Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of Australian Shepherd, Boxer, Catahoula Leopard Dog, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, husky, Lhasa Apso, mastiff, pit bull, Pomeranian, shepherd, Shih Tzu and Treeing Walker Coonhound.
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.
