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. FRANKINCENSE - ID#A547817 Shelter staff named me FRANKINCENSE, and I am a male, brown brindle and blue brindle American Bulldog mix. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old. I weigh approximately 70.80 lbs.

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##

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.  Her best friend at Thrive is Danny, a sweet but shy 6-month-old male Lab x Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Ask about our "2-for-1" adoption if you're interested in giving both of these deserving sweethearts a home 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!)  Jersey is very friendly, and loves to play in the water ##2499119##

Story
Hippity Hop needs a HERO!! We are looking for a foster or adopter who will absolutely spoil this boy rotten. We’re talking putting him in his own Pajamas and treating him to Pup Cups in the regular. He’s that special. Hippity Hop is 1 yr 6 months old. He was originally brought into the shelter as a small puppy/stray and his owners came in and claimed him. Then he found himself back at the shelter months later, and those same owners came back and claimed him. This happened a 3rd time!! When contacted the original owners said they would be in to get him and never came 😢. The last time he came into the shelter he came in with 2 dogs that were also a part of his family. So we know he is dog friendly. He’s been tested against male and female dogs and passed. He was also in a home that had young adolescent kids. Hippity Hop was born with funky hips. He is not in pain. But when he walks, he sometimes hops, and that’s how he got his name. He was recently put on death row, in solitary confinement at the shelter because of an incident where a man came to the shelter looking for a “big headed pitbull,” and when Hippity Hop had an interaction with him, he lunged at the guy and supposedly growled (there are different accounts of this incident). We think the guy had bad intentions and Hippity could sense it. Hippity Hop is the biggest love bug; all he wants to do when brought out to play is cuddle and kiss your face and he even wraps his from paws around you for hugs- he’s precious! He was scheduled to be euthanized 6/7 at 9:30am. A whole army of people stepped up for him and we were able to bust him free on 6/6! He had been in solitary confinement for 5 days, was up to his elbows in pee, and was ravenous for food when he finally got out. This boy has been thru so much. He deserves so much better than what he’s experienced so far. His little eyes don’t lie. He’s unsure if he’ll ever be loved. When he meets people, he craves love. It’s just so heartbreaking. We can’t wait for him to find the perfect foster/adopter!!

These pups are in Oceanside, California too!

Story
How this pet arrived: Roxy was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on November 20, 2025.Why Roxy is the one for you:Meet Roxy! Roxy is a gentle, resilient sweetheart looking for a home where she can relax and live out her golden years! She came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about her past - but her soft eyes and sweet nature tell us she's ready for a fresh start. Roxy has a few age-related medical quirks, including a removed mass and dental disease. As a short-faced (brachycephalic) pup, she can also find breathing a bit tricky, so she'll do best in a calm home that understands her need for a slower pace and a cool, comfortable environment. Her ideal family is patient, kind, and ready to help her continue feeling her best. In return, she'll offer endless sweetness, grateful cuddles, and the joy of watching her blossom. If you're looking for a lovable companion with a tender spirit, Roxy may be your perfect match. Don't forget to bring a leash and collar!

How this pet arrived: Suavecito was brought in by a community member on November 4, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Suavecito is a gentle boy whose name says it all - he's smooth, soft-hearted, and full of quiet charm. Although he can be a bit timid at first, once he feels safe his affectionate personality truly shines. As we've gotten to know him, we've learned that he walks nicely with a harness, will sit politely for treats, and absolutely loves scratches, often thanking you with sweet kisses. He also has a playful side and gets zoomies when he's feeling comfortable and happy. Suavecito recently had a mass removed from his leg, so his new family should plan to keep up with vet checkups to monitor his future care. With a calm environment and a little reassurance, Suavecito is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion! Come meet this handsome boy and let him melt your heart - one soft wag at a time! At SDHS: Suavecito has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Suavecito is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Tri Color Weight: 61 Age: 4yrs 2mths 0wks
