Black dogs and cats are generally the last to be adopted in shelters and are given up to shelters by their owners in much larger numbers. Those involved in animal welfare have dubbed this phenomena “Black Dog and Cat Syndrome.”
That’s why we’re launching the Black Dog Society. If your dog has 50% or more black fur, you and your dog qualify. Membership in the society is $25 a year, and if you adopt a 50%-or-more black dog from the Cedar Valley Humane Society, the first year’s membership is on us!
The benefits of joining:
•annual event exclusively for all black dogs and their owners
•FREE sitting (valued at $75) for your black dog from Ambroja Photography
•treat-filled goody bag
•sense of pride knowing that you are helping educate the community about Black Dog and Cat Syndrome and giving black dogs the love and attention they deserve
To join the Black Dog Society, contact Sarah Larison at (319) 362-6288 or sarah.larison@cvhumane.org.

Support K9 Cola
K9COLA is a volunteer group that supports the development of off-leash areas (OLAs) in the Cedar Rapids area. We provide the community with educational information about OLAs, raise money for Park development projects, and support ongoing Park maintenance. Please check out our mission statement and values from our By-Laws.
Here are the position descriptions for the K9COLA Board. Please email Marie at marie@k9cola.org if you might be interested in a Board position. View our Board Goals for 2009.
Tax-deductible donations to K9COLA help pay for an electronic newsletter to keep you informed about upcoming events, fundraisers, changes in Park policies, and park etiquette reminders, as well as dog training and care tips and ideas. The money is used to add Park improvements and amenities, such as benches, trees, shelters, and dog toys. We are currently raising money to help develop an entirely new park following the devastating flooding in the summer of 2008.
The K9COLA group offers many volunteer opportunities, and works to educate the public through pamphlets, handouts, and public events such as parades, presentations, and information tables at local retail stores and dog-related events.
Interested volunteers serve on the Board of Directors and on various committees, vote on changes in Park policy, give their input on Park improvements, and volunteer for events, trash pick-up, information tables, and refilling bag holders at the Park, and for scheduled work days. Everyone interested in local off-leash areas can attend the monthly K9COLA meeting to share their ideas.
