It's the perfect time to add a dog or cat to your home without breaking the budget.
The Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake Humane Society will waive adoption fees Aug. 15 in an effort to find homes for all of the homeless dogs and cats housed there.
It is the second year for North Texas animal shelters to sponsor "Clear the Shelters Day." NBC Channel 5 of Dallas-Fort Worth is partnering in the effort, and about 50 animal shelters across North Texas will join in the effort.
Last year, more than 2,000 animals found homes during one day, thanks to the campaign. This year's event is expected to be larger and more successful, organizers said.
Dozens of animals are available in the Cedar Creek Lake area. All adoption fees, including those for spaying and neutering and vaccinations will be waived in addition to the basic adoption fees.
