LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has a kennel filled with dogs of various sizes and breeds needing homes this week.
The mixes include dachshunds, Labrador Retrievers, Vizslas, a chow chow, pit bull and 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.
