LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The shelter at Lake County Animal Care and Control is once again filled up with dogs in need of new homes, including a new group of puppies.

This week’s dogs include mixes of Chihuahua, German Shepherd, golden retriever, pit bull, shepherd and wirehaired terrier.

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 .
