Pet of the Week: Jabbar

By Stella Pierce, Community Writer

Our Pet of the Week is Jabbar, an eight-year-old, black and white Staffordshire Mix.

 

Jabbar is a gentle dog, a gentle soul, and a gentleman. He is a well-mannered adult dog with a youthful, playful spirit who will bring love, joy, and entertainment to just about any household. He's good on a leash and loves to chase the tennis ball around the backyard.

 

If you would like to make Jabbar 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, Moreno Valley, CA.

 

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.
