Alumni Reunion with Joel Silverman

First alumni reunion brings back dozens of CBHS animals

On July 2, over 100 pets and their owners gathered in Gateway Park in downtown Cedar Falls for the Cedar Bend Humane Society's first alumni reunion. Special guest Joel Silverman, star of Animal Planet's Good Dog U and author of "What Color is Your Dog?" was a big hit with the crowd.

Labs, chihuahuas, dachshunds and dogs of every shape and size adopted from the Cedar Bend Humane Society enjoyed food and fun. One cat even made an appearance. Pet owners were treated to an hour-long seminar and demonstration by Silverman. He informed those in attendance that each dog has a different personality and they need to use different training methods and even different rewards for each personality type.

The alumni reunion was a fundraiser for the Cedar Bend Humane Society's new adoption center. Construction for the center began in mid-May and is expected to be finished in October. A grand opening celebration will be held at the Sky Event Centre in November.
