Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by a community member on September 9, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Jones! Jones is a total lovebug who's ready and waiting to find his new loving home. He adores people and will display his excited wiggles when he greets you. He can be a bit shy with new faces and places, but once he builds confidence, he'll share his playful and energetic side. He's very smart and treat motivated, and has already mastered "sit," "paw" and "down." Jones has been known to have big feelings around other dogs, and may do best as your one and only canine companion. Although he may not be a candidate for dog parks or other off-leash venues, there are lots of other activities you can do together to strengthen your bond! If you're interested in opening your heart and home to this sweet pup, come speak to an adoption counselor today!At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

Story
Hi there! I’m Taco Bella! Big in size, lots of love, and maybe just a little extra around the middle (but that’s because food is amazing). I live for mealtime, snacks, treats, crumbs, and anything that might possibly be edible. I’m loyal through and through! Wherever my people go, I go. I like to keep them close, just in case they need a snuggle or a nudge of reassurance. I love curling up at their feet, leaning against them, or sprawling across the couch if they’ll let me.But don’t let my size fool you... I’ve got plenty of play in me! Give me a squeaky toy, a ball, or a tug rope, and I’m ready for action. I’ll chase, chew, roll, and zoom around with all the enthusiasm of a pup. Playtime and snack time might just be my favorite times of day… though cuddles come pretty close.I’m a big-hearted, big-bodied girl with an even bigger appetite for love!

Story
Goof, derp, lover of life. Cjay is loving, loyal, funny – a tongue flopping, trotting next to you kind of bestie. He’s a great hybrid dog who loves to enjoy the great outdoors and go on walks, play ball and bike ride.  But he also is a chill couch potato who likes to cozy in and watch TV.  Everyone who meets Cjay falls in love with him – he’s one of those dogs who doesn’t lack for personality haha and keeps you laughing. Cjay has been fostered by an awesome trainer so whoever adopts him will get a dog who has been through an in depth board and train program already. Cjay’s the right dog for an experienced family who are strong leaders with kind hearts to stay consistent with his training to continue to set him up for success. Approved adopters will receive training sessions so you know what Cjay knows to make the transition smooth :). Cjay’s favorite thing to do is play ball WHILE rolling in the grass at the same time 🤯 ❤️ He's available for adoption anywhere in SoCal.

URGENT - Shelter needs to clear kennels. Please save this dog's life! 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. Dogs are being turned in higher numbers than the shelter can accommodate, therefore many are losing their lives due to lack of cage space. We are helping get the word out of 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. Please feel free to reach out to us with questions. Thank you! SUGAR BABY #A541069 I am a spayed, female, blue and fawn Mastiff mix. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years old. I weigh approximately 110.00 lbs. VIDEOS: https://myalbum.com/album/tURmGddwp3mxo6/ STAFF NOTES: * Very sweet girl * Will lay down and roll over for belly rubs every chance she gets * Loves attention, pets and scratches. * Easy to leash and walk once out of the kennel * No aggression seen when walking by the other dogs. * She wants cuddles, belly rubs and being told what a good girl she is... because she is a great girl!

Leo is a gorgeous neapolitan mastiff.  His ideal home would be a home with someone who knows the breed and can set boundaries for him to thrive. He has the potential to do well with other dogs as long as the other dogs have good temperament. He was fostered with kids who were 12 years of age and he did good with them. Come meet sweet Leo if you are looking for a gorgeous large boy. Leo's adoption comes with training. June 2, 2025, 11:00 pm
