Flood of 2008

Update: The CVHS Adoption Center is open.  For those in our community who are able - now is a very good time to consider adopting a new pet.

The CVHS is also serving as an intermediary for Flood Victims in need of  finding a temporary home for their animals and those in the community who are willing to house animals on a temporary basis.  An e-mail and phone number have been established by the CVHS specifically for this purpose.  Both parties can contact the CVHS at SaveAFloodPet@mchsi.com or 319-210-8009.  The phone number has been set up to accept voicemails only, so calls will be returned by the CVHS.  Staff at the CVHS will then help connect both parties. 

Donations:

We are currently accepting donations to help our efforts at the CVHS & to supply victims of the flood with pets supplies. Monetary donations as well as pet items are welcome. ie: leashes, cat litter pans, litter scoopers, cat litter, dog & cat food. Shelter supplies:  liquid laundry soap, extra large trash can bags, bleach

Flood Victims:

Those with pets and in need of supplies due to the flood can pick up pet supplies free of charge at the CVHS Mon-Fri 8-5 pm & Sat 9-4. Sunday by appointment.

Adopting a Pet?

WONDERFUL, but first consider the following:

A pet is for a lifetime. Our shelter is full of pets that have been abandoned... more

 

 

Donations of Food:

The CVHS is excited to announce a new partnership with the Hill's Company.  Free of charge the Hill's Company will be supplying the CVHS with enough Science Diet Food to feed all the Dogs & Cats in our care.  This is an ongoing program which will make life easier for the animals.  Historically,  we have served the dogs & cats a mixture of donated foods.  Constantly changing the food our pets eat can lead to upset stomachs & other digestive ailments.  By serving the Science Diet food we can make sure everyone is on a consistent diet.  In the past the CVHS has been blessed with generous donations of both dog & cat food from our community.  These gifts have been priceless.  Although Hill's will now be supplying our dry dog & cat food- We Still Need Your Help.  The need for cash donations to help pay for medical expenses, basic operational expenses & such has never been greater.  If you would rather purchase goods to help out the animals,

Please put the following at the top of your list:

     1.  Canned cat food (kittens prefer pate rather than the large chunks)

     2.  Rawhide Bones

     3.  Dog & Cat Treats

    4.  Cat Litter (both clay & scoopable)

    5.  Bleach/Liquid Laundry Soap/Dish Soap

    6.  Gift Cards
