It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Trenton.

Edinburg, TX — Palm Valley Animal Society (PVAS) is calling on the community for urgent support as it begins the final chapter of its long-standing Trenton shelter. With the closure of the aging facility set for later this year, PVAS is working around the clock to ensure a safe and compassionate transition for the hundreds of animals still housed there.

A Landmark Chapter Comes to a Close

Opened in 1977, the Trenton shelter has served the Rio Grande Valley for over five decades. But with deteriorating infrastructure, overcrowded kennels, and intensifying weather challenges, the building is no longer a sustainable place for long-term animal care.

“We’re not just closing this shelter; we’re preparing for one of the biggest transitions in our organization’s history,” said Suzette Cruz, Executive Director. “But we can’t do it without the community. Every donation, every adoption, every foster home helps us get one step closer.”


The Need is Urgent

The team at PVAS is working hard to move every animal out of the Trenton facility and either into loving homes or into the more modern Laurie P. Andrews Center. That effort needs community backing now more than ever.


Palm Valley Animal Society is working urgently to relocate every animal from the aging Trenton facility with care and compassion. Community support is critical during this transition — fostering, adopting, or donating can directly help transport animals, fund medical treatment, and expand the capacity at the Laurie P. Andrews Center to welcome them safely.


How You Can Help


Looking Ahead

The Laurie P. Andrews Center in Edinburg features climate-controlled kennels, expanded medical facilities, and a safer environment for both animals and staff. The move marks a major milestone in PVAS’s mission to raise the standard of animal care in the Rio Grande Valley.

When Suzette Cruz asks the community for help, it highlights teamwork and shared responsibility, a feeling mirrored in Geometry Dash Lite where the challenge may be personal but the journey is supported by patterns, rhythm, and lessons learned from every attempt.

Trenton was clearly deeply loved, and his story shows wrestle bros how much compassion and care he received. Thank you for giving him comfort, dignity, and love until the very end. He will always be remembered.
