PVAS operates two facilities in Edinburg, TX, taking in more than 15,000 animals on behalf of 550,000 residents each year. PVAS is on a journey to save lives and create a safe, humane community for all of the Rio Grande Valley. 

PVAS accepts stray and surrendered companion animals from municipalities and counties who contract our services regardless of age, health, or breed, making us the largest intake facility in Hidalgo County, and one of the largest intake facilities in the country.
