LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has another broad selection of dogs this week, from big to little dogs, puppies to seniors.
The dogs available this week include mixes of border collie, boxer, cattle dog, Chihuahua, dachshund, German Shepherd, husky, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and wirehaired terrier mix.
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.
