Compatible Canine: Katie
Katie is a 2 year old Pit-Bull whose owner reluctantly gave her sweet canine up to the Cedar Valley Humane Society because of a change in lifestyle. Katie is known to be great with other animals and children. She misses having a happy home to call her own. Could you give her the home she deserves?

Program Launch: Black Dog Society
 In our Last issue we highlighted Black Dog and Cat Syndrome, defined
as "the low adoption and high owner surrender rate of black dogs and cats in
shelters." We can't pinpoint why Black Dog and Cat
Syndrome exists for sure, but at the Cedar Valley Humane Society we wanted to
do something to help bring light to the "dark" truth.
Cedar Valley Humane Society is launching our very own "Black Dog Society" targeted at pet owners who have
dogs with 50% or more black fur. If
you adopt a dog with 50% or more black fur from the Cedar Valley Humane
Society, the first year of membership is on us! Anyone with a black
dog can join for $25, too!
Membership in the Black Dog Society includes:
*Annual
event exclusively for Black Dog Society members
*FREE
sitting (value of $75) from Ambroja Pet Photography for your black dog
*Welcome
goody bag filled with treats especially for your lovable black canine
*Sense of pride in knowing you are helping educate the
community about Black Dog and Cat Syndrome and giving black dogs the love and
attention they deserve
Sign up today! Also, keep your eye out for our Black Cat Society to debut soon!

Happy Tail
Tiny the bunny f ound her forever home with Meredith in April. Says Meredith of Tiny, "She is doing great. She enjoys racing around my living and dining area of my apartment. She now hops up onto the couch with or without me there. She loves trying to chew on my jeans or go where she isn't supposed to go (very determined bunny). She also enjoys making a mess out of her cage, but is happy to hop back into it after I've cleaned it. I have attached a picture of her out relaxing in my apartment. She even enjoyed a week at my moms with her two cats when the air conditioning in my apartment went out just in time for the 1st round of hot and humid weather." Thanks for sharing your happy tail with us, Meredith! We're glad to know you and Tiny are doing well together! Remember, YOU can send us your happy tail, too!
