LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has several new dogs cleared for adoption to new homes this week.

The dogs offered adoption this week include mixes of Great Dane, 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.
