The Cedar Valley Humane Society (CVHS) provides animal care and adoption services to more than 2,000 animals each year. It takes in homeless animals (strays), owner-surrendered animals, and rescued animals. The shelter team carefully evaluates the temperament and overall health of each animal, and then works to place each animal with an ideal family. The CVHS also works with many other organizations to provide services and to educate the public on a variety of animal-related issues including, but not limited to, the benefits of spaying/neutering pets, basic pet care needs, and lost pet prevention. It also hosts low cost dog obedience training classes, animal socialization programs, and other programming such as Pets for Vets, Cat Companions, Kids who Care Cat Tales, and low cost vaccine clinics that aim to ensure the welfare of animals in Eastern Iowa and beyond.
ANIMALS THEY SERVE
The CVHS has spent more than 100 years working to be at the forefront of animal sheltering and welfare. It is also a regional leader in helping at-risk families with pets stay together. In the last two years, the shelter has helped over 6,000 animals that might otherwise be surrendered to a shelter through its low-cost vaccine clinics and free pet food bank.
It also provides many unique services such as the Humane Education Program. This program provides staff and volunteers the ability to educate students both in and out of the classroom and engage the leaders of tomorrow about the humane treatment of animals.
The CVHS provides animal control services to cities and towns in Johnson and Benton Counties as well as the unincorporated areas of Linn County. Bypassing the traditional “dog catcher” model of other shelters, the CVHS instead works closely with the communities it serves to quickly reunite lost pets with their families at a more economical cost than city or county-run animal control services.
