Complete the MoVal Sister City Program Survey

We want to hear from you! The City of Moreno Valley is inviting residents to participate in a community survey to provide feedback on the City’s Sister City Program, which will be open from January 5 through February 5. 

Moreno Valley’s Sister City relationship with San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico, was established in 1993.

The survey will help the City better understand community interest, priorities, and ideas for future engagement.

Like many community programs, the Sister City Program experienced reduced activity during the COVID-19 pandemic and has remained largely dormant. As the City considers reestablishing the program, input from Moreno Valley residents is essential. 

Click the button below to complete the survey and share your thoughts on the program’s value and opportunities for renewed connection.

Pet of the Week: Shilo

Our Pet of the Week is Shilo, a female, two-year-old, black and white Border Collie mix.

Shilo will melt your heart with her inquisitive gaze and playful nature. She absolutely loves to play catch, fetch, and just about any other sport that involves a tennis ball. She knows several tricks and is eager to learn more. As an added bonus, she's good on a leash and enjoys going on outdoor hikes and long walks!

If you would like to make Shilo, or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter, part of your family, please call 951.413.3790 or visit moval.org/pets.

The Moreno Valley Animal Shelter is located at 14041 Elsworth Street in Moreno Valley.

Note: Our featured pets tend to get adopted very quickly when they are shared in our newsletter and on social media. If they have already been adopted when you inquire, please consider one of the other loving pets in the shelter who are also looking for their forever homes.
