Amarillo Shelters Overwhelmed, Need Your Help | Amarillo News

Amarillo’s animal shelters are bursting at the seams this summer, with kennels overflowing thanks to a surge of strays and surrendered pets. With 250 dogs and 100 cats currently in care—well beyond capacity—local rescues are urgently calling for adopters. Adopting isn’t just kind; it’s practical: animals come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, saving you money and freeing space for others. You’ll need to be 18, have ID, complete paperwork, and pay a small fee. If adoption’s not possible now, help still matters—volunteer, donate supplies or cash, or support their pet pantry for struggling families. This August, take advantage of the “Clear the Shelters” promotion: adopt adult pets for half price. Last year, they found homes for over 340 animals—and they’re hoping to do even better this time.
