Pet of the Week: Josh

Our Pet of the Week is Josh, a one-year-old, male, brown and black, short-haired German Shepherd mix.

There is nothing in this world that Josh seems to love more than cuddling up in your lap and getting petted for days and days. He is an affectionate boy, with an upbeat personality, a playful twinkle in his eye, and a spirited spring in his step.

If you would like to make Josh 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.
