My story

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

Hey there friends! The name is Tate, but my friends around here call me "Tater Tot" and "Tater" because I remind them of a potato in the best way possible , probably because of my round fluffy body and sweet personality that makes you feel all happy and mushy inside. Anyways, since we're on the topic of potatoes, I gotta say that I am your ideal couch potato! If you're looking for a laid back dude to cuddle on the couch with while watching movies and eating some snacks, I'm your guy. Even though I am a bit of a lazy guy, I ain't gonna sleep on snuggles! I love to lean my head and sometimes my whole body on you when I want some snuggles. I know I may not be your typical size for a lap dog, but that won't stop me from snuggling (and sometimes even falling asleep!) on your lap. I'm also a sucker for belly rubs, I can't go a day without them! While I'm not extremely active, I do love to zoom every once in a while and I do enjoy a good walk! I've been here for quite a long time, and it's pretty much all because I can be a bit intimidating in my kennel and shy at first with new people. But I promise outside of my kennel I'm a whole lot less scary and with some treats and time I'll be your number one snuggle buddy. I am truly the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for. Please give me a chance to experience having a home of my own.

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.
