Featured Feline:
Skye
Skye was found with her companion Eartha in a cardboard box abandoned by the roadside. She is a very shy girl who loves to cuddle with other kitties. We think she would do best in a quiet home. Go slow to earn her trust, and she will reveal her true, sweet personality. If the beautiful Skye sounds like your girl, come meet her at PetSmart! |
|
Compatible Canine:
Sadie
Sadie came into our care as a stray in mid-December. She is a lively dog who loves affection. Sadie enjoys exploring and would make a great walking buddy! This little girl is very calm with food and toys, and we think she will make a great family dog. Stop in and meet Sadie to see if she's the dog you've been looking for. |

 Happy New Year!
The new year is always an exciting time. It's a time to welcome change and positive energy into our lives.
At the Cedar Valley Humane Society, we're excited about the many prospects 2015 brings: new opportunities to partner with other animal welfare organizations; to strengthen connections within our communities; and, of course, to give each animal who comes through our doors a fresh, new start in life.
We invite you to journey with us through this exciting year in whatever way is meaningful to you. Become a volunteer. Donate monthly. Join us on Facebook.
However you choose to, resolve to become involved!
Lonnie Viner Executive Director P.S. Kick off the new year right! Please take a moment to donate now! |

Happy Tail: Happy Holidays from Priscilla and Bentley
 We've had Priscilla and Bentley (formerly Ping and Big Boy) for a little over a year.
They are really good cats who love to explore in the backyard, get into things they shouldn't and cuddle together whenever they get the chance.
Thanks and have a great holiday season!
Dave and Sheri J.
Remember, YOU can send us your Happy Tail, too!

The nature of the universe probably depends heavily on who is the actual protagonist. Lately I've been suspecting it's one of my cats. -Wil McCarthy |
