Randall County approves partnership with ASPCA to expand sheltering for strays
Summary
Commissioners approved an agreement enabling the sheriff's office to bring stray animals to an Amarillo-area shelter and to partner with the ASPCA for reunification or transfer. The approval passed unanimously, with sheriff's office staff framing it as a "win-win."
Randall County Commissioner's Court on March 10 approved an agreement to improve sheltering for stray animals by partnering with the ASPCA and a shelter in Amarillo. Sheriff's Office staff told commissioners the arrangement will let deputies transport salvageable animals for reunification and transfer animals the county cannot keep.
Sheriff's Office speakers described the arrangement as a needed regional partnership to address stray-animal volumes from unincorporated areas. "This is a partnership, with the ASPCA," the sheriff said, explaining the county will take animals to the Amarillo shelter and seek to reunify animals with owners when possible. A commissioner called the agreement a "win-win" for residents and animal welfare. The motion to approve was moved and seconded; the court approved the contract by voice vote, 5-0.
