Mike Bricker

A behind the scenes look into the day to day of one of the largest animal shelters in the country.

Palm Valley Animal Center (PVAC) is one of the busiest and most under-resourced shelters in the nation. It’s also home to the most dedicated lifesaving team around. We serve pets and people across eight communities and take in as many as 100 new animals in a given day. Even with a limited budget, we saved 5,000 more animals in 2018 than the previous year. And we need your help to continue that trend. Let’s get our community to no-kill, together.
