Nicolette

I am a lady who loves to go for good long walks but the Texas weather can be a bit too much at times for me so I love a good cold floor to lay on when it's just too hot outside. I enjoy riding in cars and being with my human friends but I am respectful and try not to la. . .

  • Happy Senior Citizens Day! 💛🐾 In celebration of this day, we wanted to share this heartwarming update from ADL alumni, Ethel who was one of our senior pets adopted in 2017 through our Seniors for Seniors program. What is ADL’s Seniors for Seniors program all about? Many studies have proven that pet ownership is commonly known to reduce loneliness and stress while improving the overall well-being and happiness of senior citizens. ADL’s Seniors for Seniors program allows seniors who are 60 years or older to adopt a qualifying senior dog or cat at no cost, giving participants the chance to discover the joys of having a furry friend in their lives! If you're interested in adopting a senior pet, check out our "oldies but goodies" page on website at ADLtexas.org to see a list of pets who qualify! #SeniorCitizensDay #SeniorPets #animaldefenseleague #satx #sanantonio #adoptdontshop #happytails
  • 🐾IT’S WIGGLE & WAG WEDNESDAY!🐾Visit ADL to find your new wiggly and tail wagging best friend! Waived adoption fees for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens! Going on August 21st at our main campus and the Paul Jolly Center for Pet Adoptions. #adoptADL #adoptdontshop #satx #sanantonio #animaldefenseleague
  • We had an amazing adoption weekend during Clear the Shelters! We sent a total of 124 pets home! One of those adoptions we’d like to highlight is Hercules who had been at ADL for 506 days. Some of you donated to Hercules' surgery fund to repair his injury from a bullet, he spent many months recovering, was in and out of foster care, and now we’re happy to announce that this sweet boy is finally home! ❤️ Thank you to our volunteers, Telemundo San Antonio, News 4 San Antonio, and everyone who helped spread the word about #ClearTheshelters. A big thank you to all who gave a shelter pet the chance to become part of their family. Remember when you adopt you actually save 2 lives, the one you adopt, and the next animal in need that you open space for. #adoptdontshop #DesocuparlosAlbergues #adoptadl #shelterpetsrock #thankyou
  • Wow! Our adoption center has been packed all day for #ClearTheShelters! Thank you to everyone who came out to adopt! We really want our other pets who who are still waiting to find their forever homes to go home too! That’s why, tomorrow on Sunday, August 18th, we’ll still be waiving adoption fees when you make a monetary donation for our dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. So if you missed your chance Saturday, come out Sunday and give one of our pets a chance to become part of your family! #adoptdontshop #satx #adoptADL
