CLEARLAKE, Calif. — Clearlake Animal Control maintained a high release rate in 2022 and now has many dogs for adoption.
At Thursday night’s Clearlake City Council meeting, Clearlake Police Lt. Martin Snyder, who oversees the shelter, reported on the shelter’s statistics for the 2022 calendar year.
He said 389 dogs were taken into the shelter last year.
Of those, 303 have left the shelter. Snyder said those include 169 that went to rescues, 102 that were returned to their owners and 30 were adopted.
Snyder said there were a total of three euthanizations — two for medical reasons and one at the request of an owner.
That leaves the shelter with a 99% release rate, Snyder said.
On Thursday, shelter staff brought “Noah” for a visit to the council. He’s a 3 to 4 year old male American pit bull terrier who is a staff and shelter favorite.
They said he would do well with other dogs and probably cats and he’s neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations.
Dogs recently adopted include “Snowball,” a male American Staffordshire terrier mix, and “Maya,” a female German shepherd.
There currently are 37 adoptable dogs at the shelter, with staff hoping to find them loving homes.
The shelter is located at 6820 Old Highway 53. It’s open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
