LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Animal Care and Control’s kennels are filled this week with a wide variety of adoptable dogs.
Dogs available for adoption this week include mixes of beagle, border collie, boxer, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, Labrador Retriever, Lhasa Apso, pit bull, poodle, shepherd, treeing walker coonhound 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.
If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets hoping you'll choose them.
