AMARILLO – The City of Amarillo (COA) Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare Department (AAMW) is again joining the national campaign to help pet adoption – NBC’s Clear the Shelters initiative.
Clear the Shelters runs from Aug. 10 through Sept. 30.
This will be the 10th year for the campaign nationally – with more than 1 million animals adopted across the country during Clear the Shelters in 2023.
“Clear the Shelters is a wonderful program that really helps increase public awareness of pet adoption,” said AAMW Outreach Coordinator Samantha Bennett. “We look forward to participating in this event every year. It really helps highlight the need in the Amarillo community for pet adoption, in addition to the many services provided here at AAMW.”
AAMW is providing a Clear the Shelters special throughout August. Adoption fees for dogs are $25 and cats are $5. Fees include spaying/neutering, vaccinations and micro-chipping. Specific information regarding animals available for adoption at AAMW (including photos, breed, age, etc.) is available online at:

Author to sign copies of new book ‘The
Porcelain Promise’ Sept. 8
Texas Panhandle native Jordan Reed will be sign-
ing copies of his newly released second book/ “The
Porcelain Promise,” Sunday, Sept. 8, from 1to 4 p.m.
in Golden Rose Tea Room, 3314Oleson, Suite B.
“The Porcelain Promise,” released Aug. 24, is the
second book in Jordan’s Zane Vrexon Mystery series.
The first book, “The Wizard’s Brew; was released in
2022 and was a finalist for the 2023 Killer Nashville
Falchion Award. In “Promise,” Detective Zane Vrexon
and former professor of magic Alyssa Benedictus re-
turns to the ashy, smoggy streets of Alviun to investi-
gate a doctor whose prosthetic limbs seem to move
like magic. Possibly illegal magic. Zane and Alyssa
must uncover the doctor’s secret but doing so will re-
quire help from Zane’s ever-present Shadow, a trou-
bled entity who knows more about what’s powering
the limbs than he lets on. Doc’s endgame is darker.
than Zane and Alyssa could have ever imagined.
Reed graduated from West Texas A&MUniversity
with a degree in engineering technology and still re-
sides in the Texas Panhandle. For more information
