LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Dogs from all sorts of backgrounds and breeds are waiting for new homes at Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
Dogs available to new homes this week include mixes of border collie, boxer, Chihuahua, chow chow, corgi, dachshund, Labrador Retriever, McNab, pit bull, shepherd and wirehaired terrier.
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.
