Pet of the Week: Gaucho

Our Pet of the Week is Gaucho, a one-year-old Dogo Argentino (yes, that's an actual breed!)

Gaucho is a gentle soul. At 90 pounds, he's a big dog with a big heart, and his sweet, gentle gaze will melt anyone's heart. We double-dog dare you to resist!

He's leash trained, and looking for that perfect home to become a loving family member, and resident couch potato.

If you would like to make Gaucho 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.
