Amarillo has a huge pet population and because of that our shelters at times are busting at the seams with animals. Animals that have been abandoned, surrendered or animals that have just gotten lost. We as citizens have to do better and be more responsible with our animals.
Pets are the most amazing things in this world. They are our family and we love them. When we lose them it breaks our hearts. But, when someone heartlessly takes our pets from us, then we are left with heartache, anger and disbelief. Now a sweet girl is dealing with all those feeling.
We love our city,but sometimes the bad news of our city takes over. A SWAT team got called out on a domestic violence call, another wreck took a a life, another shooting happened. That's what we seem to hear daily. However, it is a breath of fresh air when we hear about our APD officers doing something kind and sweet.
When you have a pet, they become a part of your family. No one wants to think about losing their pet and that's why getting them microchip is a great idea. If they get lost, then any vet, shelter, etc can scan them and find you!
If you have been looking for a great volunteer opportunity, but you don't know if you can commit to a long term then we just might have the right opportunity for you. This is something the entire family can be involved in. First of all, you must love animals. You need to have love and compassion and you'll need to be ready to give scratches, belly rubs and more.
