My story

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

Hey there! I’m Ralphie, your soon-to-be favorite playmate with a heart full of fun and curiosity! I absolutely love playing with toys—whether it’s a squeaky ball or a tug rope, I’m always up for some action. I also walk like a pro on a leash, making our outings smooth and enjoyable.

One of my favorite pastimes is hanging out in the play yard, where I can watch the world go by and daydream about all the adventures we could have. I’m a playful soul who enjoys every moment of exploring and discovering new things.

I’d do best in an adult-only home with some dog-savvy people who can help me learn that strangers aren’t so scary. With a little patience and understanding, I’ll show you my sweet and playful side.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s eager to be a part of your life and share in the fun, I’m your guy. Let’s create some unforgettable moments together and make every day an adventure!

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.
