Animal shelters across the nation will be participating in “Clear the Shelter Day 2017” Saturday, Sept. 19.
Shelters in the Cedar Creek Lake will open their doors as well, waiving adoption fees for people who want to adopt animals.
It is the fourth year for North Texas animal shelters to host the annual event, which has resulted in thousands of homeless animals to be adopted.
The Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake is at 10200 County Road 2043 in Tool. The Henderson County Humane Society is at 901 W. College St. in Athens.
The shelters will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
