LAKEPORT, Calif. – If you’re looking to bring home a new dog or cat, Lake County Animal Care and Control’s special adoption event is still taking place and offering reduced costs.
The event, which began last Saturday, continues through this Friday.
So far this week, Animal Care and Control Director Bill Davidson said seven dogs and two cats have been adopted, more than in a normal week.
During the adoption event, the county is waiving the $30 adoption fee for dogs and the $20 fee for cats.
Cats can be adopted for $86 for females and $76 for males, which covers wellness exam, rabies, FVRCP, microchip and altering.
Female dogs range between $131 to $146, depending on size, which affects spaying costs, with male dogs costing $121. All dog adoptions include a wellness exam, rabies, DHLPP, microchip, altering, heartworm test and dog license.
Lake County Animal Care and Control is located at 4949 Helbush in Lakeport, next to the Hill Road Correctional Facility.
