AMARILLO – The City of Amarillo Animal Management and Welfare Department (AAMW) is making it easier for lost pets to find their way home – without ever stepping foot in a shelter.

On Saturdays in October, AAMW is offering free pet microchipping.

Microchipping is a key tool in reuniting pets with families. Each chip provides essential information, allowing lost animals to be quickly identified and returned to owners, bypassing the need for a shelter stay.

The free microchipping service will be available on Saturdays during regular business hours (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at the AAMW facility, located at 3501 S. Osage. Additionally, AAMW officers can microchip pets in the field upon request. Residents may speak with an AAMW officer for more details.

“Microchipping is an invaluable resource for pet owners,” said AAMW Outreach Manager Samantha Bennett. “It ensures that if a pet is lost, it can be swiftly returned to its family, reducing the chances of the pet being in a shelter.”

No appointments are necessary and walk-ins are welcome. The process is quick and easy, taking less than five minutes.
