Puppy Love Gala returned to the McAllen Convention Center on February 18th with a Formal Affair to raise funds for Palm Valley Animal Society. Almost 500 people came decked out in their best to mingle, meet adoptable puppies, and shop at one of the best auctions around.

The event raised more than $260,000 to help fund the amazing lifesaving PVAS does every day. In 2022, this non-profit saved more than 11,000 lost and homeless dogs and cats who needed new homes and vital medical care. “These animals are capable of so much love,” said board president Barbara Guerra, “and they deserve our love in return.”

Save the date for Feb. 17th, 2024, when PVAS celebrates its 50th-anniversary gala!
