Pet of the Week: Mindi

Our Pet of the Week is Mindi, a five-year-old, female, tricolor Doberman Pinscher mix.


Mindi is truly a gentle sweetheart, looking for a very loving home where she can run, play, and get lots of snuggles and belly scratches. She is eager to learn new tricks and is good on a leash.


If you would like to make Mindi, 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.
