Story

Luna is 7 years old and was given to me six years ago by a family who was moving away. She really needs a family who can give her a lot of attention and is willing to play with her often. She is very needy, so maybe a retired couple would be good for her. She loves playing with other dogs, kids, and cats even. She does bark at first when she sees other dogs or if someone knocks at the door. She’s a very sweet girl and knows demands and tricks as well. I’m just looking for a temporary foster home.

Story

UPDATE: FINAL DEADLINE JAN 24TH AT 3 PM 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 the kennels. They are over capacity, and all available dogs are in urgent need. Please visit or email the shelter directly to adopt. CHLOE - ID#A546527 Shelter staff named me CHLOE, and I am a spayed female, tan and black German Shepherd Dog mix. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years old. I weigh approximately 79.90 lbs. SEE MORE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS HERE: https://myalbum.com/album/JyYysyDJChzw8u/ STAFF NOTES: * Chloe is food motivated. She will sit for a treat! * Chloe likes chasing toys. She knows, drop it! * Chloe is shy at first. She warms up if you give her food! * Chloe did well on her temperament test with a male boxer. She was playful and polite!
