My story

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

Poco is 11 years old and is a German Shepherd; a handsome boy for sure. His owner passed away and our shelter rescued Poco, along with several other dogs and a couple cats. Poco's coat coloring is tri-color (brown/black/white). Poco is sweet and friendly, but somewhat frightened; apprehensive of his new surroundings. He paces in his area in the big dog runs. He certainly may miss his Dad. Poco needs a new 'forever' home where he can get attention and love. He is okay with other large dogs, BUT NEVER WITH SMALL DOGS. We hope you will come meet this 'senior' guy at Amarillo SPCA, 11901 S. Coulter. Our shelter is open Tues.-Sat. from 12 to 5 p.m. Ph: 806-622-0555.

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

Thank you so much,
