Hey there, I'm Amelia, and I'm excited to share my journey with you. As you can see from my picture, I was quite nervous when I first arrived, but let me tell you, I've come a long way since then. I'm already showing everyone my true colors, and I can't wait to find a family who will appreciate my happy and silly personality. Change can be a bit intimidating for me, and it takes me some time to adjust to new people and situations. But once I feel safe and secure, I'm ready to explore the world with all the curiosity and wonder that fills my heart. I just need a patient and understanding family who will give me the time and space I need to build my confidence.
I'm eager to learn and grow, and with the right guidance, I know I can become a brave and confident dog. A family who will gently introduce me to new experiences and help me overcome my fears would be a dream come true. It's important for me to have the freedom to explore at my own pace, as that's when I feel most comfortable and can truly shine.
Despite my initial nervousness, I have so much love to give!

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.
