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.

🚨Urgent Long Term Fosters or Adopters Needed By 12/29!🚨

Fox 🐾
Female (Spayed) / 11-Month-Old / Shepherd Mix
Location: Andrews Center
This sweet girl has spent over 290 long days in the shelter, still waiting for someone to see her, choose her, and give her the love she deserves. She is playful, gentle, and full of heart. She loves playing fetch, soaking up affection, and simply being by your side. While she can be a little shy at first—still puppy-like in her ways—it doesn’t take long at all for her to warm up and show just how loving she truly is.

Sadly, after so much time in the shelter, her quality of life has begun to decline. She needs a lifesaver by 12/29—someone willing to open their heart and give her the chance she’s been hoping for.
For households with resident pets 5 months or older, a meet and greet is required. Can you save this sweetheart?

Major (Thomas) #230427
Female / 1-Year-Old / Belgian Malinois Mix
Location: Andrews Center
This beautiful girl has been waiting at the shelter for over 200 days—and her heart is feeling it. The shelter has taken a toll on her, not due to any fault of her own, but because she yearns for more than this environment can offer. She longs for enrichment, daily exercise, and a loving companion to call her own. She walks nicely on a leash and loves to play—she’s gentle, respectful, and eager to connect. If you’d like to learn more about her story, please reach out to us today. She needs a lifesaver by 12/29.

For households with resident pets 5 months or older, a meet and greet is required. Can you save this gorgeous dog?
