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.

Popeye Update🐾
October 30th, Animal Control Officers delivered a male Bully Mix Terrier to our Trenton facility; the subject is one 5-year old, Popeye, suffering from Sarcoptic mange or scabies.

Scabies is caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, which burrows into the skin and causes an intensely itchy and contagious skin disease. Despite Popeyes condition staff have described him as having a very sweet disposition, “his personality comes to life with ‘booty wiggles & little hops, he also thoroughly enjoys affection and touch’.

November 19th🐾
Popeye and his foster family paid a visit to our Pet Resource Department to pick up refills for his skin medications and receive a microchip.
His fosters state he has a Cat-sister, loves lounging indoors, will keep the Dad company when he’s working outdoors and is very careful with stairs due to his short legs.

Thanks to the calm, caring home his fosters have provided, his hair is slowly coming back in, his eye discharge is manageable, and he is on a path to recovery.

Popeye is just one of the many animals that come into our facility needing more care & resources than the shelter environment can provide. With your help, we can continue to provide life-saving care and networking for the thousands of homeless pets that enter our safekeeping🐾💙

Palm Valley Animal Society is proud to announce a monumental achievement: the launch of a new Spay & Neuter Initiative, a campaign of low-cost spay & neuter clinics open to residents of our contracted partners: McAllen, Edinburg, Palmhurst, and parts of unincorporated Hidalgo County.

This is a milestone moment for PVAS, one that’s been years in discussion and is now becoming reality thanks to the dedication of our Executive Leadership, our Clinic Team, and Board Director Charlie Meyer, who have led the charge every step of the way.

All this was made possible by a generous contribution towards this spay & Neuter program. This support has allowed us to turn a long-standing goal into an actionable program that will expand access to affordable, high-quality care for pets in our community.

With the help of grants and sponsors, PVAS was able to perform over 3,000 in-house spay & neuter surgeries in 2024. This initiative will be our first-ever public spay and neuter campaign that will launch November 17th through the 19th, with six months of clinics available to our contracted community

The spay and neuter clinics will take place at our Laurie P. Andrews Center, 2451 N US Expressway 281, Edinburg, TX.

At Palm Valley, animal welfare is not just a goal; it’s a promise. We remain committed to providing resources, education & outreach to promote responsible pet ownership and compassion throughout the Rio Grande Valley. 🐾🩺
