Owner Surrender Process

At Amarillo-Panhandle Humane Society, we are committed to assisting both owned and stray/found animals in collaboration with our existing commitment to shelter animals. Please note that owner surrender applications without a follow-up email containing photos/videos within 7 days will be automatically rejected.

Due to the volume of requests we receive and our active networking efforts with multiple shelters, we regretfully cannot provide individual updates. However, rest assured that if you have provided the requested materials, we are actively networking on behalf of your pet. We will reach out to you if a suitable placement is found.

In the event that you find placement for your pet independently, please inform us promptly. This allows us to allocate our resources effectively and focus our networking efforts on animals currently in need.

As a foster-based organization without a facility, we are unable to commit to any animal without appropriate plans in place. However, we strive to support owners in keeping their pets whenever possible. Through our partnership with Good Pup Training, we offer assistance to address behavioral issues that may arise. By using our link to Good Pup Training, you will receive 1 week of free training and a 10% discount if you choose to continue with their services.

Additionally, our pet pantry initiative helps alleviate the financial burden of pet ownership by providing food assistance.

Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we work together to make a difference in the lives of animals in need.

Thank you for considering Amarillo-Panhandle Humane Society for your pet's welfare.
