Pet of the Week: Mocha

Our Pet of the Week is Mocha, a female, two-year-old sheepdog-terrier mix mix.

Mocha is as sweet as pie, and a little on the shy side, but once she gets to know you, she is all about the cuddles and snuggles. She is leash trained, house trained, and great with young kids and other dogs.

If you would like to make Mocha 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.
