Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake clears animal shelter, at least temporarily




The "Clear the Shelter Day" at the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake succeeded far beyond organizers' expectations.

Every cat and dog housed at the animal shelter in Tool found a home Saturday, Aug. 15, during the national event that saw 17,000 animals across the nation adopted. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, 2,900 animals found homes.

The local shelter adopted out 48 dogs and cats, surpising staff and volunteers who had hoped to see at least half of the population leave.

"It was a long, productive day," Acting Manager Kortni Lucas said of the one event day during which animal shelters across the country waived all adoption fees, including those for vaccinations and neutering surgeries.

"We are asking people to post pictures of them with their pets on Facebook or to send them to me so I can post them," Lucas said. "We are so excited to see them. We were so happy to see those animals' lives saved."

Unfortunately, the shelter wasn't empty for long. Lucas said the shelter took in seven new pets on Monday, and that another seven were on their way.

"It won't be empty for long," she said.

So if you didn't get to adopt a pet over the weekend, there will be plenty more available in the days to come. Adoption fees will apply, but the company of a loyal pet is well worth the cost.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 64 degrees; 0.21 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Slowly retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days.
