected] to schedule a meet-and-greet and see if Chandler is your perfect match this Senior Pet Month! ❤️

Did you know music can work wonders for shelter pets? 🐾

Our pets face big emotions in this environment, and calming tunes can make a huge difference! With a simple CD player or boombox, we can play music that helps them relax.
Relaxed pets = happy pets = better chances at finding forever homes! 🏡❤️

If you have a spare CD player or boom box you'd like to donate you can drop it off at our Main or PJ Campus! Thank you for your support! 😻
