By San Antonio Current Staff
The Animal Defense League of Texas, a no-kill shelter located 11300 Nacogdoches Road, has several dogs that are currently looking for a forever home. Check out the dogs that are currently available and just try saying no to adopting one of these cuties. It's basically impossible.

"I know Im a handsome boy and people naturally gravitate towards me. Its rough for me though, because I dont know how to handle attention from humans. I get very shy and bashful. You can pick me up and Ill probably freeze and remain stiff in your arms. I break out of my shell when Im around other dogs, but I dont want to be so timid around people anymore. Im going to need a very loving and patient person in my life to teach me how to open up and relax. Im sure within time, I will loosen up in my forever home. Do you have it in your heart to provide that special home for me?"
"Im often told that Im beautiful. I hope you agree! When I first arrived to ADL about 98% of my hair was gone due to demodex mange. It wasnt easy for me to deal with, but Im so happy that the hospital staff at ADL helped me get through it. Now its hardly noticeable that I was ever missing hair. Thats why I like to show off my beautiful coat and beneath this coat is a big heart! Im sweeter than the marmalade fruit preserves and have an instinct to shower everyone with hugs and kisses. Overall, Im a joyous gal to have around! I prefer to be the only furbaby in a home but if another dog is calm enough, Id probably be okay with sharing a home with them. I hope to find someone that will love me forever and I hope that person will be you!"
"Youve heard that Australian cattle dogs are smart, right? Well, I am, I can tell you that. Im just a puppy, and a pretty typical one at that, full of playfulness and affection above all else, but when I went to have my picture taken I had a chance to show off my brains. They put this thing around my neck that wasnt a regular leash it was a loop and leash together so when I tried to run ahead it got tighter. It surprised me and then I refused to move. But then the nice lady called me and I came to her and I realized that if I walked nicely near her the loop stayed loose. So right away I learned how to use it and we had a good time. See how fast I learn? Wouldnt you love a smart puppy like me?"
"Im a bit on the enthusiastic side, but thats only because Im such a happy boy. I love everyone and everything and I love to show it. I know life is great because Ive been with the same family my whole life, but now they are moving and they cant take me with them. So they brought me here and promised me Id find another great family that would love me like they did. I get along well with other dogs and kids, Ive had training and I sit and fetch, I dont bark a lot. Im a good boy and Im really excited about my new life. So, when do we start?"
"Bet you can guess how I got my name. Yup, I was found on a freeway. Being a dog, without much of a memory, I dont know if I ran away or was let loose or what, but there I was, on Loop 410, a pretty scary place for a smallish dog like me. Fortunately, a kind human rescued me and brought me here to find a forever home. I do love to run and play, but Im quite calm and sweet when Im visiting with people. I give nice kisses, and I seem to do well with children. All I want is another chance to be a family dog. I hope youll give it to me."
"I am indeed lucky to have such magnificent ears, dont you think? Not to mention such unique markings on my handsome face. But as they say, beauty is only skin deep; personality goes all the way through, and I am full of it. At least I heard someone say Im full of it anyway, Im an energetic young dog and I can be a handful on the leash, but Im getting better at learning to calm down when Im supposed to. I really want to be good so I can find my forever home and earn my name in every way."
"m sure that youll instantly gravitate towards my welcoming personality. Im affectionate, friendly, and playful. Im all smiles when Im around a crowd of folks. I get along with almost everyone such as kids and dogs. If youre looking for a happy companion to be active with, then please give me a chance to impress you. Come by and visit me!"
"Beagles are known for their energy, and even though Im only part beagle, Im no exception. Im a very playful boy with lots of get-up-and-go, and even though Im 8, Ill keep you young at heart like I am. But Im also a lover, known for my sweetness. Any time youre sitting, Im likely to hop into your lap and start kissing your face. The only thing I dont love is cats. Thats just the way it is. I sure would love to have a forever home where I could play and love and be loved again."
"Im full of friendliness and fun! Id be more than happy to go for a stroll in the park with you, but hold on tight because I sometimes forget how strong I can be. Especially if I spot a cat, its probably best to keep me away from those critters. Im also a curious one, so I like to inspect my surroundings while Im out on the grounds. I do well in a vehicle so if you want to take me for a ride, Ill jump in with no problem. If you feed me snacks, Ill very gently take them from your hand. I like kids so I would make a great family pet! I hope that I can find that family to take me home soon!"
"If you look in the dictionary under puppy, you might find a picture of me. Im about as typical a puppy as there is. When Im on the ground, I want to run around and play and put everything in my mouth. When you get near me, I want to jump on you and kiss you and love you and make sure you dont leave me. Im soft and lovable and sweet and adorable and once you meet me you wont ever want to leave me either. At least I hope you dont, because I want to go home and be somebodys puppy. Please?"
