LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is offering a group of mostly large breed dogs for adoption this week.
The dogs available to new homes include mixes of such breeds as Australian Shepherd, border collie, Chihuahua, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and red heeler.
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 .
