LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has mixes of various working dog breeds needing new homes this week.
This week's available dogs include mixes of Beagle, cattle dog, dachshund, Doberman Pinscher, pit bull, Shar Pei, shepherd, terrier and Viszla.
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.
