Pet of the Week: She-Ra

Our Pet of the Week is She-Ra, a 30-pound, tri-colored, nine-month-old German Shepherd mix. 

She-Ra is highly affectionate and playfully energetic. She loves a game of fetch, and is always up for a little break in the action to get in a quick "scritch-scratch" under the chin, or a friendly muzzle nuzzle. This beautiful girl loves people and other dogs, and would make a great addition to just about any family! 

If you would like to make She-Ra or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit www.moval.org/pets.
