LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Three dogs are waiting at Lake County Animal Care and Control to go to new homes.

The three male dogs include a pit bull mix, a boxer-pit bull cross and a little terrier-Shih Tzu. They range in age from 8 months to 3 years.

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.
