Pet of the Week: Piper

Our Pet of the Week is Piper, a one-year-old female creme-colored Labrador Retriever.

Piper is sweet and playful, and blessed with what could only be described as a canine sense of humor. When she plays, she is "all-in" and very attentive, with a sparkle in her eyes that is the perfect complement to her doggie smile.

She's leash trained, and ready to live the good life with a loving family!

If you would like to make Piper 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.
