My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This darling boy is Barold! We are sure his story is one with many chapters in his short life thus far, and unfortunately we are saddened to guess what his background may have been. Arriving with extreme skin issues, wounds, and tenderness with walking - CVHS has been tasked with treating and caring for him in many ways. Now on the up and up, this cute little shadow-in-dog-form is ready for a home!
Barold enjoys mosying about and staying close with his human caretakers in the yard during cleanup, but will also spend time sniffing about. The occasional zoomies happen as he is slowly but surely coming out of his shell and showing us how sweet he can be!

Barold found himself a temporary home with a wonderful family who clearly cared for him and while they had much love to give, it was apparent this home was just not quite the match for everyone. We are so appreciative for the time and attention they offered this guy, as it allowed for an insight into what home life with Barold should look like going forward.

Barold would do best in a home teenagers and older - he has lived with littles, but it's apparent he would do best in a home of mature residents. He enjoys hanging out to chill, but also loves to go on walks and hikes in the nice weather! He has done well at dog parks, but prefers a small group of friends to play with.

If you think Barold could be the pupper for you, then come see him today! You wont regret it :)

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The process starts by browsing the pets on our website or by visiting the shelter. If you’re looking for a particular type of animal and can’t find it online or after visiting our shelter, please try a rescue group. The shelter has a list of rescue groups for most dog breeds, and you can also find these by doing a quick search online.

Upon entering our shelter, please take time to notice all our animals. All of the animals deserve loving homes, and our goal is to match up the right pet with the right family. Please visit with staff about the behavior and personality of the animal. They have been taking care of the animal since arrival and generally know a lot about them. After a decision has been made, please return to the front desk and give the adoption counselor a tag number, name, and/or description of the animal you are interested in adopting.

Adoption Requirements
To adopt an animal from the Cedar Valley Humane Society, you must be at least 18 years old, provide a current photo ID, and have a verifiable address. If you rent, bring a copy of your lease agreement and/or your property manager’s telephone number so that we can verify the type of pet you are adopting is allowed.

More about this shelter

A brief history
Founded in 1901, the Cedar Valley Humane Society helps place thousands of animals into new adoptive homes and returns hundreds of lost pets to their owners every year. We are not affiliated with any other agency or organization, and rely solely on private donations for everything we do.

Our Mission
The Cedar Valley Humane Society is dedicated to building healthy relationships between people and animals, and eliminating cruelty, abuse and overpopulation of animals through education, adoption services and inspiring compassion for all living things.

Animals we serve
We take in lost, abandoned, and owner-surrendered dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, ferrets, and mice. At this time, we are not able to care for horses, reptiles, barnyard animals or other wild creatures.

Areas we serve
We place animals in new homes throughout the Eastern Iowa area. We provide animal control services to unincorporated Linn County and its municipalities, with the exception of Cedar Rapids, Marion, and Center Point, which have other animal control services providers. We also provide animal control services to unincorporated Benton County (dogs only), North Liberty, Swisher, Tiffin, Shueyville, Oxford, Walford, Solon, Atkins, Shellsburg, and Urbana.

Admission Policy
The Cedar Valley Humane Society is an open admission animal shelter. As such, we accept all animals regardless of health or temperament, and we will never turn away an animal in need.
