LAKEPORT, Calif. – And then there was one.

Four weeks after adoptions began for Valley fire animals that had not been reclaimed, 49 of the 50 animals – 27 cats, nine dogs, eight goats, three horses and two chickens – have gone to new homes.

That just leaves one dog, according to Animal Care and Control Director Bill Davidson.

When adoptions began on Oct. 29, the animals had been held for several weeks, according to Davidson, who pledged that none of the Valley fire's surviving animals in his agency's care would be euthanized but that every effort would be made to rehome them.

On the first day of adoptions, 20 of the animals were adopted – 11 cats, four dogs, three horses and two chickens, as Lake County News has reported. Eight goats made available a week later also went on the first day they were offered.

For the last few weeks, it's been primarily cats and dogs left needing homes.

The last of the cats were adopted on Tuesday, Davidson said, with one going to a rescue and another cat with special needs to be picked up by an out-of-county adopter on Thursday.

The remaining dog is a male pit bull mix with a short gray and white coat that Davidson estimates is 3 years old.

The friendly dog was brought to Animal Care and Control on Oct. 1 by a person who Davidson said had found it a few days earlier behind the Store 24 gas station on the north end of Middletown.

At one point a person was lined up to adopt the dog, but their landlord said no, Davidson said.

Davidson said the dog gets along well with other dogs and is recommended for a family with children older than age 12.

The Board of Supervisors approved waiving all county adoption fees for Valley fire animals, with the exception of the spay/neuter costs.

As such, Davidson said the total cost to adopt the dog is $80.

The dog is in kennel No. 5, ID No. 3720.
