The Palm Valley Animal Center is a private, nonprofit, open-door animal welfare agency serving the needs of animals, pet owners and the community at large.
The Palm Valley Animal Center is more than a shelter, it’s a compassionate place dedicated to the caring of homeless animals and to enhancing the relationship between animals and people through adoptions, education and community outreach.
Because Palm Valley Animal Center is the only animal center serving all of Hidalgo County, we receive more than 40,000 animals annually.
Palm Valley Animal Center was established in 1973 by a group of concerned citizens. Contributions from the surrounding cities as well as donations from local citizens including $50,000 from Bob Sobel and a $100,000 bequest from L.L. Rowan secured the construction for the current facility. On October 31, 1983, the new animal shelter opened containing 56 dog runs and 60 cat cages.
In recent years, additions have been made to the shelter to accommodate the increasing influx of animals each year. In 2000, the Weslaco Humane Society closed and Palm Valley Animal Center became the only animal care facility for the entire Hidalgo County area. On average, the Palm Valley Animal Center receives 119 animals per day!
