They have a wish list as well as a list of their adoptable pets! My dog Bailey came from there in February of 2008 and she is truly a member of the family.

This is her sweet and loving

The most asked question in the Animal Control field is



"Why put animals to sleep?".

No one in the Animal Control field likes to put animals to sleep. It is a necessary job due to people's irresponsible behavior of not taking better care of their animals.
The answer is simply there are not enough homes for them all. A large number of animals enter Animal Shelters all across the United States on a daily basis. This is mostly due to not enough animals being spayed or neutered. Animals that breed at will produce 6-12 animals per litter. This cycle happens twice a year. This alone leads to a staggering number of animals. It is said a pair of uncontrolled breeding cats will produce 420,000 cats in a six year breeding life. Two dogs will produce 4,372 dogs in 7 yrs. It is not hard to see when considering how many animals are out there that are not spayed or neutered and allowed to breed at will causes the over population problem we are faced with today.

Please consider adopting a pet or donating items on the wish list!

I think this is a worthy cause so check it out! From 2cool the fishing forum

First Ever Clean Shores Event- please read
This is a repeat from a post I put up on TTMB over 12-hours ago, with less than 75 views and not a single comment. I should have mentioned something about pizza or the weather instead of the enviroment- fishing or like post get more than four times the hits over here.Almost a year ago I rallied for support for the same issue http://2coolfishing.com/ttmbforum/showthread.php?t=180588 and realized then that much more organization was needed. Well here it is, thanks for checking it out!For years and especially post hurricane IKE I've been looking at the trash and refuse that has collected on the shorelines of our Texas shorelines. I feel like the Indian chief "Iron Eyes Cody" from that 70's era pollution commercial, with tears filling my eyes as I've run parallel to our shorelines. I am sick and tired of seeing it, all of it- five-gallon buckets, aluminum cans, plastic lawn chairs, laundry baskets, plastic bags, styrofoam cups, rope...etc. You get the picture and likely way too clear if you have been on the water in any of the bays here in Texas.I've decided to do something about it by founding Clean Shores, a grass roots organization backed by like minded environmentally conscious anglers of our Lone Star State. Our goal will be to rid the shorelines of refuse through voluntary bi-annual cleanup efforts, scheduled cleaning, seasonal shoreline conditioning and by providing public education for preventative measures.The organization is in it's infancy, a website URL has been reserved (www.cleanshores.org) and the first ever cleanup is planned this month in Port O'Connor on Saturday September 26th. A board of directors have been put into place, steps to incorporate into a 501(c)(3) organization have been made and some funds have already been donated by concerned sportsman.Our plan is to provide written material outlining our mission/cleanup effort and a plastic refuse bag to each boater launching from the chosen boat ramps. Our goal is to load flat bed trailers with the refuse collected by the boaters and dispose of the waste properly.All of the boat ramp owners/managers gave us a big thumbs up, several flat bed trailers have been made available and volunteers to man the boat ramps have been put into place. My boat and at least two others will be concentrating on the Mitchell's Cut and Saluria Bayou shorelines. If you are available on that day your efforts will be greatly appreciated.Additional monetary donations are needed to offset expenses of trash bags, refreshments for participants and the costs associated with disposal of the trash. Any unused funds received will be deposited into the Clean Shores bank account for use during our next round of cleanups being planned for March 27th. Hopefully with more participation other ports and coastal communities on the Texas coast will benefit from our efforts.Donations can be made directly through PayPal (use captlowtide@airmail.net for now) or by pledging an amount for every 100 pounds of trash removed and hauled to the landfill. I already have had interest in pledges from 25 cents up to $1.00 per hundred, any donation will be greatly appreciated.Feel free to contact me via email, PM or by cell phone at 361-564-7032 with any questions or comments. Looking forward to cleaning up and making a difference- Curtiss Date- Saturday September 26thTime- 6:00 am until 5:00 pmPlace- Froggie's Bait Dock, The Fishing Center and Clark's Marina

Harvest Moon Regatta Demo 2009

One Demo Life Raft

One Lucky Volunteer

One inflatable PFD

One knowledgeable instructor

Learn to fire the raft

Saturday afternoon we made a trip to Lakewood Yacht Club to do a life raft demonstration for safety day. They are preparing racers for the up coming Harvest Moon Regatta to happen October 1st through the 3rd. Mike has done a demo for them for many years and we always love to take the opportunity to educate people on the proper use of safety equipment. Mike takes time to explain how the life raft deploys and how to use all the equipment inside. We certainly hope no one ever needs to use their life raft but if they do we feel better knowing that they will know how. These demonstrations also give us a chance to see new and old faces and perhaps meet potential customers or earn a repeat customer. In a day and age where everything can be bought from the Internet and a call center somewhere unknown to you answers all your questions it feels good to just see a face sometimes. I am a firm believer that knowledge is best gained through talking to someone knowledgeable!

We wish each race a fun and safe race! May the wind fill your sails!
