How this pet arrived:Bud-E was brought in by a community member on September 13, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Looking for your new best bud? Meet Bud-E, a sweet, mellow gentleman whose absolute favorite hobby is perfecting the art of the afternoon nap! While he can be a little timid at first, this friendly boy has been wonderfully amenable with our team and has warmed up quickly. According to his previous owner's family, he is already housetrained and has done well with other dogs. Bud-E came to us after his owner passed away, and he is now dreaming of a cozy home where he can simply hang out and soak up lots of extra TLC. He is currently carrying some extra weight and managing arthritis, so he appreciates short, slow walks while he works on his fitness journey (and no stairs, please!). Our medical team is happy to chat with you about his mobility needs and other age-related care so you can help this darling companion feel his very best! If your home is missing a professional nap partner and your heart has room for a big sweetheart, come on down and ask to meet Bud-E today! At SDHS:Bud-E has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 127.4 Age: 9yrs 6mths 3wks

Story
Shadow is a high drive working breed border collie who needs someone with breed experience (preferred). Fulfillment requirements: She will need more than just an hour long walk a day to meet her physical requirements. She currently bikes, hikes, and loves to swim. She is also well versed in carrying a weighted pack on her hikes, which helps her tune into her body and slow her mind. She's an athletic girl and needs someone to match that lifestyle. Sociability (Dog preferences): Shadow is dog selective. She would be perfectly fine in a home with no other dogs but would also do ok if she found a home with the right dog for her. No little dogs or other small animals though. She doesn't enjoy every dog but enjoys most in the proper introductions are taken. She doesn't enjoy chaos with other dogs but loves to partake in structured pack activities. She is NOT a dog park or high-energy daycare type dog. Training: She's crate trained and sleeps, eats and rests in one daily. She's highly intelligent and learns quickly. She is well versed in basic obedience cues: sit, down, stand, stay, recall, place, middle, and loose leash walking. She does not enjoy being approached, touched or spoken to by strangers but has increased her thresholds for tolerance by quite a lot. She can navigate public spaces with the proper guidance but is probably never going to be a "coffee shop" dog. Shadow's Adoption fee is $250 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story
How this pet arrived: Toby was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on January 5, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Toby! This affectionate boy is happiest spending time with his people and soaking up all the love and attention he can get. According to his previous owner, Toby is "not a big walker" and prefers a mellow, relaxed lifestyle - making him a great match for a calm home where he can simply enjoy being by your side. He likes to approach new people at his own pace, but once he's comfortable, he makes human friends quickly and enjoys companionship. He will thrive best in an household where any children are 10+ and his body language can be understood and respected. Toby has been known to be protective of his favorite items, so he is looking for a home where he can be the only pet and where high-value resources can be carefully managed. He is also not a candidate for dog parks or other off-leash venues, but there are lots of other activities you can do together to strengthen your bond! With the right home, Toby will reward his adopters with loyalty, affection and heartfelt companionship. Ask about adopting him today! At SDHS:Toby has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 58.6 Age: 4yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
WE ARE COURTESY POSTING THIS DOG FOR THE MORENO VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER TO HELP THEM FIND A HOME. The shelter is severely overcrowded and desperately needs help finding adopters. Dogs are being turned in higher numbers than the shelter can accommodate; therefore, many are losing their lives simply due to a lack of cage space. We are helping get the word out about their immediate need. Please save this deserving pooch and clear a kennel for another dog in need today! This beautiful dog is located in the Moreno Valley shelter. Shelter needs to clear kennels. They are over capacity and all available dogs are in urgent need. Please visit or email the shelter directly to adopt. Shelter staff named me ALIX and I am a spayed female, black and white Border Collie mix. The shelter thinks I am about 1 year and 1 month old. I weigh approximately 30.00 lbs. SEE MORE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS HERE: https://myalbum.com/album/84Sf9yvzqXgRRA/ STAFF NOTES: * Alix knows sit * Alix takes treats gently * Alix loves chin scritches and belly rubs * Alix did well on her temperament test with a neutered German Shepherd Moreno Valley Animal Shelter 14041 Elsworth Street, Moreno Valley, CA 92553 951-413-3790 Adoption hours: Tuesday - Friday 10 am - 5 pm Saturday 10:30 am - 3:30 pm Closed Sunday-Monday and Holidays

Story
How this pet arrived: Winnie was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on July 10, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:With her gentle charm and endearing spirit, Winnie is ready to win your heart as she blossoms into a sweet, fun-loving companion! Once this lovely girl warms up and gets comfortable, she shows off her affectionate side - happily soaking up gentle pets, having a blast tossing around her favorite toys and lighting up the room with joyful zoomies. Winnie thrives when allowed to make the first move on her own timeline, so she is looking for a calm, consistent home without lots of noise or frequent visitors where she can truly unwind at her own pace. To ensure she always has the room she needs to feel secure, any children in the household should be 12 years or older and able to give her space. Winnie may also be deaf, meaning she will flourish with a patient, supportive family ready to guide her using clear visual cues, predictable routines and gentle understanding. To make sure the entire crew passes her official vibe check, all household members must be present to meet Winnie prior to adoption. With a little time, love and patience, Winnie will reward you with boundless sweetness, playful antics and loyal companionship. At SDHS:Winnie has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Shy/Fearful Dog: Winnie requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her.

Story
How this pet arrived: Phoenix was brought in by their previous owner on September 2, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Phoenix! If there's water involved-whether it's chasing the garden hose, splashing around, or even hopping into the bath-he is totally in his element. Phoenix is a clever, active guy who loves a good game of fetch, daily adventures and having a "job" to keep his busy brain happy. Phoenix can be timid when meeting new people, so the trick is just letting him come to you. Give him that bit of patience and you get the full package: goofy playfulness and top-tier cuddles. The whole family must be present to meet Phoenix before adoption and any kids should be 8 or older. If you already have a pup, an on-campus meet is required to make sure the vibes are right-he prefers mellow dog pals who won't overwhelm him. Ready for a smart, splash-loving sidekick? Phoenix is ready to meet you!Shy/Fearful Dog: Phoenix requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. At SDHS: Phoenix has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Phoenix is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Red Merle Weight: 37.8 Age: 3yrs 7mths 3wks

Story
Meet Corky! ❤️ At 12 years young, Corky is proof that age is just a number. This adorable Australian Shepherd/Terrier mix found himself at the shelter after his family moved, but he’s ready to find a forever home that will love him through his golden years. His foster mom affectionately calls him “Porky” because mealtime is his absolute favorite part of the day! Corky is fully potty trained and has never had an accident in his foster home. He’s also a quiet companion who rarely barks—though that may be because his hearing isn’t what it used to be. Corky can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and you’ll see his fun, puppy-like personality shine through. Once he trusts you, he’s full of love, enjoys everyone he meets, and still has plenty of playful energy left. He’s also wonderful with other dogs and would be happy to share his home with a canine companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing best friend who loves treats, naps, and being part of the family, Corky is waiting to meet you. Senior dogs have so much love to give, and Corky is ready to spend his golden years showing you just how special they are.
