New data from an animal welfare organization shows a Valley animal shelter achieving no-kill status, yet officials at the Palm Valley Animal Society say things are more challenging this year.
According to the Best Friends Animal Society, the Valley animal shelter reached a 92% no-kill rate for 2020, 20% points higher than the year before.
Palm Valley Animal Society Executive Director Donna Casamento says transporting extra animals to other agencies and their social media presence played a significant role in the accomplishment.

Dallas-based The Meadows Foundation has awarded national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society $100,000 to deepen its work across Texas with local animal shelters to sustain and expand no-kill practices. Momentum for increased lifesaving and no-kill is building across Texas, but there is still so much to do-and Best Friends has proven solutions to fix this problem. With help from The Meadows Foundation, Best Friends and our 250-plus partnering organizations across this state can keep fighting for the lives of companion animals and make Texas a no-kill state by 2025, said South Central Region, Best Friends Animal Society Director, Lee Ann Shenefiel.
