Accepted Donations List
Donate to the SERVPRO of Amarillo Pet Rescue Supply Donation Drive
November 11 - December 20, 2024
The holiday season is right around the corner, and in Amarillo, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we can do to help those in need—especially our furry friends.
This year, SERVPRO of Amarillo is hosting the Fourth Annual Pet Rescue Supply Donation Drive, and we need your help more than ever. Our goal is to collect even more donations than we have in years past, and we can’t do it without the generosity of our community.
Used Items In Need
- Towels
- Blankets / Throws
- Kennels
- Pet Beds
- Sheets
- Pet Toys
Stinky, dusty, seen-better-days items are accepted. All donations will be sanitized before distribution. Don't be shy--bring what you have!
New, Unopened Items Needed
- Cat Food, Dry and Wet
- Dog Food, Dry and Wet
- Treats
Why Your Donation Matters
Every year, more than 500 pounds of blankets, towels, and food are collected and distributed to pets in need, and this year, we’re hoping to exceed that! When you donate, you're helping to comfort shelter pets who may not know the warmth of a loving home just yet. Your contributions will give them something as simple as a soft bed to sleep on or a warm blanket to curl up with—small gestures that could save the lives of many animals.
And don’t worry—if your blankets, towels, or kennels are dirty, that’s okay!
SERVPRO of Amarillo will take care of all the cleaning. We'll ensure everything is sanitized and ready to be distributed to the shelters so you can feel good knowing your donations will be used without any hassle.
It’s Easy to Donate
Simply drop off your donations at one of our donation partner sites across Amarillo.

Pet Shelter Supply Drive 2022
10/18/2022 (Permalink)
Donations will be accepted from November 14 until December 16, 2022.
SERVPRO of Amarillo is asking our neighbors to help us collect used items for homeless shelter pets for the 2022 winter season.
Donations will be accepted from November 14 until December 16, 2022.
When people think about donating to shelters, they think about food and toys. But what about the other items that shelters need to keep their furry residents safe and comfortable?
This winter, also consider donating used blankets, towels, and kennels. Our technicians will sanitize everything donated and then deliver them to needy pet shelters.
As you get out blankets for winter, set some aside for our town's homeless pet shelters.
Accepted Donation Items
- Blankets and Towels of any size, color, or material. Bulky items are welcome! Blankets and towels can be used to line kennels and provide extra warmth for animals that are still outdoors. They can also be used to dry off wet animals after they've been bathed.
- Kennels are essential for keeping animals safe and comfortable at shelters. They provide a space for animals to rest and relax and help keep the shelter clean.
- Unopened Pet Food, wet or dry, bagged or canned for cats or dogs.
By donating items that shelters need this winter, you'll be helping to keep homeless pets safe and comfortable.

Mark and Jana Belew were owners of SERVPRO of West Amarillo for nearly twenty years.
We are pleased to announce that Mark and Jana Belew, previous owners of SERVPRO of West Amarillo, are transitioning to be a part of SERVPRO of Amarillo. Mark Belew is now our company’s head of community involvement.
“I’m thankful to Mark and Jana for this amazing opportunity to continue SERVPRO of West Amarillo,” said Michael Weaver, the company’s new co-owner. “Mark and Jana are beloved members of Amarillo, and they accomplished something few are able to, which is to start and nurture a business for nearly twenty years. I hope we can follow in their footsteps and make them proud.”
Mark added, “For me, it was never about selling a job to someone. It was about talking to them and trying to solve their problem.”
SERVPRO of West Amarillo was founded by Mark and Jana Belew in 2004. During the late summer of 2021, they sold the franchise to Michael and Lily Weaver. Team Weaver is a full-service disaster restoration operator with over 35-years as the owner of various SERVPRO franchises in Texas.
When the Belews and Weavers first began to chat about the future of SERVPRO in Amarillo, Jana remembered meeting Michael as a young child. She said, “Michael’s father, Billy, came to help us on a large fire loss in our first year of business, so it is only fitting that Michael and Lily take over the Amarillo franchise.”
“Jana called me ‘Little Michael’ back then,” Michael laughed.
Jana added, “We are happy to join with a second-generation SERVPRO franchise owner to continue our services. Michael and Lily truly understand the restoration industry, and they will continue the level of service we have provided our customers.”
Mark Belew has agreed to stay on board with SERVPRO of Amarillo.
“I look forward to working with Michael and Lily and their team over the next year,” said Mark. “I will make sure they have a smooth and seamless transition into the Texas Panhandle.”
“When Mark said yes to staying on, we were very happy,” said Lily Weaver. “He’s a great guy and has a long list of ideas for us to improve SERVPRO’s care of Amarillo. We’re listening closely and learning everything we can from him. His experience is invaluable.”
SERVPRO of Amarillo will continue a longstanding tradition the Belew family had with the Amarillo’s Children Home; they will continue to offer complimentary carpet cleanings in honor of Mark and Jana. Adding to their focus on Amarillo’s youth, they have also started a new sponsorship with the Amarillo Wranglers of the North American Hockey League.
“We are very excited that Michael and Lily will continue to support the Amarillo Children’s Home along with their sponsorship of the Amarillo Wranglers Junior Hockey Club,” Mark said. “They are focusing on helping the youth of the Texas Panhandle, and that’s a great mission to have.”
SERVPRO of Amarillo began its first full week of operations in late August 2021. Along with continuing all previous services offered, they are also adding new service lines like full-service, insurance-backed construction, and mold remediation.
They also have a big day scheduled for later this year, when Mark will have to do good on a promise he made the company was acquired.
“Mark promised to run around downtown wearing a Speedo,” Lily said. “He has to keep his promise, doesn’t he? Everyone at the office knows about it, and we’ll all be there with our cameras, that’s for sure.”
After almost two decades of running SERVPRO in Amarillo, the Belews still have a lot more planned.
“We are proud to have served the people of the Texas Panhandle for 17 years,” Jana said. “We plan to travel to see more of the United States and keep making great memories.”
“It has been a true pleasure to serve the people of Amarillo and the Panhandle over the Last 17 years,” Mark added. “We truly want to thank each and every one of our customers for allowing us to work to make it "Like it never even happened."
SERVPRO is Ready for Wrangler Hockey!

