Pet of the Week: Nikki

Our Pet of the Week is Nikki, a one-year-old, female, brown and black-colored German Shepherd.

Nikki is truly a unique dog, in the most positive of ways! Believe it or not, she has a habit of actually cleaning up after herself! When she is done playing with her favorite toy, she picks it up, and puts it away! Who wouldn't appreciate that? She's also sweet, gentle, and very affectionate.

If you would like to make Nikki 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.
