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:

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
