LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This week five dogs are cleared and ready to leave Lake County's animal shelter for new homes.
The dogs range in age from 2 to 3 years old, and most have been altered and had their shots.
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.
In addition to the animals featured here, all adoptable animals in Lake County can be seen here: http://bit.ly/Z6xHMb .
