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:

Golden Spread Farmers Market: Panhandle-area farmers harvest their wares every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, delivering it to the market the next morning. (7 a.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until sell-out; 3701 Plains Blvd.; 806-383-1366)
It’s October 1st between 10:00 and 4:00, a “come and go” time to meet and greet.
Hopefully you’ll find a little opportunity to slip over here and see us!
Back to our Open House…we’re located at 3012 SW 26th Avenue, Suite 300 in Cedar Forum. That’s between Georgia and Paramount.
If you’re approaching from Georgia, turn West at Market Street. We’re about 3/4 of the way between there and Paramount, right next to Moss Body Shop. We’re a cluster of cute adobe buildings with each suite having its own little building. Ours is in the 2nd/back row. There are several ways to approach our offices, from the front thru the breezeway, the East side or the back breezeways. It’s not a large complex so you shouldn’t have any difficulty finding us. In the event you do, just give me a call and I’ll come to your rescue! .
I’ve attached our “We’ve Moved” announcement. Hope to see you.
Lots of love & always prayers. Bonnie
