Palm Valley Animal Society

Palm Valley Animal Society Palm Valley Animal Society (PVAS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, lifesaving leader in the Rio Grande Valley In May 2016, The Laurie P.

Palm Valley Animal Society (PVAS) was founded in 1974 as the Upper Valley Humane Society. The facility, then operated by and located in McAllen, was turned over to the Humane Society by the City of McAllen to carry out the entire operation and functions of the municipal animal facility. In 1981, the Upper Valley Humane Society received a donation of 2.5 acres of land located at 2501 W Trenton Rd i

n Edinburg. This encouraged the subsequent purchase of the adjacent 2.5 acres for 5 acres. Contributions from the surrounding cities and donations from local citizens ($50,000 from Bob Sobel and $100,000 from L.L. Rowan) secured construction on this land, and the facility opened on October 31st, 1983, with 56 dog runs and 60 cat kennels. After much deliberation and consideration, our Board of Directors determined that it would be in the organization's best interest to make significant changes. As a result of these changes, we changed our name from the Upper Valley Humane Society to Palm Valley Animal Center in 2007. Since our inception, we have grown from receiving several hundred animals a year, with 22 dog runs and 9 cat kennels, to receiving more than 40,000 animals a year, with 350 dog runs and 185 cat kennels. Our staff has grown from a few volunteer helpers to over 100 trained professionals. Serving the community for 50 years, our commitment to animals has never wavered, and we look forward to our next 50 years of lifesaving. In 2015, after extensive research and planning, the PVAS Board of Directors broke ground for a new adoption and education facility with the support of community leaders. Andrews Center opened its doors and has been breaking adoption records for Palm Valley Animal Society ever since.

Fishy urgently needs a foster or forever home before time runs out. This sweet soul has been waiting for someone to see their worth and give them the second chance they deserve.
Shelter life can be overwhelming, but Fishy continues to hold onto hope. With love, patience, and a safe place to decompress, Fishy has the potential to truly blossom outside of the kennel environment.

A foster could save Fishy’s life. Even a temporary home would provide comfort, stability, and the opportunity to show just how loving and deserving they truly are.
Please consider fostering, adopting, or sharing Fishy’s story. Every share matters, and the right person could be the reason Fishy gets the happy ending they’ve been waiting for. 🐶🦴

Dennis urgently needs a foster or forever home before his time runs out. He deserves the chance to leave the shelter behind and finally experience safety, comfort, and love.

Despite the stress of kennel life, Dennis remains a sweet, loyal, and loving dog who simply wants someone to believe in him. He has so much love left to give and would thrive in a calm environment where he can decompress and feel secure.
Right now, Dennis needs a hero. A foster can save his life and give him the opportunity to show just how wonderful he truly is. Even a temporary home could make all the difference.

Please consider fostering, adopting, or sharing Dennis’ story. Time is critical, and he cannot wait much longer. 🐾❤️

Meet Linguine & Bucatini, two beautiful brothers patiently waiting for their new chapters outside the shelter. Both these charmers could use some attention and patience to help them develop social skills, and allow them to grow. They were a little timid during our photoshoot, but with a little patience and a couple treats we we're able to capture these award winning smiles 📸

Thank you to Dogs Playing For Life for bringing new lessons, game plans & dog-behavioral monitoring techniques to our staff!💛🐾

Dogs Playing for Life is a nonprofit with a mission to enhance the quality of life of shelter dogs to increase life-saving. Their programs are featured at international animal welfare conferences and implemented by shelters nationwide!

We learned about reading dog group-behaviors, how to watch for escalating interactions, but also learned to allow the dogs their own space to correct each other to gain confidence and become more secure in their surroundings, ultimately leading to a higher quality of life while inside the shelter.

Today, under supervision, our hardworking staff brought out a total of 60 dogs to playgroups with more than a dozen dogs together at one time! Thank you, Dogs Playing For Life!💛🐾
