LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is planning another of its special adoption events.
The event, which will take place from Monday, Sept. 30, through Saturday, Oct. 5, will allow those who want to add a new friend to their home to do so at reduced rates.
This is the second of the special adoption events held this year. The previous one took place in April.
The Board of Supervisors approved the creation of an amnesty program in February 2012 that allows Animal Care and Control to hold up to four such events a year in an effort to increase adoption rates. The adoption events include a county adoption fee waiver.
Animal Care and Control Director Bill Davidson said the county adoption fee waiver will result in a $20 cost reduction in cats and $30 cost reduction for dogs.
He said the cost to adopt cats – which includes a health exam, altering, vaccinations and microchip – will cost $76 for males and $86 for females.
For dogs, males will cost $121 to adopt, with females under 60 pounds costing $131 and $146 for those over 60 pounds. He said the total cost for dogs includes health exam, altering, vaccinations, heartworm test, microchip and license.
Lake County Animal Care and Control is located at 4949 Helbush in Lakeport, next to the Hill Road Correctional Facility.
