Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by a community member on June 7, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Moon Pie! This sweet little Maltese is as delightful as his name suggests! Moon Pie is currently serving up equal parts charm, fluff, and mystery as we get to know his personality more each day. So far, he's been absolutely out of this world, with a sprinkle of sweetness and a whole lot of adorable. Since he's still writing his own story, every day brings a new surprise-whether it's a goofy habit, a hidden talent, or another reason to fall head over paws for him. One thing we know for sure: Moon Pie is ready to orbit his way into someone's heart and become the sweetest treat in their life. Moon Pie has been diagnosed with dental disease and may require treatment after adoption, so we recommend following up with your veterinarian to keep him happy and healthy. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: White Weight: 20.8 Age: 13yrs 0mths 1wks

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. The 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. LINDA - ID#A551130 ** If adopted, a sponsor will pay for altering and rabies** Shelter staff named me LINDA, and I am a spayed female, tan and white Maltese and Poodle - Toy. The shelter thinks I am about 12 years old. I weigh approximately 9.10 lbs. SEE MORE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS HERE: https://myalbum.com/album/7LAeSwiopizteS/ STAFF NOTES: * Linda appears to be potty trained * Linda loves other dogs * Linda is not recommended in a home with children * Linda did well on her temperament test with a male poodle mix and a male terrier mix ** If adopted, a sponsor will pay for altering and rabies** 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 & Holidays

Story
Meet Betty! She is a sweet 9-year-old Maltese mix and a truly wonderful companion for anyone seeking affection and warmth. Petite in size and easy to care for, Betty sleeps soundly through the night so her humans can enjoy a full night of rest right along with her. Betty is fully potty trained and always takes care of her business outside. She is a quiet little lady who rarely barks, but when she wants your attention, she makes the softest, most endearing sound that is guaranteed to melt your heart. She enjoys short walks and is very well behaved on leash, happily taking in the sights and fresh air. Betty gets along well with other small dogs and does not show any aggression. While she does have some age related changes to her eyes and ears, they do not slow her down one bit. She continues to embrace life with enthusiasm and love, and she is ready to share her sweet, devoted heart with a forever family. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.

Story
Attention! RIGBY Here! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO BEFORE INQUIRING ABOUT MY ADOPTION PLEASE :) I am a very cute, little, Maltese/Chihuahua (Malchi) boy, I was born February 7, 2019. I am timid but sweet once I get to know you, I am very shy. I live with other dogs at the rescue, so I am ok with dogs, again it takes me some time to trust. I have been with rescue a long time because I suffer from some type of doggie vertigo and get car sick really easy, I always have since I was a puppy, so its hard for most families who enjoy taking their pup traveling. Its better now than it was when I was little but I still am nervous in the car. I need a loving patient family to open their hearts and home to allow me time to get to know you... Could that be you?? I was rescued from Lancaster, our humans didn't want us babies and gave us away and kept my Mama (Chihuahua) and Daddy (Maltese). I had siblings but they gave them away to other people instead of the rescue... Here is some information on my Mix Breed https://dogappy.com/information-about-maltese-chihuahua-mix-malchi Yours with a happy tailwag! Rigby
