LAKEPORT, Calif. – Tall, dark and handsome, industrious, loves the outdoors.

That describes “Ike,” a 6-year-old male German Shepherd mix who is up for adoption at Lake County Animal Care and Control.

Ike is personable, gets along with other dogs and has lived around horses. He weighs about 79 pounds.

He plays a mean game of fetch – he even catches tennis balls in mid air – and shelter staff believes he would make a great family pet.

Find Ike in kennel No. 11, ID No. 32187.
