LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County’s animal shelter once again has a varied group of unique dogs up for adoption.

Jack Russell terriers, a German Shepherd, an Alaskan Malamute, Chihuahuas, a Pomeranian mix and a Shar Pei mix are among the dogs that it’s hoped soon will be leaving to join new families.

Thanks to Lake County Animal Care and Control’s new veterinary clinic, many of the animals offered for adoption already are spayed or neutered and ready to go home with their new families.

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.

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”).
