Camilla wanted another dog after her beloved Jack Russell Terrier Beth, who also came from the same charity, died aged 13 in November last year.
Moley, now around 20 weeks old, has been seen for the first time after Camilla shared a cute snap of her alongside the pooch ahead of a visit by the royal to the Dog Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show on Monday.
In the sweet picture, Camilla, donning a summery dress, can be seen holding Moley in her arms as she sits in a garden space.
The post on The Royal Family's Instagram page was captioned: "Meet mischievous Moley, The Queen's new much-loved canine companion who was recently adopted from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, where Her Majesty is Patron.
"Tomorrow, The Queen will visit The Royal Horticultural Society and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show."
Buckingham Palace also shared a second adorable picture of Moley standing tall on a wooden chair, with her ears perked up.
The Queen had jokingly revealed in February, while on a visit to a museum in Canterbury, Kent, how she had chosen Moley's name.
Speaking to a fellow dog owner, she said: 'I've just got a new puppy, she's eight weeks old.'
When asked what breed Moley was, Camilla laughed: 'A bit of everything.
'It's a rescue dog. It's called Moley — it looks just like a mole.'

Moley was born on Boxing Day to a Jack Russell mum and unknown dad at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
Camilla has served as a patron for the animal rescue charity since 2016, succeeding the late Queen Elizabeth II.
In addition to adopting Beth and Moley, Camilla also adopted her Jack Russell Terrier Bluebell from the same charity in 2012.
After Beth was put down last year, the King told TV star Amanda Holden at the Royal Variety Performance that they had planned to get a new dog.
On Monday, the Queen will attend RHS Chelsea Flower Show and visit a special Dog Garden.
In the Instagram post which shared Moley for the first time, the family explained: "The garden, designed with dogs in mind, features grass areas for dogs to enjoy and a large tree providing shade.
"The brick paths are inscribed with the names of dogs belonging to Radio 2 presenters and RHS ambassadors, as well as Monty Don's beloved dog Ned, to reflect the special place dogs hold in the nation's hearts and gardens.
"The names of The Queen's adopted Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell and her new puppy, Moley will feature on the path, alongside that of her much loved dog Beth, who passed away last year.
"The name of The King's dog, Snuff, is also included on the path. The Garden for Dogs will live on after RHS Chelsea, at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JUSTIN Timberlake fans have been left fearing for the 'tired' star after a series of "lazy" performances. Singer Justin, 44, who is due to wrap up The Forget Tomorrow World Tour on 30 July, has come under fire in recent months for what some attendees have labelled 'embarrassing' and lacklustre shows. 4 Justin Timberlake fans have been left fearing for the 'tired' star after a series of "lazy" performances on his world tour Credit: Getty Several fans have even demanded their money back. Justin has been accused of 'hardly singing' and relying too heavily on the crowd, with many branding his performances 'lazy'. After one particular show in Tbilisi, Georgia, on July 23, a wave of support also emerged on social media, with fans urging the pop icon to rest. 'I can't believe it's almost over! Going to miss you so much, but I know you are TIRED!!! So rest up good and we can do it all over again!' one person wrote. Another added: 'I saw you in Atlanta in November and you were amazing. Best concert I've been to. I think you just need a break and to recharge. You've been doing this tour for a year.' But not everyone was so forgiving. Disgruntled ticket-holders continued to vent frustration online, asking: 'Why he treating performing like a side job?!' and 'How many words did you sing?' A third asked: 'Did he sing finally?' while a fourth fumed: 'When are the audience getting paid for their performance?' One more raged: 'Imagine paying $600 to watch the crowd at a Justin Timberlake concert sing his songs.' One viral post, which racked up hundreds of thousands of likes read: 'Justin Timberlake really thought he could do the bare minimum & get away with it? Nicky Byrne shares video from Justin Timberlake "Nah. People didn't drop $500 to watch a lifeless karaoke act. No energy, no vocals, just vibes gone wrong. "The crowd walking out says it all. It's mediocre performance. It's time to stop!' It's not the first time in the tour that Justin's left his fans upset. Back in February, he caused a furore after canceling one of his gigs just moments before being due to perform. 