Pet of the Week: Sirius Black

Our Pet of the Week is Sirius Black, a 13-year-old, male black and white German Shepherd and Pit Bull Mix.


Sirius Black is an elder statesman with a lot of class. He is a mature fellow, well-mannered, loving, and gentle. Sirius Black is more than happy to 'chillax' with his favorite chew toy and keep you company on the couch or cozied up on the carpet next to your feet.


If you would like to make Sirius Black 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 moval.org/pets.


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