Did you kow we have more than 400 dogs housed in outdoor kennels? Tarps help protect them from the elements like rain and cold wind and in the southernmost part of Texas, that usually gets the job done, keeping the dogs safe and comfortable. 

What it doesn't account for though are unusual cold snaps where temperatures plummet - like the one we are expecting in the coming days and week.

With temperatures dropping, we are working overtime to find foster placement for as many dogs as possible, but also reinforce the shelter with additional items to keep those who don't find foster comfortable. 

We have over 400 dogs in outdoor kennels that need protection from this freezing weather. Please help us keep them safe.

Below are what our kennels look like - a stark visual of the circumstances we are working to overcome. 

The animals - as well as the staff and volunteers at Palm Valley Animal Society, couldn't be more grateful for the support shown to them by CUDDLY donors when they needed it most!

When we were essentially out of dog food, donors heard the call and answered it, in a major way. We now have several weeks of food, safe and sound in storage, ready to fill the bellies of the 900+ dogs we have currently in care. It will go quickly, but the reprieve it is providing us while we come up with a longer term plan to secure food is quite literally a lifeline. 

Yesterday, at feeding time, our staff tore open bag after bag without worry of whether there was going to be enough. When you go through 1,000lbs. of food each day, that kind of freedom can be hard to come by, but CUDDLY donors made it possible. 

These are just a few of the faces that say thank you for thinking of them 💙 

The amount of support shown to the animals of Palm Valley Animal Society over one short weekend has been nothing short of astounding. 

In just a few days, CUDDLY donors have donated enough food to feed our dogs for three weeks 🙏 a much needed buffer while the longer term issue of food supply is resolved.

Caring for 850 dogs each and every day - not to mention all our cats and other types of animals, can be a daunting task that, at times, can feel unwinnable. The kind of support sent to our organization from CUDDLY donors reminds us that we are not in this alone and that so many care and are willing to lend a hand. 

We could not be more grateful and thank each and every one of you who have taken a moment to donate. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
