LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control this week has another group of dogs from a variety of breeds and backgrounds.
The dogs – six males and two females – include mixes of German Shepherd, boxer, golden retriever, pit bull, Shih Tzu, Manchester Terrier, toy fox terrier and Catahoula Leopard Dog.
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 .
