Palm Valley Animal Society (PVAS) has recently faced several challenging animal hoarding cases, highlighting the ongoing need for comprehensive animal welfare services in our community.
In March, PVAS responded to a distress call in McAllen, where 90 dogs were found living in deplorable conditions. Our dedicated team worked tirelessly to transfer these neglected animals to our Trenton Center, providing them with the urgent medical care and grooming they desperately needed.
Not long after, another case emerged involving 60 cats and 6 dogs in similarly poor conditions. PVAS once again stepped in to provide the necessary care and rehabilitation. And in early June, 63 dogs were discovered suffering from severe neglect in extreme heat, further testing our resources and resolve. In the same month, yet another case arose involving 45 dogs, underscoring the persistent and widespread nature of animal hoarding in our area.
