How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKEPORT, Calif. – Looking for a special four-legged friend to join your family?
Among the dogs and puppies available for adoption this week at Lake County Animal Care and Control are some with special needs – including a Great Dane named “Lola” and a senior pug with sight issues.
Thanks to Lake County Animal Care and Control’s new veterinary clinic, many of the animals offered for adoption already are spayed or neutered and ready to go home with their new families.
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.
The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
