Volunteers are essential to our programs and operations here at Palm Valley Animal Society. We rely on the care, dedication, and support our volunteer team provides. Palm Valley Animal Society welcomes anyone willing to donate their time to help save homeless animals in the Rio Grande Valley. For the safety of the animals, volunteers, guests, and staff, completion of the Volunteer Program Registration process and Service Agreement is required prior to volunteering.
