LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control this week will begin offering dogs rescued from the Sulphur fire area for adoption to the general public, along with the dogs in the general shelter population that also are waiting for new homes.
The dogs offered adoption this week – including the Sulphur fire dogs – include mixes of border collie, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Lhasa Apso, pit bull, poodle, shepherd, Shih Tzu, and 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.
