Our Mission

The Animal Defense League of Texas (ADL) is a non-profit organization that rescues homeless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, and provides medical treatment, nutrition, and shelter in a safe, live-release facility until they are matched with their forever families. Through community education and empowerment, we advocate for responsible pet ownership.
