LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – No matter the size, age or breed of dog you're looking to add to your family, you are likely to find one that is the perfect fit amongst this week's adoptable canines at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
From little Papillon and Chihuahua mixes, up to dogs with lab, boxer, beagle and pug ancestry, the selection of dogs needing homes is large.
Dogs that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are either neutered or spayed, microchipped and, if old enough, given a rabies shot and county license before being released to their new owner. License fees do not apply to residents of the cities of Lakeport or Clearlake.
If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets hoping you'll choose them.
In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
