LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control is starting out the year with another eclectic mix of dogs ready to be adopted.

Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of German Shepherd, heeler, husky, Labrador Retriever, mastiff, pit bull, shepherd and Yorkshire 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.

The following dogs at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (additional dogs on the animal control Web site not listed are still “on hold”).
