Pet of the Week: Penny

Our Pet of the Week is Penny, a five-year-old, female, brindle and white short-haired American Bulldog mix.

You can bet your bottom dollar that giving Penny a loving home just makes "cents"! In fact, if canine love and affection were tangible currency, Penny would be rolling in the doggy dollars! She's constantly cashing in on those snuggles, cuddles, and signature sloppy Bulldog kisses. Penny's leash-trained, good with other dogs, and loves to play catch.

If you would like to make Penny 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 moval.org/pets.
