MoVal Rocks/MoVal Movies Ends on a High Note

Our MoVal Rocks/MoVal Movies summer series was a blast!

So many of you danced the night away to amazing bands like Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea, Soto, and Brothers Igniting a Groove (BIG). And scores of Moreno Valley families took in a flick on our giant Amphitheater screen, including Lilo & Stitch, The Bad Guys, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us at the Civic Center Amphitheater. Bringing the community together is what Moreno Valley summers are all about!

Pet of the Week: Rex

Our pet of the week is Rex, a super sweet one-year-old Dachshund mix. Rex is an energetic boy who loves to have fun with anyone he meets. He’s great with young kids and would do well with an active Moreno Valley family who loves to go on walks and trips to the Hound Town Dog Park. Like many dogs, Rex is not a fan of cats.

If you would like to make Rex 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.
