My story

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

If you like ‘em chunky, charming, and confident, you’re about to meet your match. Moto Moto rolled into our care as a stray, and yes—he really does look like his movie namesake. Short, stout, and built like a tank made of mashed potatoes, this round guy is impossible not to smile at! We`re not sure on his breed, but maybe a low-rider bowling ball??

The constant kennel life @ the shelter is not a vibe for Moto. It stresses him out and makes it hard for him to show off his true personality. But bring him into an office or a quiet room, and he transforms into a chilled-out sidekick who loves hanging nearby and supervising your Zoom calls. He’s an excellent work-from-home companion—just don’t expect him to type; his paws are… not built for it.

Moto Moto is very much a “humans only” kind of guy. Other dogs? No thanks. Cats? Hard pass. Young kids? A little too exciting for him. He’s looking for a calm, committed home with adults or teens who get that he’s a one-and-only king.

He does great with both men and women, he’s an all in kind of guy—loyal, goofy, and ready to waddle his way right into your heart. Although being in a kennel during his shelter stay is not his favorite, he does crate nicely when it`s time to clean for the day.

If you’ve got a soft spot for a solid-bodied sweetheart with a big personality, & Moto sounds like he might be a match, swing by and meet him today! He may not run fast, but he’ll race to win you over! He`s all about the good life and hopes you are too: belly rubs, baths, and majestic leash walks where he shows off his glorious waddle.

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.