SERVPRO of Amarillo is a 2021-2022 sponsor for the NAHL's Amarillo Wranglers.
SERVPRO is Ready for Amarillo Wrangler Hockey!
SERVPRO of Amarillo is excited to be a sponsor for the Amarillo Wranglers for the club's inaugural 2021-2022 season.
"When we saw the Wranglers start their hockey club in Amarillo, we knew we wanted to be there for them," said Michael Weaver, owner of SERVPRO of Amarillo. "We love hockey, and helping our community's youth is also one of our passions. Austin Sutter knows this about this, and he put together great events for SERVPRO to be a part of this season."
SERVPRO of Amarillo will be a sponsor for the Wrangler's youth outreach program including the club's house team.
"The Wranglers hockey club, the Amarillo Ice Ranch, and the local ice sports programs are extremely blessed to have a company like SERVPRO in the Texas Panhandle, whose leadership understands the value of giving back to the community it serves," said Austin Sutter, Owner and President of the Amarillo Wranglers. "SERVPRO instills the West Texas values of hard work, integrity, and service leadership. We are beyond excited to be their partners.
Lily Weaver, owner of SERVPRO of Amarillo added, "We're excited and thankful to be a sponsor for the Wranglers and support the Ice Ranch. The organization has already done an amazing job putting the team together this summer. It's going to be a great season!"
SERVPRO of Amarillo is owned and operated by Michael and Lily Weaver. Mark Belew, the previous owner of SERVPRO of West Amarillo, has stayed on with Team Weaver to be Amarillo's head of community involvement. "I'm very happy SERVPRO is involved with this great team. Amarillo is a hockey town, and everyone is ready for the season to start," Mark said. "We'll be following the Wranglers closely and will be there to cheer them on."
The Wranglers are Amarillo's newest NAHL team. Keep up with the team at AmarilloHockey.com, Facebook, and Twitter.
Firework Season is Upon us

Fireworks stands will be open soon!
Firework Season is Upon us
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said in their 2019 report that 180 people per day had to make a trip to the ER for injuries related to fireworks. Usually fingers and hands, then legs, 34 percent were on the head (19 % in the eyes!). Sparklers, always a favorite, burn at 2000 degrees says the National Safety Council. Adult supervision should always accompany the use of fireworks.
Fireworks go on sale June 24th through July 4th and then again December 20th through January 1st
Grills also carry a fire danger, as we who live near Fritch know. Some tips for grill safety:
- Keep it clean! Fat drippings are flammable
- Don’t leave your grill unattended
- Keep the grill away from the home, deck railings, and from under eaves and tree branches.
- And most important in our area…be smart about grilling in the wind
The summer season should be a time to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Take precautions to prevent putting a damper on your summer months!
SERVPRO© of West Amarillo 806-331-4555 is "Ready for whatever happens." You can be too this summer.
