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.

Terrier, Pit Bull mix

Meet Pachamama! A 3 year old Terrier, Pitbull mix, she’s an independent gal who gets along with other dogs but prefers time to herself. She has a mid-to low energy and gets tuckered out quickly when in playgroups; she is non-aggressive and enjoys exploring. Can open your home to Pachamama?

Hello Lillian,
Thank you again so much for keeping Horchata for me until I could get down there. After I lost my sweet red boy cattle dog Payton, I was pretty useless. I tried going dog-less for a couple of weeks, but it was awful. When I saw her photos and talked to your staff, I could tell Horchata would be a perfect fit. She is just as sweet and polite as your staff described. She is getting much more comfortable with a routine in the house and sleeps well through the night. I can’t wait until her heartworm treatments are finished so we can go on adventures together with my little mustang horse who came from very near the same area. Two little Tejana sisters.

We have been to the vet several times already for heartworm treatment guidance. I cook all her meals for her from some veterinarian prepared recipes. She likes steamed sweet potato, and lots of organic beef. Turmeric has become essential in all her foods. She kind of picked that one herself, and it’s her fave. The anti-inflammatory properties are good for her heart as well.

Please make sure Andrew sees this message if you are able. He was very kind in preparing her for her long car ride and even gave her a bath.

I promise I will take the best care of her possible. She is a total sweetheart, and I can’t imagine another dog fitting into my home so soon after I lost my boy. She is just so sweet and compassionate.

Photos - Getting ready to check out of a hotel on the way home.
Yeah, I finally broke down and let her sit on the couch. She is very conscientious and respectful about sharing space and just craves the attention so I’m fine with it.

Final photo my boy Payton who died about a month ago at the age of 16. A big old heart of sunshine. Horchata is just his kind of girl. Thanks for helping us find each other.

We both send our love and appreciation for your care and willingness to let her find a home so far away from you.

Hoarding Case Update
June 18th, 19th, & 20th, a total of 60 neglected dogs and cats were removed from a residential property and taken into our facility.
June 18th, 3pm. The first set of arrivals from our third hoarding case of the year came with several neglected pets in dire need of safety...

June 19th, 12pm. The next batch of dogs and cats was removed from a residential property, totalling another dozen in our care. Our admissions staff quickly prepared vaccines, preventatives, and did bloodwork for the new arrivals. The condition of these pets varied. Local groomers were contacted to help bring these pups back to normality.

June 20, 2025 — 11:27 AM
The third and final batch arrived.
An additional 33 animals came in scared, confused, and many in worse condition than the groups before. Their fragile, trembling bodies told silent stories of neglect. Their eyes reflected fear and disconnection, and their fur served as visible proof of prolonged poor living conditions.

A heartfelt thank you from all of us at Palm Valley goes to Sal from Coats & Tails, Max from Pets-a-Like and the Hernandez Family from Valley Dogs Grooming RGV, who donated their time on a rainy afternoons to beautify 9 sweet pups from these recent events! Because of their kindness & care, these pups are not only feeling better but are one step closer to finding their furever homes! 🐾🏡

📣📣Long Term Fostered!📣📣
Camila #182961
1Y 8M old, Female
Labrador/Coonhound, Treeing Walker🐾
This sweet girl came into our care back in 2024, and was adopted. Sadly she was picked up again as a stray in early 2025 and unfortunately her owner never came for her. The shelter environment has been tough on her. She spins and jumps in her kennel, her weight fluctuates, and she's lost her appetite. Her quality of life here has declined, and she needs a loving foster by Monday, 7/14. Please help give her the love and care she deserves. Can you save Camila?

Cowboy #226899
1Y 3M old, Male
Collie, Smooth, Carolina Dog🐾
This handsome boy is timid and scared in the shelter environment, spending his time hiding in the back of his kennel. Unfortunately the shelter is filled with loud noises, new smells, and faces. Cowboy continues to be guarded and skittish at times around people and dogs. He needs more individualized attention and socialization than we can provide in the shelter environment. Due to the decline in his quality of life here, he has been placed on a deadline and needs a foster or adopter by 7/14.
