Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of boxer, Cane Corso mastiff, Chihuahua, Labrador Retriever, mastiff, miniature pinscher, pit bull, Rhodesian Ridgeback, spaniel 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.
