Story
Mochaccina Age: 3 years | Gender: Female Mochaccina is a sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl who absolutely loves people. She gets very excited to see her humans and often greets you with a happy hug. She’s calm, docile, and makes wonderful company. She does well with other dogs and enjoys their company, walks nicely on a leash, and loves being outdoors. Mochaccina would need a cat-free home, as she tends to chase cats. One of her most charming features is her adorable tongue, which healed that way long ago and gives her extra character. She enjoys chew toys and is learning great habits every day. She’s a little sensitive to the cold and loves sunny spots and cozy blankets. Mochaccina would thrive in a loving home looking for an affectionate, people-oriented companion. ##2609174##

Ronda is a young and playful dog that enjoys the company of both humans and dogs! This girl is super sweet. She came from the Lancaster shelter in December and has been in various foster homes since. We would love for this perfect girl to find her forever home. Looking for Southern California adopters. Ronda is spayed, up to date on her shots and is in amazing shape. Initially she lost some weight after exiting the shelter due to her pneumonia but has gained it back since her last weigh in. This girl is so velvety soft, has the softest gray eyes, and the cutest gray nose. Reach out to us today!

Story
Jersey is a sweet soul who is good with all dogs & cats - she has a very nurturing presence to her and will regularly welcome the shy new arrivals to the rescue. She will patiently sit with them, provide comfort and companionship, and is just happy to be involved.  She is a super affectionate couch potato and would love to spend her days cuddled up on the couch watching movies - she is extremely easy going and low maintenance. She would be a great for an apartment or a small yard since she doesn't require much in regards to exercise needs! She enjoys going for short strolls or sniffing around the yard and then coming back inside to return to her ultimate potato state. She does also love to wade around in the water/doggie pools on hot days.  As a Bulldog, she does have the hallmark traits of letting out cute little grunts and snorts when she's happy - and will snore when she's snoozing!  Her best friend at Thrive is Danny, a sweet but shy 6-month-old male Lab x Shepherd/Border Collie mix, and Oreo, another sweet but shy young female beagle mix. Ask about our "2-for-1" adoption if you're interested in adopting a pair together! (While they're best friends, they can be separated and can go to separate homes if needed - we would just love to see them together)  ##2499119##

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.

Meet Tabitha! Sweet & spunky not chunky, very petite about 36 pounds. She's talkative, playful & lots of fun. Enjoys car rides, well behaved at the coffee shop and on the patio at restaurants. Walks well on leash, no pulling at all, loves to take naps in the yard. Tabitha is doing well with crate training, needs a slow feeder for her meals. Without it she will eat so quickly that she gags.

Story
How this pet arrived: Loco Moco was brought in by a community member on January 16, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Loco Moco! Loco Moco is all about energy, curiosity, and making an entrance. He's the kind of guy who needs to be in the middle of the action-never the wallflower-and he makes friends fast with full-body wiggles, tail wags that could power a small fan, and a big "hey, let's play!" attitude. If you have a resident dog at home, a dog-to-dog introduction on-site is required to ensure a good match. He might do best in a home without cats. If kids are in the home, they should be part of the meet-and-greet to make sure everyone's on the same fun wavelength. Loco Moco is clever, adventurous, and has been known to show off his impressive Houdini skills, so a secure setup and someone keeping an eye on him are a must. With structure and plenty to keep him busy, he's a fun, high-energy companion packed with personality and charm.At SDHS:Loco Moco has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Apricot Secondary Color: White Weight: 59.2 Age: 4yrs 7mths 1wks
