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.

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 the kennels. They are over capacity, and all available dogs are in urgent need. Please visit or email the shelter directly to adopt. DAISY - ID#A545055 Shelter staff named me DAISY, and I am a female, white, and tan Chihuahua - Smooth Coated.

Story
Meet this sweet, playful boy named Bradley! This handsome pup is approximately 1 year old and sports a striking salt-and-pepper coat with unique patterns that make him truly one of a kind. He’s a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, children, and just about anyone he meets—he’s always ready to say hello with a wagging tail. He enjoys learning and practicing basic commands like sit and lay down, and his playful side really shines when he prances around the yard like a little reindeer during playtime. He has the stamina for long walks and can confidently play with larger dogs thanks to his solid build, yet he’s gentle and respectful enough to play nicely with smaller pups too. While he prefers not to have a crate closed, he’s perfectly comfortable resting inside one when he chooses. He’s mostly potty trained and currently uses a belly band at night as a preventative while adjusting to a new environment. Food is one of his great loves—he absolutely adores treats and dinnertime and is relaxed eating around other dogs, even sharing or swapping bowls without issue. Above all, this boy is incredibly affectionate. He loves cuddles, reassurance kisses, and hugs, and thrives on companionship. With his loving nature and adaptable personality, he would make a truly wonderful addition to a lucky forever home. 🐾

Story
Lola’s Story Lola came into rescue at only five weeks old — far too young to already be afraid of the world. We may never know what happened to her in those early days, but whatever it was left its mark. Lola is the kind of pup many might pass by — quiet, shy, and unsure at first. But all she really wants is a kind hand and a patient heart. Once she feels safe, and you softly call her name, her face lights up and her little tail begins to wag. If you’re not afraid of a small challenge — one that rewards you with the deepest kind of trust — please come meet Lola. She’s waiting for someone to show her that the world can be gentle after all.

Story
Honey Sue came to us through an unfortunate situation. She was mostly confined to indoors. Honey Sue had only known her family and never met another dog. Honey Sue has really blossomed, she is outgoing, loves her foster parents, plays outside with her friends. Her green eyes are very mischievous. She will need a little harness training. We are polishing up her potty manners. Since Honey Sue is still a puppy she will not do well left alone all day. If you have room in your heart and your family for a fun girl come and visit Honey Sue! Yards are necessary for reinforcing potty training.

Story
*Bonded Pair* Meet 8 pound Camilla, your perfect little Velcro dog who loves nothing more than sticking close to her person. She’s quiet, gentle, and endlessly loving — the kind of pup who fills the room with sweetness just by being in it. Camilla is very food motivated, so she thrives on small, portioned meals to help keep her weight in a healthy place. Daily walks are her absolute favorite and have been wonderful for her waistline and her spirit! She’s also been practicing taking tiny treats oh-so-gently, and she’s doing beautifully. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be by your side and love you with her whole heart, Camilla might just be your girl. 💗🐾 Meet 9 pound Princess 👑💗
This adorable terrier–chi mix lives for her walks and would thrive with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. She’s a total snuggle bug at home, but out and about she needs a confident handler since she can be dog-reactive on walks. Princess is also known for her funny little quirk — she’s never met an open door she didn’t want to dash through! 🚪✨ With a bit of structure and awareness, she’ll do wonderfully. At the end of the day, she’s an all-around sweetheart who just wants love, exercise, and a person to call her own. 💞🐾
