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."

The pictures of Billi at Georgia and Tommy's second wedding, which was held in Mallorca, come after her ex Andy Carroll was quizzed by police. The Sun on Sunday has exclusively revealed how the ex-Premier League footballer was questioned over bust-ups with his girlfriend Lou Teasdale on the Greek party island Mykonos. Carroll and make-up artist to the stars Lou are said to have rowed at a packed beachside restaurant and then at their hotel. One worker at the Nikolus Tavern said of the first argument: 'We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately. 'He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. 'He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.' Police arrived after the first incident and took the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham ace to one side for a chat. He was later allowed to return to Lou. But just hours later, police were called again by alarmed staff after reports of damage to the couple's room at a £500-a-night boutique hotel. Andy Carroll quizzed by cops twice after bust-ups with girlfriend at packed restaurant and hotel during Greek holiday Officers are said to have escorted Carroll to a local station for questioning. He was not arrested and it is understood no further action was taken. A joint statement from Carroll and Lou said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. 'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us. 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.' The Mykonos hotel and police on the island declined to comment when contacted. Meanwhile, Billi touched down in Mallorca last week ahead of Georgia and Tommy's wedding. The mum-of-three, who also looks after Carroll's two eldest children from a previous relationship, looked incredible as she showed her ex what he is missing in a bikini. She has since shared a selection of photos from Georgia and Tommy's big day. They previously said 'I do' in 2023. Billi gushed: "Congratulations @georgiakousoulou & @iamtommyfordham. "The best day & night celebrating you both ❤️." Billi announced her split with Carroll in October last year. He confirmed his romance with Lou just weeks later. 7 Andy and Billi split in August last year after two rocky years of marriage Credit: Getty 7 The pair have three kids together and Andy has two children from a previous relationship Credit: Instagram
