Husky and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Riverside, California

This little lady grew up in an amazing loving foster home during that time we learned that Mentone is definitely a dog's dog - she absolutely thrives around other pups!

She came home and immediately started playing and snuggling with our dogs, and even tried to make friends with our cats!
