My story

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

Hey, I`m Tortoise! I might come off shy, but once we’re friends, we’re friends for life! Even though I haven’t had the easiest start to life, I don’t let that stop me. I make the best out of whatever comes my way! Everytime I see one of my friends, I can’t hold in my excitement, I just want to say “HIII!” I love everyone I meet even if it takes me a little bit to warm up. I absolutely love humans! I would love to have a cozy home where I can learn to live in a house since I`m not really sure what living in a home is like. My ideal home is one where I can be the only dog because I want all the attention on me and where I can get comfortable and show you how silly I can be. My favorite things are playing tag with my human friends, playing in water, playing with stuffed toys, and watching those nasty squirrels tease me! If my personality makes you fall in love just wait until you see my cool turtle shell marking on my back!
Yours truly,
Tortoise!

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.
