LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control this week is offering a group of mostly big, active dogs, waiting for new homes.
This week’s dogs include mixes of Catahoula leopard dog, German Shepherd, golden retriever, hound, pit bull and shepherd.
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.
