My story

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

Meet our friend Luna! She is a Great Dane mix weighing in at about 130 lbs of pure love. Unlike the super sleek and leggy Danes you may be picturing, Luna is a more solid — a sturdy, (but beautiful) girl with an even bigger heart to match her size! We love her personality of `hey guys!` on a daily basis.

Right now, Luna is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where she can comfortably recover from a recent leg surgery. She needed surgical intervention to help provide care for what is the human equivalent of ACL. CVHS will continue to cover her food, supplies, and medical care during this recovery period.

Things to know about this girl`s personality: Luna absolutely loves being outside — soaking up the fresh air, lounging in the yard, and taking in the world around her. At the same time, she’s just as happy curling up in a cozy indoor spot for a long nap. She’ll make a wonderful indoor/outdoor companion for someone who appreciates a dog that enjoys both adventure and relaxation! Luna has lived successfully with other dogs in the past, but activity and play will need to be limited for now while she heals. She unfortunately is not good with cats, so no feline friends for Luna please. She has done well around children, but because she is a very large dog, thoughtful supervision and sturdy kiddos are recommended!

What now?

As she continues healing from surgery, Luna needs a calm, structured home environment with limited activity and controlled movement (no free rein zoomies just yet!)
Someone committed to helping her safely recover while the rescue supports her medical needs.
Luna walks well on leash and has an overall enjoyable and easygoing personality. What she truly needs most right now is a loving, patient home where she can rest, heal, and feel secure while awaiting final adoption.

If you have room in your home — and your heart — for a gentle giant who just needs a soft landing spot to recover, Luna may be your perfect match!

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.
