With an evening full of milestone history, awards to key partners, and an outpouring of love from the community, the 2024 Puppy Love Golden Gala was one for the record books. After accepting the Visionary Award for its new day in animal care, the City of McAllen announced its partnership with PVAS to build state-of-the-art facilities at its Trenton shelter. Legacy honors went to Andrews Family Foundation, Best Friends Animal Society, Edinburg Foundation, H-E-B, and Petco Love for their significant contributions, resulting in tens of thousands more lives saved. The evening ended with a champagne toast to Palm Valley’s first 50 years and the next.
