My name is Wendy Patterson. I am the founder of Scout’s Street Smart Rescue, a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization, in Amarillo, TX. When I moved to Amarillo in 2018, I was absolutely shocked at the amount of homeless, abandoned, owner-surrendered, and injured dogs and puppies. The numbers were, and still are, staggering.

My mission is two-fold. One, to rescue and to get these animals’ immediate needs met. Their needs range anywhere from immediate medical intervention to getting fosters lined up. So, when they’re ready, they can be placed in their approved adoptive homes. Secondly, my mission is to go into our community to provide basic health care needs. I will provide Parvo Distemper shots, Bordetella shots, and microchips and I will try to educate the community as much as possible, by providing educational pet health and welfare materials.

My goal is to continue recruiting volunteers and team leaders in all areas, based on statistical needs.

Scout’s Street Smart Rescue will be one of the leading, progressive rescues in the Panhandle. I have no doubts.

We aren’t just moving dogs; we are truly committed to assisting the community by helping to address the needs of its residents.

I am determined and designed to be part of the solution.

Together, we will continue making a difference.
