HCSCCL Participates in Empty Shelter Day

The Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake is excited to participate in Empty the Shelter Adoption Event. Summer is one of the worst times for shelters with what seems to be the endless stream of strays and owner surrenders.

All animals are available on a first-come, first-serve basis – NO HOLDS – to qualified adopters. Adoption will include spay/neuters, shots, rabies, worming, and a microchip. Only animals currently at the shelter are available during the event. Regular adoption fees apply to the cats located at any of our off-site adoption events.

Empty the Shelter partners invite the public to come out and find their perfect match on Empty the Shelter Day, to be held on Saturday, August 16, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Looking to Place a Foreign Exchange Student

The Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake needs help with placement of a foreign exchange student.

From the Rotary Club, via the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce:

We have a Swedish boy, foreign exchange student whose host family backed out at the last minute. We are looking for host families … He is supposed to arrive sometime this month. He plays tennis and probably speaks better English than we do. If we can find two host families in MISD then he could go to Mabank High School. He is probably a Senior. Typically the dates are from August – December for the first family then from January to June or July when he would leave to go home for the second family. The family responsibility is to provide room, three meals a day and transportation to and from school, events, Rotary stuff etc. If you would like more information, please contact Barbara Turner at 903-498-4636. She is the Youth Exchange person in our Rotary district and can answer all the questions everyone has.
