LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is starting off the new year with a variety of mostly working dog breeds offered for adoption.
The dogs available this week are mixes of Australian Cattle Dog, Chihuahua, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, pit bull terrier and retriever.
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.
