LAKEPORT, Calif. – As the year winds down, the county’s animal shelter has another interesting variety of pooches awaiting homes.
Poodles, and mixes of American Bulldog, German Shepherd, Rottweiler and beagle are ready for adoption.
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.
