The aphs promotes humane education and proper pet care and responsibility to the citizens of the texas panhandle. Most of the animals available for adoption through the aphs shelter are transferred from the amarillo animal management and welfare department shelter. Our goal is to eliminate the needless euthanasia of adoptable animals through educating the public on spaying and neutering and through adoptions at our shelter. During the calendar year 2016 2,622 adoptions were handled by our staff and approximately 2,500 animals were sent to rescue.
