CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Animal Control is offering many dogs to new homes this week.
The available dogs are Apollo, Bruce, Dingo, Neptune, Robby, Titan, Tory and Trudy.
To meet the animals, call Clearlake Animal Control at 707-994-8201 and speak to Marcia at Extension 103 Monday through Thursday, or leave a message at any other time.
‘Apollo’
“Apollo” is a 1-year-old male who shelter staff said was rescued from a heartbreaking case of neglect.
He was severely underweight at 31 pounds – described as just skin and bones, and starving for attention – but since then he’s gained 12 pounds and “has come a long way in every way,” said staff, who added he holds a special place in the hearts of the officers who saved him.
Apollo is very friendly with people and would make a great dog for an active family. He has moments of low confidence and pushy, assertive behavior so Innovative Dog Training & Education is donating some free training to his adopters as well as some free playgroup sessions to his adopters to help nurture a confident social dog.
He is recommended as the perfect dog for a dominant female or stable male dogs who will take him under their wing and teach him a few things. Apollo also is good with both adults and older, respectful children.
‘Bruce’
“Bruce” is 6 months old. He weighs 30 pounds and has been neutered.
He’s good with other dogs and children. He’s not been tested with cats.
Shelter staff said he is still very much a puppy who is playful, energetic and loves to chew. He will need help with learning manners.
Bruce is vaccinated and ready for adoption.
‘Dingo’
“Dingo” is described by shelter staff as a happy, friendly boy who is a true people dog.
He is 2 years old, weighs about 45 pounds, and is good with both adults and children.
Dingo likes to be by your side, has nice manners and sits for treats like a true gentleman. He also loves to play ball and probably Frisbee, too.
Shelter staff said he is great with other nice dogs, but has low confidence and prefers people. He will benefit from more socialization.
‘Neptune’
“Neptune” is 2 years old and weighs 65 pounds. He has been neutered.
Shelter staff said he is good with other dogs and children, but has not been tested with cats.
He has a mellow disposition, loves to play fetch and tug-o-war. Shelter staff said he is a “super friendly guy” who needs some leash work.
Neptune is vaccinated and ready for adoption or can go to rescue.
‘Robbie’
“Robbie” is a young basset hound mix.
Shelter staff said is he around a year and a half old and weighs 50 pounds.
He walks well on a leash, makes friends with other dogs, and is playful but not super active.
Robbie is vaccinated, was neutered and had a full dental cleaning.
He has undergone heartworm treatment.
‘Titan’
“Titan” is a 3-year-old male Catahoula mix with amazing blue eyes and weighing 70 pounds. He has been neutered.
Titan is good with other dogs and children, but has not been tested with cats.
Shelter staff said Titan needs slow introductions to men, but he’s easy to win over with treats.
He loves to play fetch and loves the water. He’s also great on a leash and loves to go for walks.
Shelter staff said Titan needs stability back in his life. He was picked up as a stray after having been unsuccessfully homed when his family had a new baby.
Titan is vaccinated and is available for adoption or can go to rescue.
‘Tory’
“Tory” is a 2-year-old female Lab mix. She weighs 50 pounds and has a short fawn coat.
Shelter staff said she is good with both children and adults, is nonreactive with cats and is “selective and assertive” with other dogs, meaning, she would do best with a social male or submissive female.
She’s reported to be calm and sweet, loves to take walks and is amazing on leash.
‘Trudy’
“Trudy” is a cute 1- to 2-year-old female Labrador Retriever mix who weighs about 45 pounds.
She had been adopted but was returned for wanting too much love, shelter staff reported.
Shelter staff said she loves to play in water, is social but selective with other dogs, and is good with adults and older, respectful children.
She is active and would be a great companion for adventure or a working sidekick on a ranch.
Trudy needs more socialization and would benefit from additional training and playgroups.
