FREE Spay & Neuter Surgeries Available for Potter County Residents within Amarillo City Limits
Amarillo Animal Management & Welfare (AMW) is offering free spay and neuter surgeries for qualifying pets through a Texas Department of State Health Services Animal Friendly Grant.
This program is separate from AMW's existing voucher program and provides surgeries through a partnership with the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine.
Eligibility Requirements:
• Must be a Potter County resident within Amarillo city limits (proof of residency required)
• Maximum of four pets per household
• Pets must be at least three months of age or older
• Services are available by appointment only
The grant specifically allows funding for qualifying Potter County residents within Amarillo city limits and aims to provide free surgeries for cats and dogs through August 2026.
Appointment availability is limited and will be filled on a first-available basis. Residents interested in participating should contact AMW to determine eligibility and be added to the appointment schedule. To help staff efficiently process requests, please use only one method of communication when requesting an appointment. An AMW staff member will respond with next steps and scheduling information.
