LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several dogs of varying ages and sizes are available for adoption from Lake County Animal Care and Control this week.
Chihuahua, boxer, shepherd and pit bull mixes between 14 weeks and 4 years of age are ready for new homes.
Through Dec. 23, Animal Care and Control is offering discounted adoption rates on animals, with altering, vaccinations, licensing and microchipping included.
The adoption cost for male dogs is $121, while it costs $131 for females under 60 pounds and $146 for female dogs over 60 pounds (the price is higher due to increased costs of spaying larger dogs).
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.
