LAKEPORT, Calif. – It's hard not to like a handsome fellow with beautiful brown eyes and black hair.
That's the case with this male shepherd mix waiting for a new home at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
Shelter staff believes he is a mix of Australian Shepherd and some other shepherd – possibly German – and maybe some other cattle dog-type breeds mixed in.
He's a very nice dog, silly and smiley, and highly intelligent.
The shelter's evaluator estimates he is 2 years old, walks well on a leash and knows some basic commands.
While he would do best in a home without cats, he was successfully introduced to other dogs and also showed no food aggression or guarding when tested.
The evaluator concluded he would do well with children age 7 and older, and called him a “great and affectionate” dog.
He's in kennel No. 31, ID No. 4197.
There are many other dogs needing homes at the shelter, which is full as the year draws to a close.
