My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there, my name is Jones, and I`m a dog who has had a bit of a rough start. When people come to the shelter to visit, I tend to show terribly in my kennel, and it scares them off. But let me tell you, it`s not because I`m a scary dog - it`s just that I find the shelter a bit scary myself, and I need to put on a brave face to protect myself from strangers.

Once I`m outside of my kennel, though, you`ll see the real me. I`m a smart boy who is well trained and very loyal to the people I love. You could say I`m like a diamond in the ruff - I just need someone to take a chance on me and see past my initial behavior.

I may be an adult dog, but I still have a lot of love to give. I know the ropes and just need a dog-savvy family who is willing to not judge me based on first impressions. Once I get to know you and feel safe, I`ll be your best friend for life.

So if you`re looking for a loyal and smart companion who just needs a chance to shine, please consider taking a chance on me, Jones. I promise, with a little patience and love, I`ll be the best dog you could ever ask for.

More about this shelter

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; and to aid and assist the enforcement of laws enacted for the prevention of animal cruelty.”

In 1961, ADL moved to its present location in the easily accessible northeast part of San Antonio. Its campus encompasses more than 12 acres and includes a two-acre pet park. On the property is an Adoption Center with a small retail store, and a separate 5,000 square-foot Clinic which houses our veterinary hospital that provides onsite spay/neuter surgery, surgery for injured and ill animals, and ongoing medical care for all ADL resident animals.