4 He is due to wrap up The Forget Tomorrow World Tour on 30 July Credit: Getty 4 He has come under fire in recent months for 'embarrassing' and lacklustre shows Credit: Getty 4 Justin has been accused of 'hardly singing' and relying too heavily on the crowd Credit: Instagram Wrapping up his tour at Columbus, Ohio's Nationwide Arena, Justin failed to show up and canceled at the very last minute - leaving concert goers feeling sad and angry. "You guys, I'm heartbroken, I have to cancel the show tonight," Justin penned in a statement that shared the reason why he wouldn't be taking to the stage. The SexyBack hitmaker then said: "I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. "It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen. "I want to reassure you, you'll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all." And, last October, Justin canceled a show in Newark, New Jersey, just hours before the gig. Later in the month, the pop star pulled the plug on a further SIX shows when he was struck down with laryngitis and bronchitis. One person due to attend the N*Sync star's Ohio concert this week has shared a video on X of fans in their droves departing the venue. "Everyone leaving Nationwide Arena because Justin Timberlake cancelled the LAST tour date after already rescheduling from October. 10 minutes before the opener and after doors opened," the person wrote. Someone replied to the video with their own first hand experience, saying: "Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke. "Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this." 'UNACCEPTABLE' Elsewhere online, another person addressed the cancelation in a seething message: "Canceling [because] of being sick is 100% understandable.. Canceling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable." A second person echoed: "The show was canceled at 7:30 and the show was supposed to start at 8:00, I'm sorry if you have the flu you would've know before 1/2hour before the show starts. "There were little kids standing in line that was devastated that you canceled. "Shame on you."

Gemma Owen stuns in an all-white ensemble as she enjoys a rare family outing with mum Louise and dad Michael at Goodwood Festival
Gemma Owen turned heads in an all-white ensemble as she enjoyed a rare family outing with her proud parents Michael and Louise at Goodwood Festival on Tuesday. The Love Island star, 22, looked incredible in a crisp white blouse tucked into a A-line maxi skirt. She added inches to her slender frame with a pair of black heels and shielded her eyes with chic black sunglasses. Her mum Louise, who married footballer Michael in 2005, looked elegant in a light blue lace co-ord. She added a pair of silver open-toe heels and accessorised with silver jewellery. Meanwhile dad Michael put on a dapper display in a navy blue suit paired with a blue shirt and brown shoes. The family all appeared in high spirits as they beamed at the camera while entering the venue. Her outing comes it was revealed in February that Gemma has been setting up her own home since moving out of her family's £4million mansion. In a string of Instagram posts, Gemma revealed her bedroom and kitchen have been transformed, with a muted new décor. One video showed the before and after of her newly-renovated kitchen which is packed with grey appliances, and gold accents and fixtures. Her living room and bedroom continued with the all-grey theme, including metallic blinds, cabinets and matching satin pillows. However, Gemma faced backlash from some users online, after revealing that the renovation was part of a collaboration with a well-known design company, meaning it's likely she didn't pay a penny for the work. In exchange, Gemma promoted the company on her Instagram page, writing: 'Cottage kitchen reno… 'I'm so in love with my kitchen transformation by the incredible team at @prestigedesignyorkshire who have shared my excitement for the project throughout. I'm so happy with the glow up, it's everything that I wanted & more. @prestigedesignyorkshire.' Prior to moving into her cottage, Gemma had been living with her parents at their £4 million mansion in the Welsh countryside (pictured together at the house in 2022) Gemma, who rose to fame on Love Island also shared videos of her new bedroom, while gushing over the luxurious new blinds and curtains she received from Dutch Limes Oak flooring. The clip revealed the star's enormous bed, alongside a sleek, white built-in wardrobe. Prior to moving into her cottage, Gemma had been living with her parents at their £4 million mansion in the Welsh countryside. Ahead of her first stint on the show she admitted that her England legend father 'wasn't happy' about her signing up but he trusted her not to 'embarrass' him. The swimwear brand owner told MailOnline at the time that Michael resisted having a 'tantrum' after learning she will be on the dating show, and eventually gave his blessing, saying: 'I'm not going to tell you what to do.' She said: 'I still wouldn't say that my dad is buzzing about me doing Love Island. 'He's very supportive in whatever I decide to do. He didn't have a massive tantrum or anything like that. 'He was pretty chilled, he trusts me not to do anything to embarrass him. He took it quite well. 'He didn't say I couldn't do this or give me any dos or don'ts. He said I'm not going to tell you what to do, I trust you, you have never given us a reason not to trust you, go for it but I will always have my family's thoughts and opinions in the forefront of my mind because we are all super close and they are the most important people to me.'
