Mission Statement
“A scar is a sign of strength. . . The sign of a survivor”
SCAR was created in 2020 to give the homeless dogs and cats of the Texas Panhandle a second chance. We rescue animals from the high kill shelters across the region and place in loving foster homes. Once there, they are provided veterinary care, spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped ready for a new forever home. We are staffed completely by volunteers, we rely on them, our fosters, and donations to continue our work.
- Veterinary care
- Spayed or neutered
- Fully vaccinated
- Microchipped
Adopt. Don't shop.
When you adopt, you're not just giving a deserving pet a home. You're also reducing the demand for puppy mills and backyard breeding. When you adopt from SCAR, you are contributing to a lower city euthanasia rate.
Fostering Saves Lives
Fostering is free. We provide all you need to care for your temporary furry friend. Without fosters, we can’t save lives. SCAR is 100% foster based. With more fosters, we can save more city shelter animals. Find a pet in the city shelter you would like to save? Reach out to us! We can pull that little one to safety and into your care. Puppies, like Rocky pictured here, depend on us to be their voice. If you won’t, then who? Help us save more cats and dogs. It is easy as 1, 2, and 3!
Snip, Tip, Hooray!
A NEW chapter for SCAR!As much as we love doing adoptions and finding wonderful forever homes for our dogs and cats, we know that adoption alone isn’t going to solve the problem. We can adopt and transport all day long, but until we get to the root of the issue, we will always be fighting an uphill battle.
There are too many animals and not enough homes.
SCAR TNR Program
That’s why we are so excited to introduce Snip, Tip, Hooray! our new Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program, launched in conjunction with SCAR of Amarillo!
By helping spay and neuter community cats, we can prevent unwanted litters, reduce the number of homeless animals, and make a lasting difference right here in our community.
We are incredibly happy to finally be able to give back in another way to the community that has supported us throughout our rescue journey. And this is just the beginning!
Want to volunteer or donate supplies for Snip, Tip, Hooray?
sniptiphooray26@gmail.comOne of our biggest fundraisers of the year, Panhandle Gives, will play a huge role in making these programs possible. And here’s the exciting part: 100% of everything raised will go directly toward supporting these 2 programs.
We cannot do this alone.
It takes a community, a village, and people who believe that every animal deserves a chance.
Whether you adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, or simply share our posts, you are part of the reason we can keep moving forward.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for believing in us, supporting us, and helping us make a difference.
Together, we can change lives, one animal at a time.
Sometimes the biggest difference we make isn’t just finding an animal a home… it’s preventing another animal from needing one.
To do so, we need you!
As a nonprofit, SCAR relies on community donations to help the animals of our city.
We want to help every animal and person that needs our services.
If you would like your donation to be used on a specific pet or cause, feel free to make a note in your donation.
