LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control has many types of terriers waiting for new homes for Thanksgiving.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of Australian Shepherd, Chihuahua, Patterdale terrier/Fell terrier, 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.
