How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – New canine friends are waiting to meet you this week at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter.
This week's dogs feature mixes of Australian Shepherd, border collie, boxer, cattle dog, Chihuahua, Labrador Retriever, pit bull and shepherd.
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.
