This month’s partner organization is the Animal Defense League of Texas, a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to help San Antonio’s stray dogs and cats.

ADL is a true no-kill shelter, which means animals are never euthanized if they can be treated and returned to health. No animal is ever euthanized to make room for others. The mission of the Animal Defense League is to enhance the quality of life for abandoned, abused, or neglected animals by providing needed medical care, food, shelter, and safety along with compassion and attention. They provide a number of services, including:

• Sheltering animals, regardless of their conditions when they arrive
• Complete medical treatment for all resident animals
• Full-time veterinary staff
• Low-cost spay and neuter program for pets of low-income families
• Humane education programs
• Adoption services to help resident animals find forever homes
