My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Barbie is a Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is 8 years of age (DOB: Nov. 2015). Barbie has been patiently waiting for a 'forever' home. Barbie is a good-looking girl, with her brindle-colored coat. She loves car rides and does well on a leash. Once Barbie gets to know you, she enjoys hugs and loves to give kisses. She also likes for you to keep her company when she's eating the last half of her meal. He likes 'people' companionship. Barbie may need to be an 'only' dog (she certainly prefers it that way). She was once a bit aggressive toward other dogs, but has become more sociable in the time she has been at our shelter. This girl is medium sized and has tremendous strength, as do most Pit Bull Terriers. Barbie may need instruction in house training, especially in a new environment. We would suggest crating at night and if left alone during the day. If interested, please call the Amarillo SPCA at 806-622-0555, or visit the shelter at 11901 S. Coulter.

More about this shelter

The Amarillo SPCA is a 501(c)3 non profit organization. We operate solely on donations and fundraisers.

Presently, we operate a shelter for dogs and cats. We have approximately 100 animals housed at the shelter and in foster care.

One of our main concerns is pet over population. It is important that the public be educated about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. It is also our goal to make sure every animal that is adopted from the SPCA is sterilized before going to a new home.

We receive calls daily from people who request help with their animals--either needing to give them up or asking for help with food and medical needs. We help whenever we can, but financially we're not able to help often.

We have grown to the extent that volunteers alone cannot provide necessary hours for operating the kennels. We have a shelter manager and other part time employees for the care of the animals and maintenance of our facility.

Costs for our facility include payroll for these employees, good quality food for the animals, heat and air conditioning, medical treatment for sickness or injury. Additional costs for the animals always include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and sterilization before leaving the shelter to go to new homes. Our vet bills are high and frequently expenses are far more than the adoption fee of $100. Therefore donations are hugely appreciated! We look forward to your contribution and particularly to your interest in one of our dogs or cats as a permanent companion.

Thanks so much, Amarillo SPCA
