LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a group of mostly big dogs needing homes this week.
The dogs range in age from 8 months to 10 years, and are mixes of terrier, pit bull, Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, hound, boxer and Manchester Terrier.
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.
